*Official* Third Test at the WACA

[SpofforthLohman]

Losing confidence with these blokes again, is England going to keep the darn ashes ?

Hey, I was half watching the last session from the clubhouse today, and I saw one weird thing where some graphic appeared to show a player running across a body of water - wtf was going on there?

 

[SpofforthLohman]

what's the opposite of a golden summer?

Oh man I hope no one says.... "golden shower"....

 

[SpofforthLohman]

Johnson bowled brilliantly today, can't believe what I'm reading.

You would agree that he does need to get the odd wicket though. Going wicketless is not good.

 

[Spikey]

i agree. going wicketless is not good.

Slight correction... it is good if you are England.

 

[Maximas]

I hope no one says "Maximas"

 

[SpofforthLohman]

Thing is that stats don't say... well yeah he failed but gee he was brilliant... no they just stay up there forever in cold hard black and white..

 

[SpofforthLohman]

I hope no one says "Maximas"

Well no one would.. but you sort of painted a target <

This game still doesn't feel like a contest despite England being in not too bad of a position, you just know if one of these two batsmen nick off in the first four or five overs tomorrow then we wont make 220. Even though England have fought better in this innings it still has a patronising feel to it, like the chubby kid on sports day who everybody cheers on for participating but all know has no chance in hell of actually winning anything.

England in Australia 2013/14?

Yes I think we can do it. The teams are very evenly matched. England has the better batting lineup (despite recent form) and Australia the slightly better bowling attack. If we can escape from Perth without a defeat the Aussie team will start getting nervous I'm sure.

Get a room you two. Preferably one with a door only lockable from the outside. And no windows.

[Cabinet96]

Gee, I wish some of our blokes would lose form and resort to 90mph+ accurate thunderbolts.

 

[Tangles]

Referring to this, ****.

I'm just saying that with Rads form there's no way Wade makes the team as keeper. Personally hoping Nev succeeds Rad.

 

[nightprowler10]

I didn't watch the whole day but fmd how can anyone say MJ was poor? He had Cook dancing after lunch.

Cook looking sharp since that edge. Will make 50 here.

 

[Tangles]

5 out all out is fairly accurate but Stokes isn't a 6 so the tail is batting. We could probably give Bell singles and cut through the tail if we wanted based on Brisbane and Roadelaide. Can Bell shield them from the strike and score the measly 205 required for parity? Sky commentators said Aussie tail was averaging 50 partnerships. England are gone if that doesnt happen.

 

[Tangles]

Just saw the last 2 wickets and wtf was KP thinking. I know Siddle has his number so why wouldnt you just respect Siddle and go after someone else to relieve pressure. Hell, anyone else if it was me.

Warner must have been so happy he did a jig at finding another leftie who cant play the cut shot against a spinner. They both have spinners in their teams so maybe work on the flaw in the nets boys.

An English summer*.
