Cricket: International Discussion Thread

It would be good if we could put in a pop-up poll inside the thread to see which way we're all leaning on this match. 281 is possible weather permitting. But a crucial wicket or two will put the wobbles into the best of sides. Regardless, I am looking forward to day 5.

Yeah, seems the weather is not playing well. Still no play on day 5.

Agreed. 98 to go, 5 wickets left. Going to be a good last couple of sessions.

Yes, but Aus lost a night watchman wicket. So I'd say 5.5 wickets left

Going with Aus at the moment , but 2 quick wickets , and it is England's game

Or it can end in a draw if no one does anything. This is how test cricket should be. 5 days and a nail biter at the end.

hmm Aus need to score under 2.6 runs to the over to make it a draw.

Wicket... I think a draw is unlikely here but yeah nail biter.

Supporting Khawaja and Root. The rest of them are ****s.

Same here. I could not care less who wins. But there are a lot of players in both teams I do not like. Khawaja is a very decent downright to earth player.

 

[sensus communis]

now it is England for the win

Yeah. That wicket is huge

Don't like Stokes , but he produce when needed

Catching going to cost England. Proper test match this though…

 

[sand_man]

And as I type that Root holds on to one, 3rd time lucky! What’s Carey doing?

That was a decent grab. Third time lucky and Aus are on the way down now

Aussies are given it away now. Wonder if Steve Smith will start crying.

If he does cry, 1 ply toilet paper or twin saver tissues won’t help, to thin not enough grit, 3M 40 grit course could help.
