All because they didn't have the balls to make a decision.

Did they not drop green because he was a bit average (he was)? Or was he injured?

Marsh came in and performed so keeps the spot?

 

[Sniffer]

This is your problem with shitty all seam attacks unless it's a proper green top. Where's the variety, how are you changing the game. You can't.

I think they also had their eye on the weather forecast and the draw. Go into the game thinking that and you can get unstuck.
England still have plenty to do to win the game with the weekend forecast.

 

[Wolftone]

Could have played Todd Murphy

Green was injured (slight hammy). So Marsh came in.

Do you go back to your project player - who has been awful with both bat and ball in this series - or keep the guy who just scored a ton and has a great record vs England. Or do you totally bottle it like Dean Saunders 2013.

They chose Option C.

Fair. That is pretty bizarre

178/1 in 25 overs

 

[Sniffer]

Bazball is back!

 

[Mel Evo]

That was just superb.

 

[darlowolf64]

Over 7 an over in that session... Poor Aussies

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I have had to crash but the first couple of minutes of the channel 9 tea round up was amusing. I thought Ian Healy was going to cry.

 

[Wolftone]

Not 'cute' umpiring. Bottling the decision.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Crawley looks unplayable in this kind of form

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Root getting an absolute scuttler, no chance of playing that

 

[WsWolf]

Yeah if was unplayable, just stuck in the ground.

 

[darlowolf64]

Shame that Root hasn't got his ton but the ball is beginning to stay pretty low so the Aussies won't be that happy

 

[jd1981]

We have complete control of this the only thing that’ll stop us winning is the rain

 

[sycophantia]

So what do we think Stokes will declare at, 150 lead?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Whatever we get by lunch I reckon.
