Dec 16-20: 3rd Test - Australia v England at Perth

[Roofrom50]

Anderson is looking for a miracle here. He's shouting for every opportunity.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Bleh, I don't like this half-ball, 'umpires call' thing.


311/4. England are going to need a massive 4th innings.

Surely it's worth giving Swann a go now?

 

[McLOVIN]

Can this kid play with a straight bat? He shouldn't be trying to work it away, when he can't even hold a bat. Haddin should be there with Hussey. If Hussey gets out now, Haddin will have to deal with the tails

Yup, it's worth giving him a go. Because he's finally got the chance. Should of been brought on 20 overs ago

As soon as it hits 350, I'd say its over for England

 

[McLOVIN]

lol, even if they collapse now, 350 will come around.

I guess Eng will have to pull a AB, JP magic inform of ? (KP-Bell? Would love to see that)

 

[angryangy]

Looks like reverse swing has come into it.

 

[Roofrom50]

What would be the right score to declare on. As we saw with South Africa, 400 can be chased down here. This pitch is a batsman pitch and there is still 2-1/2 days to go. Would 400-450 be the way to go again?

There's so much time, I'd say just bat until there's no batting left.

 

[McLOVIN]

Over 2 days left, Aus should look to bat out as long as they can, get around 500+. Good thing is that it wont be a subcon. like test; teams starting day 4, looming a draw. There will be no draw here.

McLOVIN added 1 Minutes and 50 Seconds later...

What do you think of that in Cricket for review?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

450 would be sound, yea.


Slipping away from England. They've had some bad luck, but the bowlers are losing focus and not building pressure. Must be tired. Strauss's fields are coming under first too...

Nah I think they should leave the challenges up to the players and not the coaches. Cricket is one of those weird sports where the coach actually has little to no influence during game time.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Finally.


Only Haddin and Johnson to go...

 

[pcfan123]

So did Smith do the job? should he be dropped? or is he just going to ride the coattails of other peoples performances into another selection? I think he should be dropped like a hot potato

One of these days I wanna see a coach run down there to yell at the umpire.

I remember Jamie Siddions walked into the match-referee's during Eng tour of Bd, and he got fined for that. Puss stuff.

And I hate how the umpires try to break it down, when the players starts sledging. Let the fans ENJOY the game!
