Theres more for the bowlers on my concrete driveway.

Mine too. Always prepare a classic driveway pitch, with plenty of concrete joints to expose. One just outside the legs - that the resident leg spinner has targeted to recreate Warne Vs Gatting on several occasions. And a few cross joints that has the ball rearing up at the batsman from such a length, that it would make Thommo, Big Bird and Ambrose misty eyed with nostalgia and pride.

Carey drops Bairstow, would've been a good catch, but should've been taken, just hit the wrong part of the glove.

Edit

Carey makes up for it with a tidy stumping of Bairstow, we really needed that wicket, 2/297.

Honestly, faark baz ball and faark the poms.

Sporting declaration? Arrogance.

Seriously, faark Mccullum and faark Stokes.

Full of themselves and I hope we post 500+ on the freeway Stokes unsportingly wanted.

Bat forever and don’t declare, just as a ‘*smile* you’

Draw is better for us consider we hold the urn

Sounds like they made a "special" pitch to suit their own game. Hopefully it backfires and we accumulate a lot of runs with the pitch deteriorating later.

Pfft, Bazball !!!!

Australia scored 480 odd in Adelaide, on day 'one' of a test against South Africa a few years back.

Australia invented Bazball

Warner out to a terrible shot for 9. Woeful.

 

[Carter]

And there it is

Warner isn’t up for this challenge

 

[tigertim]

Labuschagne out for a golden! Broad on fire.

Labuschagne out for a golden! Broad on fire.

A disgraceful shot, first ball, you leave them every day of the week.

Back to the footy then

 

[Carter]

That was poor by labbers

 

[Carter]

S Smith, so solid already

 

[Carter]

Smith set.

Bad news for England.

 

[Carter]

That was high, don’t care about the tech

 

[Carter]

Can’t wait to see how Head handles this situation. Khawaja holding down his end.

 

[tigersnake]

FFS Greeny. chill out man

I’m just wondering, are players permitted to get drinks, advice and coaching when they are fielding near the boundary?

 

[marella jube]

Well played Kwahaja

Yes.

Ussie tons up. 15 100s in 62 Tests (Chappelli 14 in 75, Walters 15 in 74, Slater 14 - and 9 90s - in 74). Embarrassing the nongs (oh, hai, JL) who left him out in favour of hacks like Bancroft and Matthew Wade (batting at 5 ffs) for so long.

 

[marella jube]

Kwahaja & Carey have played well. Vital they make it to stumps & start afresh tomorrow
