Patty you champ. Out for six months so no rythm but he sure knows how to produce a wicket ball when needed.

 

[LFC]

so, they are 3 down ATM.
Lets take a punt how long they gonna last before all out
I'll say 250 ?

 

[Beretta]

Gary the Goat.

2 wickets in his first over.

 

[Sharkman84]

Fucking Pommy cunts.

Root you cheating bastard.

 

[LFC]

I'm only viewing score live feed whilst working, what he do ?

 

[LFC]

by the way - I recall some posts before saying no to Lyon being picked if I recall right ?

Fair guess mate.

Pope must be a nitemare to coach. He is compact, good defense, decent shot selection, but for some unknown reason to his coaches he manages to get himself out too cheaply far too often.

Jeez Root has dodged a bullet. Dill of a third umpire denies the worlds best keeper one of his special snaffles.

 

[Richie]

This is Lyons fave and most successful Aussie pitch. Can see why.

Yeh in Perth and Brissie which were clearly pace friendly decks with little need for a spinner. And that is the way it eventuated.

Jeez Root has dodged a bullet. Looked as tho the worlds best keeper had his fingers under that.

That's what I was referring to.

And those mouthbreathers in the Barmy Army say we cheated?

Gtfoh!

Well up them. Too much Aussie sun. It is the third umpire that determines a reviewed dismissal.

 

[Richie]

The champ has found his rythm.

Short spells by the quicks in this heat.

Me.

I still think it was a mistake to play the first 2 Tests without a specialist spinner. Just think GOAT is getting too old.

As long as Lyon contains from one end. It is okay. Soon they are going to miss Webster.

Paddy and Green can’t bowl sustained spells, whilst the captain returns from injury,

Big wicket Root.

Must admit I like watching him bat.

 

[Decentric]

Brook is batting well - liked the walk down the wicket cut/square drive for 6!

It could have gone either way. Baggers.
