Said Bairstow was a great keeper

Careful.....Marsh can change a game.

Oh I say, we’ll played

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Careful.....Marsh can change a game.
Depends on when they shut up shop.

What am I saying......!!!!!!!......I officially cancel that comment.

 

[Machiavelli]

3-1 away win for Australia looks near certain.

Cast-iron certainty

 

[The Wizard]

How can you drop some of the dollies he’s dropped this series the be capable of that, incredible reflexes.

 

[Soton Seagull]

They've done that annoying thing where I now have hope. It'll start raining when 9 down!

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Said Bairstow was a great keeper

.....and me....lol.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Perfect!

I was just grinding my teeth listening to TMS and Jim Maxwell describing how the ‘strong arm of Marsh’ will be what will win the game for the Aussies. Love it!

When will we get the new ball?

 

[The Wizard]

Cast-iron certainty

Must be anaemic

 

[Audax]

For me ... If you'd played Woakes and Wood from the first test, and taken the decision that Jimmy seems incapable of making for him (ie don't pick him) and you'd probably be looking at 3-1 or 4-0 in favour of England by the end of today, instead of what I expect will become 2-2.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Its the hope that kills you.

 

[HangletonGull]

Take the new ball or not now?

 

[The Wizard]

Woakes is bowling like I remember Jimmy bowling, absolutely perfect bowling.

Doesn’t get enough credit, outstanding all round cricketer.

Amongst other things ...

I've not seen the catch he's just taken, but consistently taking the easy catches relies on technique, practice and fitness.
It doesn't have much to do with the ability to take screamers.

 

[The Fits]

What a catch.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Great catch and well done to Marsh for walking. The pundits think there is no spirit of cricket but clearly not all current players agree (even Aussies).

 

[KZNSeagull]

Starc OUT!! Woakes 275-7

 

[Titanic]

YES!!!! WOAKES!!!!

This is crazy

275-7
