Saigon Raider Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 If Smith is out of the next game it will mean Paine actually has to captain the team - would be a massive loss for the Aussies and their batting line up is just a shaky as England's without him (maybe even more so). Buttler and especially Stokes very good this morning. Pitch is doing a little bit and one from Lyon stayed very low. Should be about 70 odd overs left, if England get to 200 ahead would be interesting if they put the foot down for a few and then stick them in. Even if England don't win it let Archer get a head of steam up and fly in for a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 More importantly there has to be a huge question mark over his availability for the next test, especially with the quick turn around. You’d have thought so, wouldn’t you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 On a related note, does anyone know how to turn on wicket notifications on the new ECB app? I can’t find the option anywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 England starting to try and up the scoring rate, still can't see them declaring with less than 250 tbh. Lead 191 at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Century for Stokes, but tbh these are pointless runs England are scoring now. Would have been much better giving themselves that extra 20-30 minutes to bowl. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorlomin Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I seriously expected them 9 down for lunch. Major turn around by some of the middle order batters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saigon Raider Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Disagree they are pointless runs - England are running off there with the whole crowd behind them and the Aussies have been smashed all over the park for the last 30 minutes. When Archer gets the new ball, Australia know they can only survive and with no Smith it's going to be very interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) Yeah, even if Warner gets in and tees off there's no field or legside bowling restrictions like there are in white ball cricket edit: reasons why Australia shouldn't win.

Australia aren't going to score 200 never mind 250+ imo, but if England have them 8 or 9 down and run out of time they'll wish they had declared earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Early days in the last innings but are Australia chasing the target or just protecting their wicket? Feel a lower target would have been required to get them to chase it. 267 just looks like it lacks the bait to create enough wicket opportunities 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
