Think we probably need another 100-150 then we can declare.

Can't see England getting near 350-400 with that style of batting.

Some of their pundits say they chase well.

It'll be interesting as they haven't batted last so far in the series.

 

[Sharkman84]

That's a huge advantage for us if Stokes has a wonky groin.

4/187 with a 272 lead this morning

not too bad, kind of was hoping to wake up with England rolled earlier and use with more wickets in hand

Archer only in his 7th over

 

[Richie]

he only averages 42

Surprised he averages that much.

 

[Richie]

Their selectors are worse than ours!

They won’t play their brilliant keeper, Foakes, against us either!

Probably he didnt wanna bat like the rest.

 

[Sharkman84]

Stokes off the ground. That is a huge plus.

 

[Sharkman84]

Wow! Head dropped on 99!

 

[Sharkman84]

YEEEEEEESSSS!!! YOU LITTLE RIPPER! Travis Head you Legend! Boundary to bring up the ton!

 

[Sharkman84]

Australia 4/209. Head on 105 Carey on 28.

 

[grazorblade]

England are pretty unpredictable. It's a flat wicket, but they might chase down 450 or get rolled for 150 lol

what score would we like?

 

[Richie]

Trav seems to pluck the most unlikely tons from nowhere but was given a helping hand by some poor bowling to him, in fact to all our lefties.

Alex Carey continues his incredible summer with another 50 to go with his century. We are now in a commanding position to win this match and retain the Ashes.

Really?

Just saw Aus batting averages and aggregate runs this calendar year.

Carey 52
Smith 52
Head 35
Usman 38
Webster 35

Top 5 in order of runs accrued. All had 15 innings except Webster 12.

How is Webster dropped whilst also averaging 23 with the ball?

Also, they dropped Neser after taking 7 poles in Brisbane?

Do Bailey and MacD need maths tuition?

 

[Decentric]

Carey’s brilliance, whilst a specialist keeper, has glossed over some batting cracks.

Thankfully it is much cooler.

Not sure?

Tough catch, but Brook has fumbled a few.
