The Ashes 2015

[JTG]

There'll be others.

Well unless they finally see sense and get shot of him I suppose.

Or if he ever gets a guide to walking routes that don't take him across his stumps

Haddin gone, excellent. Should get a decent lead now.

 

[The Octagon]

New ball to the tail, should be no-mercy-stamp-on-their-necks time.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Johnson gone! Broad gets him, that's one battle won.

TBC Pietersen.

 

[agricola]

that man Root again

 

[redsquirrel]

122 run lead, take that any day. On this wicket that looks very, very challenging.

 

[JimW]

Job's a good 'un

 

[The Octagon]

Boom, excellent stuff.

Quick (but not reckless) runs and we can have these on a pitch that won't be good for 4th innings batting.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Excellent work. That's a big lead with them batting last.

 

[Santino]

Bell to score a pressure-free big innings this afternoon?

 

[butchersapron]

Dobell made me laugh on the bus earlier when i was missing all the wickets:

If Watson fails just 148 more times, his place will be in serious jeopardy.

[hipipol]

I'm stunned but well happy!!

 

[redsquirrel]

Damn, would have been nice to make it to lunch without loss.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Well, Cook's picked a good game to not score any runs in at least.

 

[JTG]

Watson is now joint second for most lbw dismissals in Tests. Still six behind Gooch mind

 

[Doctor Carrot]

This is fantastic ebb and flow test cricket.

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Anyone know of any decent pubs in Bristol showing it with an outdoor screen? I really wanna have a few beers in the sun over the weekend whilst watching it.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Bell giving zero fucks

 

[mwgdrwg]

Really enjoying this. Shame I'm in work but TMS will suffice

 

[JTG]

Twatto's got his exasperated expression on

 

[JTG]

Bell giving zero fucks

The Sledgehammer of Eternal Justice

 

[Santino]

Postpone calls to drop Bell for two more Tests.

 

[Santino]

What's the ideal set up for the win? Get bowled out for a 450 lead by 12ish tomorrow?

 

[The Octagon]

Rain forecast for Sunday, I'd think they'd look to get past 400 (3 an over would get them there tonight), maybe add a bit more tomorrow morning and then have at the Aussies before lunch.

 

[The Octagon]

Which is basically what you said but in more words for some reason.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

With Stokes, Buttler and Moeen in next if we're still there at 12 the lead will be more than that. Sensible shots from these two, then let the next lot have some fun.

 

[JTG]

I predict a load of people demanding we declare from around 5pm tonight onwards
