11-0

Epic partnership

Who said we can’t play test match cricket

Normal service is resumed

 

[SteveH]

we should simply stop fielding a test side from henceforth!
stick to white ball

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

haha, just saw this on the BBC

England must bat 8 sessions to draw

We'll be lucky if we bat a total of eight sessions in the entire remainder of the series

This is all going to unravel pretty quickly now I think. The wheels have come off, the team is shot.

Unfortunately the eighth 'batting' session will probably come during the winter tour.

I'm not watching it either. I can't bring myself to watch gloating Aussies, especially the moment they win. It actually makes my vomit gland bulge.

If we get through 8 sessions I'll eat my own shit.

Why won't Denly's brain stop his demented persuit of those wide ones?

Maybe getting the target under 300 will calm things down and give them a sense of purpose.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

This is all well and good but one or both of these will be out swinging at a wide one.

SHUT UP - we are so going to do this

[dondo]

At least Root and Denly are applying themselves here.
Not a lot to choose between the sides in English conditions, just they have been prepared to dig in and grind out the runs

[karennina]

Labuschagne on has to be a good sign. We're wearing them down
