Cast iron hat-trick chance here for Air.

All we can hope for now, to take anything away from the game, is Twat pulling a muscle off his pea-sized heart to miss the SAf tour.

Just saw the score. Ugh.

Either we batted terribly or the MCG drop in continues to be a pile of poo.

Lucky you for not sitting through the garbage. Scoring was a little difficult on a slow deck, but it was terrible batting + good bowling.

And Qunt starts with a couple of wides.

Yep, Cook a pretty straightforward one at slip and Watto was actually LBW the ball before he was out but the finger didn't go up. Not sure if it's just my imagination but Clarke seems to have been bowled quite a bit recently.

Why can't Adelaide have its own drop-ins?

Clarke's form has been non existent for the second half of the Summer.

Yep. All very worrying with a massive series a couple of weeks away.

And Red - sorry to besmirch the crappy MCG drop in.

Belf gone.

Stokes gone for a blob.

Chef will nurse Eng home tonight.

by skully Sun Jan 26, 2014 7:42 pm

Doing it easy - in singles.

by Brass Monkey Sun Jan 26, 2014 8:01 pm

This is England's idea of paradise: chase 218 down in 50 overs. We'll get there in 47 overs.

by skully Sun Jan 26, 2014 8:16 pm

Give Warnie a bowl!!!

Morgan's very classy at this form, and the Neph seems to be enjoying the lack of pressure.

Yeah utter load of crap
Glad I didnt bother watching the game

by skully Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:22 pm

Mini-choke by England and it was 5 wickets to get 60 off 60 or so. But Doh bowled a poor over after Ravi almost skied it to Twat (who lumbered after it but couldn't get there). 10 off the over has released the jackals.

by Henry Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:27 pm

Oh dear England.....

by skully Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:28 pm

England playing ridiculously. They can get these in singles, but Blakey has just hoiked one to Qunt M'Kay. 6-174. 44 off 45 required.

Coupla hefty Brezzy or StuRat blows should sort this. StuRat could lock in MoM if he did that, to go with his excellent 3-31.

by furriner Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:31 pm

Just woke up in time to see some (possible) comedy from England.

Hoping for some fun before I go back to sleep.

by LeFromage Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:36 pm

We haven't even got any South Africans in the XI.

Got a New Zealander, though.

by lardbucket Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:37 pm

Thought this would have been over long ago, but somehow England has contrived to keep us in it.

by furriner Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:39 pm

Unlkely to be any more comedy I guess, now England looking like they'll get it.

by lardbucket Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:40 pm

Run a ball. A wicket now would make it interesting.
