Ballance only needs 8 to be top scorer for the innings.

The Bell miss was probably an easier take.

Indeed. The sooner they drop the big soft prick, the better.

Yeah, and Australia should drop Watson as well.

Bell- 2 off 28 balls. So much for the theory that he'd counter-attack from number three.

by beamer Sat 04 Jan 2014, 00:24

Perhaps we should have played Puke Shite instead.

by skully Sat 04 Jan 2014, 00:28

Cot gets Belf!!!! 5-23!!

by Henry Sat 04 Jan 2014, 00:28

Bring back Root.

by skully Sat 04 Jan 2014, 00:28

Fantastic line and length bowling by the Aussie attack. Mega kudos to McSofty for punching some sense into 'em.

Bigger impact than Boof?

by skully Sat 04 Jan 2014, 00:31

Stokes to the rescue again?

by OP Tipping Sat 04 Jan 2014, 00:31

Starting to feel sorry for these Poms.

Apparently the last time an England legspinner took a wicket in a victory was 1968.

So if they lose this, they can blame Aborthion, because he took a wicket...

I get the feeling England just don't want to be here. Laughing

Is there anything in the hypothesis that the length of stay in the England system is in some sort of inverse proportion to the quality of current performance?

by beamer Sat 04 Jan 2014, 00:36

Well anyone with that attitude shouldn't be lining up against Sri Lanka in June. Even if that amounts to seven or eight of them.

Runs for Stokes and Ballance would be the best possible endorsement of that theory.

by OP Tipping Sat 04 Jan 2014, 00:37

I am assuming that Australia will not enforce the follow-on, if the opportunity arises.

Aye. McGrath Day is tomorrow.

Nicholarse may get bagged but he does talk some well considered sense.

When he's asked to talk some sense, yes. But he long ago sold his soul in pursuit of Channel Nine $$$$

by beamer Sat 04 Jan 2014, 00:44

Well, that's one milestone passed at least.

by skully Sat 04 Jan 2014, 00:44

Get Rhino back on.
