Superb stuff second session. Carse redeems himself with a superb run out from his own bowling and Convict CC are all back in the hutch for 152.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Duckett out cheaply AGAIN.

With the headlines about Noosa, I think his place must be under serious question now as his average this series has been shocking.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hmmmm

The Bethell experiment not exactly a resounding success.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Fuckitybuggershitstix.

This isn't going to last two days.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

So. Day 1 not over and the third innings starts with Australia having a 42 run lead.

This England side simply cannot fucking bat.

Well just woken up saw Australia were 4-0, I assumed we’d batted most the day.
Pitch looks like a seam bowlers paradise.
I’ll always say never get excited until this England side has a go on the same wicket as they’re beyond useless

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Duckett yet again awful and who’d have thought bringing in a bloke who’s carried drinks more often than he’s batted this year and has never scored a red ball hundred would make a difference? Two down in the blink of an eye and you knew exactly what would follow.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The pitch is very, VERY difficult. So England decided that there was a ball with their name on it soon so might as well charge the bowlers.

This went as well as Lord Cardigan charging the Russian guns

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Root and Brook both got corkers. Everyone else got themselves out.

Made Neser look like Dennis Lillee.

 

[jd1981]

Some nice early short and wide dross from our bowlers early on

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

DO NOT GIVE CARSE THE NEW BALL

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Well this is getting interesting. Shame Atkinson has injured himself but otherwise a good morning.

 

[Trips]

Carse has bowled well this morning tbf to him

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

After the initial rubbish he has been very good. One more wicket and can start planning our batting collapse.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

175 to get.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Blimey. Starting like it is a T20. Somebody got a hot date tonight?

 

[jlo]

This is entertaining, thankfully it's not middle of the night where I am or I'd get no sleep to watch this through!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That was fun from Duckett. Carse in at number 3 is an intriguing solution to the top order problems

 

[jlo]

Why are you hitting shots like that with 3 days left to win and an average of 18 runs per wicket needed. Still fancy England to find a way to lose this.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think that is rather unlikely now. Obviously the pitch is a minefield so attack is some form of defence.
