he was so slow to react...pretty obvious harris would try to swing it back into him...just seems off the pace with his reactions at the moment compared to the high standards previously set

I've now covered my bet with an Australia win...

I've now covered my bet with an Australia win...

In to 100/30 now

 

[bern]

Come on rain...

 

[Kendall]

Hopefully these two can put on a hundred+ before KP comes in and swats us towards victory.

 

[cockjol]

Aussies fuming after trott review goes his way...funny how they forget smith got away with one even closer than that in first innings which helped them get a big total

 

[cockjol]

Well trott gifts his wicket away anyway...he's been poor this series too...englAnd clearly thought rain would save them today and could lose this if they don't wake up

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

I'm already counting my money

 

[Kendall]

Root needs to be playing shots.

Pietersen in, time for a quick 50 to get the Aussies sweating.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

This one is all over - bar the rain.

 

[Kendall]

OK pray for rain

 

[talkshowhost86]

I blame Arnoldtoo for this. He said we were made of sterner stuff!

 

[KPSPUR]

If the Aussies do win this one, at least it makes the series more interesting.

 

[Spurs_Bear]

OK pray for rain

Oh now you want rain you ******* ****.

******* football **** ****.

****.

 

[Azazello]

Double facepalm.

 

[cockjol]

More drs controversy....mind you poor shot from pietersen under circumstances...England still giving impression they weren't mentally prepared to bat today

 

[WiganSpur]

Actually hoping it doesn't rain. It serves England right, the Aussies have deserved this fair play to them.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

TBH it's been coming. The batting (the odd patch apart) has been below what we'd expect to see for quite a while now IMO. The bowlers have kept us competative and even then they struck it a bit lucky in the first test. Hopefully, this will jolt a few of them into life.

 

[talkshowhost86]

I can't imagine either side is going to come out at the end of this series with any love for DRS. Every decision that is reviewed seems to have some degree of controversy.

 

[cockjol]

whether we win ashes or not, we have batted poorly as a team in this series
