We absolutely have players with the ability to bat a full day, build a decent total and have late day 4/day 5 to bowl at them.

It is whether they are going to have the application to do so!

Right on cue, thanks Pope!

Hmmm 2 down now, collapsed incoming.

Brook will either give his wicket away slashing a wide one or score 150 and save the game 😉

We've been here so many times in the past with England it's the former!

Literally as I write the above Crawley goes.

More than likely. The problem now is they have invested so much time in the likes of Pope and Crawley that we have no backup options so it is even harder to drop them.

Root and Brooks out.

Game over in every way.

They say there's bad weather forecast.

Checked the score about 10am, 90-1 - thought that wasn’t too bad, if they can get to close 2 down they could make a fight of it. Check again just now 132-6. It’s like they’re on a different pitch to the Aussies.

I guess they realised they were going to lose a day on the golf course if they hung around too long.

 

[Binky]

TV off, I've given up. Bit like England.

Oh well, saves getting up early tomorrow I suppose.

What an unmitigated shambles. Unfortunately, exactly as predicted.
Well on course to be all over before lunch tomorrow.
The series already looking odds on to be another whitewash.

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Oh my goodness, just switched on and England have a lead and are still 6 down.
Whatever next?

 

[Binky]

Aus need 65 to win, I think they'll get it but at least made to bat again.

Where's Bob Willis when you need him!
