Ashes 21/22

[LB 15]

After news of Novax Jokesonthelittlebitch visa issue broke, the England Cricket team have now appealed decision to allow them to stay in Australia.

2 down already...with one to Boland in his 2nd over.  He has a Test average atm of 6.88!!

Edit: Make that 3 with Boland now at 2/0 with avg of 6.11!!

 

[00seven]

3/336

 

[00seven]

4/36

 

[Alhadder]

And with another wicket down...that's lunch. England will not see out the day batting.

 

[Phil]

Boland - 2 wickets for no runs in 4 overs

Green - 1 wicket for no runs in 4 overs.

England are playing well - not at 4/36. 53 balls without a run.

 

[P_Wop]

Boland's astonishing effort, from dismissing Bairstow at MCG to now: 

W....W..W.W..............W......W.....

His current numbers 4 4 0 2

And the Australian bowlers have 53 dot balls in a row, including 3 wickets.

What a mess.

 

[Alhadder]

Well well well...England have found some fight. Was about to write they've put on 200 runs with loss of only 2 wickets but Wood just nicked one that then hit his helmet then bobbled up to Lyon at point and now they're 7/245 with Bairstow 5 short of the 1st English ton for the series.

 

[Alhadder]

I tried, for a while I really did, but I can't stand the fucking brain numbing ads.

Then I went back and tried again and failed, switched it off.  How the fuck did we ever watch TV and put up with seeing the same stupid shit repeated once every six ball bowled.

It's just not worth the brain pain.

Kayo is your friend Random. I signed up on a $5 per month deal for 2 months to watch the Ashes and will cancel it after the Hobart Test.

And Bairstow got his ton and England finished the day at 7/258. Finally some fight. Probably not enough but at least it's something.

 

[DtM]

I second the Kayo approach. I have it for all sorts of sport.   Fantastic and can cancel it at the drop of a hat.

 

[Tunnel Rat]

Well - the English have avoided the follow on and it looks likely that the match will reach Day 5 - none of which I would have believed at lunch!

 

[The Main Man]

Finally, some fight!

 

[00seven]

Well - the English have avoided the follow on and it looks likely that the match will reach Day 5 - none of which I would have believed at lunch!

It's the pink test, got to make money for the breast cancer crew. I'm good with that.

ABC radio Grandstand. No ads and no leftist bullshit. And the voice of summer Jim Maxwell.

At the moment we are dealing with an ex-tropical cyclone and I'm bored.

Have you tried Pornhub?

 

[00seven]

No, but once I spent 5 mins on YouPorn.

No links please. Yech...

 

[00seven]

All out 294. Aussie leads by 122 with 2 days to play

 

[Alhadder]

mmm...we may have a bit of a contest with Australia losing Labuschagne and Smith since lunch to be 4/91 atm only 213 runs in front.

But then England need to bat on this wicket so we probably only need a 150 run lead  :lol:

 

[P_Wop]

So Australia declare at 270 or so, 390 ahead, and put England in late today for a few torrid overs, hoping to shatter some opening bats. 

Then it's clean up on day 5, assuming the weather holds.

 

[P_Wop]

Revised.... Australia will wait to declare until Khawaja has his second match century, or is dismissed.  As above, serious bowling attack at the end of the day.
