Story Freedom's Story Thread - Ashes - 3rd Test In Progress

Really struggling at the moment. Australia are 270/2 after my first innings score of 219. Warner and Marsh just out after a brilliant 200 runs partnership with both scoring 100 each. :(

2nd Test


So its been a hard 139 overs of bowling. Not even 1 over I was bored and thats how this game has been awesome. I was not able to pick up wickets bowling good or full length so I decided to bounce and have finally got Australia 8 down on Day 3 Lunch. The Australians already have 230 runs of lead I dont think I can win this but I will defend and defend and defend and will try my best to draw this. Hoping for quick two wickets in the post lunch session.

2nd Test


So after bowling 143.4 overs I finally bowled Australia out. I think it was a great thing after Warner & Marsh put up 200 runs partnership. Khawaja batted well and Starc's resilience helped Australia get a 247 runs lead. I meanwhile thought of coming out to bat and blast as defending wont help. I attacked from ball 1 and I knew if Cook got settled he would make Australian bowlers look like machine just bowling but no tooth to penetrate. In order to be aggressive I promoted Overton incase I lost a wicket. I lost Stoneman but thing kept flowing well with lots of runs scored and once I broke the morale of the bowlers I just could score runs so easily. Cummins was bowling well and he was the only bowler who looked threatening. So yes with ratings the morale does come into a actor. England leads by 4 runs so basically are 4/1 and I will continue to attack on Day 4 and will try to give a 250 runs target.

Hi Bro, can you please let me know which device are you using to record videos from xbox and which software for editing it?
I directly stream it to Twitch. I do not do any editing. I directly upload it to youtube and post it here. So for recording I can say the twitch app on X1
 
2nd Test


That's it! All over :( Cook, Overton & all my hard-work all down the drain in just one session. Started 250/1 and all out for 100 more runs. Starc, Cummins & Lyon just ripped the English batting apart. I am pretty sure Australia will win this match and chase down 100 runs for the 4th innings. Was in no mood after seeing the epic collapse hence final innings tomorrow.

2nd Test


Some beautiful wickets



It was not that bad. 105 was not enough to win the match but it showed that had I batted better on 4th day and gave them 200-250 runs total it would have been a match saving effort. Australia absolutely made a mess chasing the a simple 105 runs. I will definitely give a better fight in 3rd test as thats my last chance to save the Ashes or else Australia will regain the Ashes 2017.
