*Official* Fifth Test at the SCG

[TumTum]

Change my mind, Smith is my favorite tail-ender.

 

[Ruckus]

Clarke should be an aggressive captain and declare.

 

[hazsa19]

Change my mind, Smith is my favorite tail-ender.

He's my favourite Australian 'cricketer' of all time.

 

[Spark]

What the hell? Strange set of byes.

 

[JBH001]

Anderson in at last. A couple of overs late though, Strauss.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Don't mind if we don't finish it today, another morning of Aussie papers giving them abuse will be good and it is better to celebrate with a beer than a coffee given the time over here.

Awesome display once more by England, abysmal again by Australia.

 

[TumTum]

Smith is closing in to catching up with the runs he's conceded in the series (without any wickets btw).

 

[flibbertyjibber]

This extra half hour is the first session Australia have won since Perth.

If only some of the top order showed the fight Siddle does.

 

[Bun]

Swann has been meh in this series

 

[Ruckus]

It's all good to show some fight when there is still a chance, but I kind of wish they would just roll over and die now tbh. I'm sure people who bought SCG day 5 tickets would rather a complete refund than making the trip all the way there for probably 20 minutes cricket as well.

[Gilly Fan]

Look at the crowd behind the slips. All of them jumped up.

 

[Jacknife]

Wooh,how close was that to the slips.

 

[JBH001]

Anderson not impressed with that shot. He looks a little tired, tbh; probably emotional and physical.

They need to maintain that intensity for just one more day.

i thought day 5 tickets were sold "on-demand" and not presold with the rest of the tickets.

 

[JBH001]

Good little partnership here with nothing to lose. Smith and Siddle have done well.

Hes not been at his very best, but you're still talking bollocks.

Hes been very important today, bowling more overs than everyone else for not much and creating some trouble along the way. He did the same in Melbourne, which was yet another seamers wicket btw.

Oh, and we wouldn't have won in Adelaide without him.

Yes, totally agree.

There might be some on demand ones, but I'm pretty sure there were pre-sale as well. I was thinking of going about a month back and I remember you could buy presale like the other days. I think if there is less than 10 overs played though you get a complete refund or something.

 

[Gilly Fan]

This would be a great game if it was England vs India or England vs South Africa. Very good pitch.
