wulliemc Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 AUS are a stick on. If this was the other way round every Eng fan would be saying get root out game over or just take all the wkts at the other end.Runs on the board virtually always wins.Love to be wrong but expect this to be over potentially by lunch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Yeah, I reckon 260 all out here. If they can survive the 18 overs to the new ball and it's 230-4 though, pressure on the Oz quicks to deliver would be huge 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 very nicely poised going into the last day. Still make the Aussies favourites, even more so after Mallans late wicket yesterday. Hopefully England will win to square the series though. For anyone struggling to find radio commentary I found this link: https://www.guerillacricket.com/ Not too bad and they don't mind swearing or take themselves too seriously! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 England just need to hang in there, they will only need to score a couple of runs an over as there should be around 90 in the day. I'm sure Lyon will bowl a lot of these first 18 overs as the Aussies will be desperate to get their hands on the new ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmothecat2 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Would have been a spectacular comeback had they done it, glad to see a bit of fight in the England team though. Don't hold much hope at the WACA so sadly think the Aussies will be regaining the Ashes in Perth. I felt England needed to win in Adelaide to hold any chance of retaining the Ashes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I got up at 6 this morning with my kids, expecting I'd get to watch some of it. An absolutely pathetic capitulation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtie78 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Lost a tenner but delighted with that. Aussies should wrap it up at Perth. Annoying as f**k how impossible it is to get a decent highlights package without having BT though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Surprised nobody picked up the highlights tbh, Channels 4 and 5 have covered plenty of previous series between them.Think Australia might ditch Handscomb for the next Test, he has looked completely unconvincing and if he sat any further back in his crease he would be behind the stumps.Can't see how England can change much, they certainly need to find the performance levels from days 3 and 4 from the first ball in Perth. Vince must be the one under most scrutiny with the bat, his average of 20 is propped up by his high score of 83. Bairstow is one of the few in form and looking capable of standing up to the Aussie bowling, could there be a case for moving him up at least 1? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about picking them up - BT wanted exclusive rights and paid the ACB enough to ensure that so they also have highlights. They aren't going to allow a terrestrial broadcaster to show highlights free in prime time which will get much higher viewing figures than they'd get for 8 hours live coverage when most people are sleeping, are they? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlandmagyar 2nd String Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Stokes named in the ODI squad. Hopefully a sign he will be in the Ashes squad. Desperation.
