They are all crucial wickets now!

Hah, that was my (pedantic) point. It was a crucial wicket, not the crucial wicket!

 

[Sankari]

No team has chased down 88 Test runs in ~30 overs at Edgbaston after 1pm under these weather conditions with 4 wickets remaining and an opener still on strike. Could we see history made today?

Yes

 

[SoliD]

Hopefully will be Khawajas lack of impetus between the stumps that causes Australia to fall short and not Bairstows numerous mistakes.

 

[Sankari]

86 runs to find, but can Australia find them? Where could they be, perhaps down the back of the couch?

 

[fez]

You can't say this isn't exciting. If we can get Khawaja out I think it should be game over. Big if though. We have lots of mistakes in us and he doesn't give away much.

 

[SoliD]

Bring on Brook!

 

[SoliD]

and here comes the big man.

 

[Sankari]

Whatever happens, Khawaja must get man of the match, surely.

Root has a shout, and if England win with Broad taking another couple he must be in with a shout as well. But if Aus win there is no way it's not Khawaja, and even if they don't he should have a decent shout.

 

[Sankari]

Mr Leg Bye working hard for Australia, bless him!

Hes completely carried this Australian batting line up.

 

[robfosters]

This is depressing, Aus are going to do this with ease

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

boom!

 

[SoliD]

What a beauty! And the ball wasn't bad either.

I’m sorry?

 

[Sankari]

Khawaja is gone, that's the crucial wicket!

 

[adidan]

Khawaja is gone, that's the crucial wicket!

That was a crucial wicket. Now just a few more crucial wickets

E: The way he 'celebrated' I think Stokes has been bowling through a fair bit of pain

Good work. Pigeoned them.

 

[Sankari]

No way we can win this now, but it was a good fight while it lasted.
