Smith out... What was that supposed to be?!

A gimme?

 

[Cosimo]

72 behind with 8 wickets in hand. Will hopefully be over by Saturday.

 

[Cosimo]

Lol Clarke out for 3. 76-3

 

[Pighardia]

Beauty from Finn!

Voges gone too!

 

[CHokKA]

Bye bye Clarke! We talk about Cook's recent problems and Bell's as well, but it would seem that Clarke is even more of a mess!

 

[CHokKA]

And another! See you later Voges!

 

[Cosimo]

Got him 76-4.

 

[Pighardia]

Golden duck. Will England bat again?

...Voges won't!

Marsh 92-5! Might even be over by seven tonight.

 

[CHokKA]

Well that ball right there was an absolute gem! Steven Finn definitely needs to remain in the team. I've said it before and I'll say it again. He's a proper enforcer bowler, roughing up the batsmen and then delivering a full, straight, perfect length delivery that knocks the stumps over. Australia have Mitchell Johnson, and we have Finn. Sorted!

 

[Pighardia]

Really pleased for Finn. Unselectable over the last few years but he has come back with a vengeance!

Wow. I forgot Stokes could bowl. Didn't need him in the first innings

 

[Deiwos]

half way through Aus's 2nd innings and this is the first time Stokes is getting a bowl. Amazing stuff from our other fasties.

What an amazing (potentially 2-day) test match. And I say that as someone who holds both British and Australian passports. Finn has certainly earned his place.

 

[el_dazza]

Need to get Warner gone.

 

[CHokKA]

Finn will sort it now

 

[Pighardia]

This is some spell from Finn. Hope he gets his 5

 

[Cosimo]

Warner caught!

 

[el_dazza]

Warner caught!

Get in!
