The Ashes Tour 2015

[MickeyD]

Thought they would enforce it myself... Nip out 2 or 3 tonight and England would be deep in the dwang.

 

[WaxLyrical]

Overnight declaration I think. Got more than enough.

Aus 239/2

Lead by 493


Looking for 500?

Aus finally declared... let's see how the pommies do

509 to win ... nice weather, so I don't foresee any rain delays in the next day and a bit.

 

[Creag]

This will be a huge ask. If the Poms apply themselves, they have the time to do it.

Time to chase? No way they go after that. They're far too conservative.

 

[Creag]

48 for 4 and in heaps of trouble now.

One could almost say that it playing for a draw gets them into a mess. Bell wasn't a happy camper playing conservative. It got him out in the end.

 

[Creag]

How about that run out?! Stokes gone!

Bat and foot over the line... but all in the air. Schoolboy error!

Marsh to Root, OUT, firmly clipped into the leg-side, and what has happened here?! Uh oh ... Stokes failed to run his bat in! A quick single from Root, Johnson pounced and flung, and, well, Stokes' foot was in the air, hovering over the crease as the bails were obliterated!

BA Stokes run out 0 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

That should make a great photograph, if someone snapped that.

 

[MickeyD]

And I'm missing it thanks to Eskom!

 

[SlowInternet]

I love it.

England 64/6

 

[Creag]

Have England given this up already? The way they are playing seems to indicate this.

 

[Creag]

And I'm missing it thanks to Eskom!

Sorry squire

 

[SlowInternet]

64/7

 

[Creag]

Johnson gets 2 in the over. Bowling with venom and fire. Short ball is doing the trick. Ali gone and the end is nigh.

 

[MickeyD]

 

[R13...]

As soon as Cook n Stokes went you knew the English were in trouble

 

[Wall]

hahahahaha

 

[SlowInternet]

The Aussies must finish them off. I have a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue on this game.
