I think we need to get bowling, Aussies aren't going to be thinking anything else but batting time, does another 20-30 runs actually benefit us?

Not only that but if we declare during a session we’re effectively taking another 15 minutes out of the day’s play. Better to get on with it with our bowlers all pretty well rested.

Can we declare 10 minutes before lunch ends? Would mean they have to rush about getting ready.

Though do we think we have enough on the board, or want to bat longer? I was hoping for over 200 lead, but only just short of the 200 so tight call.

Cricket doesn't help itself. You know rainy days are coming, why not have early starts on days 1-3?

overs bowled yesterday when it should be 90 and they stroll off at 6.30 when the light is still great

Absolute nonsense. The administrators of this great game are fucking idiots. Need some people in these roles with common sense

On a side note my U14’s had to play a 100 game the other day. These kids are still learning the game and they throw that shit at them!!!

Time to declare, another 20 runs would have been nice but need to have a bowl.

Bazball for some reason makes losing more palatable for me. Gone is the purgatory of death by a thousand cuts. It's great to watch us putting teams to the sword at times. Of course we have frustrating times as well but it's so enjoyable to watch.

Spoken like a true Spurs fan.

ludicrous slow over rate from the Aussies.

trying to bore their way to the Ashes.

How often do we see in cricket that the team trying to hold on gets steam rollered 4th innings. Have a feeling we will go though them today

Declare? Come on lads

A great shot to bring up the 50 by JB

 

[dvdhopeful]

Can someone send Stokes the Met Office app please?

Can anyone tell me why our leading wicket taker of all time is currently facing a barrage of short stuff in a match that will likely lose 150 overs, when he should have a new rock in his hand nicking off a demoralised Aussie team? Fucking baffling IMO
