The England Cricket Thread

[Sankari]

I reckon England will make 400+ and bowl Australia out for <200.

 

[Cosimo]

Root gone for 130! 297-5

I reckon England will make 400+ and bowl Australia out for <200.

I think their aim will be to declare just before the end of the day, 10-15 overs left, see if they can grab a few wickets. Then bowl them out tomorrow. England might not even need a 2nd innings.

 

[Semple]

You have to think of the crowds getting there, too. And who'd want to finish at five if the weather was good?! That'd be an anti-climax .

Bye Root .

Yeah that's true! haha.


He's given us a good score at least.

 

[Sankari]

Root. 5 for 297.

 

[Sankari]

Wood. 6 for 306.

 

[Semple]

Wood out, Not sure if England will survive to the end of the day actually!

 

[Cosimo]

Another, we'll be at them again before lunch.

 

[Sankari]

Buttler. 7 for 320.

 

[alx]

Just following via cricinfo, but guessing the movement Starc is getting is good news for our bowlers?

 

[Pighardia]

Starc bowling well and getting wickets just makes it all the more sweeter for me... Stop moaning about 'English conditions', you could have used it too if you were playing better!

 

[Sankari]

Stokes. 8 for 332.

 

[Semple]

Falling apart quickly now. Let's hope Ali can stay in till lunch and bag us another 50 runs or so.

 

[Cosimo]

Getting hit all over the place!

 

[xxalxx]

20 in that over?

 

[Semple]

400 would be a great score. That would mean Australia need at least 550 in their 2nd innings.

 

[xxalxx]

53 in 42 balls for the partnership

 

[Locky]

It's the Broad and Ali show again.

Love this style of cricket. Tailenders given the go ahead to smash anything they can.

 

[FTM]
