The England Cricket Thread

[SoliD]

And the MCC really covered itself in glorious impartiality earlier this series

Hahaha

Pretty incredible how much discipline Australia have had to show to score the same total. Took them twice as long! Will be interesting to see how the next few days play out.

Woke up, checked the score, saw our plucky Australian underdogs had mounted a feisty defence. Not too bad considering the state we were in.

 

[mid_gen]

Meh, marginal call whichever way it goes. Can't complain about that. The more I see comments from McGrath though the more I am convinced he is either on the wind up or just a massive *******.

New to the sport, are we?

Same old Aussies, always cheating. I’m almost certain there is a rule that says your tail-enders have to have barely held a bat before. England abide by this almost to a fault.

 

[Sankari]

Any news on Ali? Is he likely to bat today?

 

[SoliD]

He'll come out but possibly not until the tail end.

 

[SoliD]

Solid start so far. Weather looking nice and sunny there!

 

[Sankari]

This is great batting by England. It helps that the weather has miraculously flipped for you!

 

[Darujhistan]

Yep, time to hold my hands up Crawley. Didn't think he's ever convert enough starts to big scores, but looks like he's found that consistency this series.

 

[robfosters]

We wanna have a 400 lead really. The oval is pretty good for run chases.

 

[omnomnom]

In complete control, silly shots and now 4 down. Need at least 100 more

 

[Sankari]

Damn England, save some runs for the rest of us.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Aussies are done here, just grind them into the dirt rest of today and have 2 days to finish the job.

 

[SoliD]

Damn England, save some runs for the rest of us.

We did. Just you didn't bother to hit it more than 5 yards yesterday. Bairstow got his eye in again. Reckon they'll go to lunch tomorrow absolutely demoralise and push on if we have the wickets left. Day and 2 sessions to bowl them out.

Ali doesn't look too affected currently. Be good if he gets through tonight so he can rest up.

 

[SoliD]

Jinxed that didn't I.

 

[omnomnom]

Ridiculous shot by Woakes

 

[SoliD]

Surprised that got given out. Looked outside line and huge movement. Silly shot by woakes indeed. Just temper it. Got so much time left in the game.

 

[turbot1984]

84% Eng win predictor, but Mo gone boo. Reckon that injury held back some giant sixes!

 

[SoliD]

Gonna be getting an over against them here.
