Weatherald taking Poms apart - six 4s.

 

[Decentric]

O-50 already!

 

[Hounddog]

Hard to belive that the pom keeper dropped Head.

Hard to belive that the pom keeper dropped Head.

He is now out for 30 odd after an awful lofted shot.

 

[Decentric]

Weatherald scores his maiden 50.

Aus 1- 109.

 

[Decentric]

Run a ball!

W 58 off 56.

Labu 25 off 27.

1-128.

 

[Decentric]

Tea 1-129 in daylight session, trailing by 204.

Aus on top, by some margin, but things can change quickly under lights.

Australia pushing hard before the night session, curious what we do in the night session

been controlled for the most part, but green playing diagonal bat strokes on a bouncy wicket which I'm not feeling great about. He needs to dig in here, straight or cross bats only please

green looking better, but won't feel comfortable until he stops slashing at suckerballs

Australia is just in control at the moment i feel. Its been a good two days of test cricket.

This pitch will be interesting around day 4.

Will reserve judgement until the end of the day. We look pretty aggressive on short pitched bowling and circumspect on anything on a length which seems a reasonable approach and similar to how we approached perth. These two need to stay in as long as they can to prevent a night session collapse. If we have wickets in hand tomorrow we could quickly wrest control of this match

 

[grazorblade]

Englands bowling surprisingly loose this match given the talent we seemed to see in the first match. Looking pretty comfortable aren't we

 

[grazorblade]

put the mocker on us
green out and once again we have to knuckle down with a newbie coming in

need 100 lead at least

 

[grazorblade]

back to back, steve smith out in the same over

2 new batters under lights in the pink ball and still 40 behind. Real test for inglis and probably neser later

 

[Hounddog]

The Green dismisal was bizare.

 

[Hounddog]

Smithy alightly unlucky.

We need to bats this out and try not to lose more wickets tonight.

yeah a silly bazball style dismissal

smith was attacking the shortball which seems a good tactic on this pitch. Very bouncy but true

Hate to admit it but that Jacks catch to get Smith out was a screamer.

 

[Muz]

Cam Green is an idiot. Throwing his wicket away for absolutely no reason.

Clown.

 

[grazorblade]

first movement back and across to a full ball there

Australia in a wrestle here. Need to see it out to stumps without losing a wicket. I'd like a 100 run lead
