*Official* Fifth Test at the SCG

[Burgey]

I ****ing hate Bowden, he's such a moron.

The game is not about you!

This.

If he wants the crowd to watch him, he should have been a rugby referee.

Didn't think that was a dead ball tbh.

 

[Jacknife]

Jimmy seems to be trying to take a wicket with every ball, needs to find that good line and length he's had all series.

 

[hazsa19]

Well I guess you can't blame them for getting a bit carried away...

 

[Jacknife]

Might be worth getting Swanny on early.

 

[slippy888]

To be fair this aint the type of wicket Chris Timlett will enjoy, the wicket is really flat.

 

[TumTum]

Apart from Khawaja, I really can't be bothered celebrating any of these guys if they reach a 100.

 

[Furball]

Just once, I'd like to see Watson **** off early for single figures.

 

[four_or_six]

I don't get how 'since Watson's been opening he hasn't really been injured' and 'since Watson's been opening he hasn't bowled as much' translates to 'Watson should bat four or five so that he can bowl more'.

 

[hazsa19]

Australia going for the win.

 

[zaremba]

England looking fairly pedestrian on a flat pitch. 3.12am now and I have to ask myself whether it's worth staying up to watch the crims bat.

Botham's left the comms box so that's a plus.

 

[morgieb]

Betting that the talk about how flat the pitch is will quickly stop when Swann starts bowling.

Yeah backing him to take a 5-fer here.

 

[Ruckus]

Such a stupid decision to bat first...

Times like this where it's just nice to listen to the BBC commentary, even though there's a heck of a delay if you watch the pictures on mute.

 

[Spark]

TBF the rough outside the left-handers off-stump is quite wide so there will be a few left alone out there.

I know people were talking about how Johnson is light-footed but wow. He bowled, what, 35 overs? Barely a speck outside the RH's off stump.

Love how people are now criticising the decision to bat first. Yeah because conceding 600+ was so part of the plan.

 

[TumTum]

This is the 3rd innings (out of 10) of this series where we had the conditions go our way. Screwed it up both in Adelaide and MCG, hopefully we can make a fist of it here.

 

[Spark]

Wow. Failure.

Of the highest level.

LEARN HOW TO ****ING RUN

THAT'S THREE TIMES NOW, DON'T WATCH THE ****ING BALL!

 

[hazsa19]

Not again!

 

[alternative]

Runout!!!!!!!!!!!! woohooo.

 

[Ruckus]

haha justice I spose.

 

[Jacknife]

****ing get in, great piece of fielding by KP
