[fleet]

Ali worth his place as a batsman but as a bowler....

Australia 252-9, leading by 107

Imagine how edgy we will be when we are 45-4 later!

Imagine how edgy we will be when we are 45-4 later!

You mean effectively -95 for 4

That was ASTOUNDING. Still remember listening to that test on the radio in absolute AWE. Lesson learnt to put a quid or two on the unlikeliest of England cricketing results. Just for shits and giggles, like.

My best bet was Sydney 2002/03. A dead rubber. No McGrath or Warne. England were 9/1- silly odds. I made a packet on that one. No compensation for the fact that my good mate [MENTION=616]Guinness Boy[/MENTION] was actually at the match. The only time I've ever hated him.

 

[nwgull]

He had everything to gain nothing to lose so an obvious move. I am sure he would be worried about a few people calling him a cheat if he batted long enough for the heavens to open and they got a draw.

It's nothing to do with the cheating; it's the complete futility of the review. Anyone who's ever held a cricket bat knows that you always know when you've got the faintest of nicks. That review was like reviewing if his stumps had been knocked out of the ground: pointless and a waste of a review and time.

What did the Aussies need in 1981...130 wasn't it? 119 now.

 

[Titanic]

Starc perishes for an impressive 58 (108 balls, 6 fours, 1 six)... Ali has a wicket, nice moment for the sub Josh Poysden to take the catch!

Australia 265 all out

England need 121 to win the 3rd Test and lead the five match series by 2-1.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Got 'im

 

[Greg Bobkin]

We're loose

 

[fleet]

Let's hope for an easy ride to 121!

 

[Badger]

Hmmm, tricky target. I reckon we'll do it but not with lots of wickets in hand.

'Interesting' over or two before lunch for Cook and Lyth

and Cook and Bell.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Lump on!

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I predict that England will lose SIX wickets.

 

[KZNSeagull]

England will win by 8 (eight) wickets.

 

[nwgull]

I predict that England will lose SIX wickets.

I'll go with that. The new ball will be very lively, as it has been in all 3 innings so far. If England can see out the first 20 overs without losing more than 4 wickets, we'll be home and dry.

 

[Simster]

We will be 40/3 as usual (with Lyth and Bell undoubtedly failing), but will rally and will win comfortably enough in the end by FIVE wickets.

 

[Badger]

SEVEN wickets
