England are a very tempting 10/3 to win the third test.

Should have stuck with this instead of Ali! Though that still wast a bad shout tbh.

Surely they can't survive Jimmy much longer!
. Edit - wow. I jinxed him there alright.

Australia needs at least 350 to remain competitive. That's not going to happen on this pitch.

Off to bed; will check the damage tomorrow morning!

Morning ........ How's the weather downunder

Hooray, we made it to day 3!

What a train wreck. Finn is looking impressive. Reckon this will be all over by lunch, if not earlier.

Only concern I have being a negative England fan is if the lead is 150 and the aussies get a few early wickets, will be some squeaky bums no doubt!

Did someone have a bet on England to lose? Better keep your fingers crossed, because it's not looking good for Australia!

Everyone bet on an England win.

Ffs wrap it up now England. These two are making a mockery of the good bowling done yesterday!

Sankari · 31 Jul 2015 at 11:30

Wow... Peter Nevill, the half-century devil!

:eek:

Everyone...?

I can see exactly what will happen here. We'll be all out with a lead of 100 or so, Aus will get a stonking second innings score, leaving us with no option but to bat out for a draw, and instead, we'll be skittled for about 150 and limp to another embarrassing defeat.

In fact, I'm so sure, I've had a bet on it.

England to win by 9 wickets, that's my prediction.

Cosimo · 31 Jul 2015 at 11:43

Out, reviewed and Nevill out!

Lead now 72-8.

Sankari · 31 Jul 2015 at 11:48

Nevill! 8 for 217. He's done Australia proud.

As if Michael Holding just said that!

Sankari · 31 Jul 2015 at 12:09

Well, we made it past drinks. Just wish there had been some magic potion on tap.

Pighardia · 31 Jul 2015 at 12:11

Joe Root?

Odd.

SMN · 31 Jul 2015 at 12:11

A lead over 100 on this pitch will make for interesting watching. By interesting i mean, watching through my fingers with a grimace.

CHokKA · 31 Jul 2015 at 12:12

This is painful. I can't believe that we can't get these tail enders out!

Cosimo · 31 Jul 2015 at 12:16

Hazlewood gone for 11.

Pighardia · 31 Jul 2015 at 12:17

Great catch!

Sankari · 31 Jul 2015 at 12:17

As usual, tail enders teaching the openers how to hit a ball with a stick... :rolleyes:

Having said that: go on Starc, you good thing!

Oh ********.

9 for 245!
