[Super_horns]

5th test in Hobart.

Apparently Shane Warne wasn't very keen on the idea!

[Guest Lako42]

Come on boys, let's try and make a stand here. 

 

I'm tired but staying up for a bit and just poured a whisky, don't make me regret it. 

[Nuge]

These Aussie commentators are so arrogant! BT sport have made a blunder here. 

[Guest Lako42]

Malan gone 

 

Lyon with his 400th

[goody2028]

Dicey start 

 

EDIT: and now Roots gone ffs

Here comes the collapse

 

[kingkisnorbo]

Changed the complexion totally now. 

[trabuch]

That was the smallest of nicks (on to TMS - I just can't stand these commentators)

I'm sorry but that was a ****ing awful way to go for root when it was massively needed for him to stay out there. 

 

Why are you getting involved in that ball in this circumstance, it wasn't anywhere near enough

It's pretty obvious what will happen tomorrow really...

 

Root and Malan will both miss out on a ton before lunch and then the Aussies will rip through our middle order with the new ball.

 

We might end up with a lead of about 80 but they'll easily chase it down without losing a wicket.

 

So boringly predictable.

In all probability  be right!

Night 

[kingkisnorbo]

Could be over before the second Aussie innings. Absolute bobbins. 

[trabuch]

Lyon is doing a bit better than Leech to say the least. Not going to be much more cricket in this match is there?

[Guest Lako42]

Last chance saloon 

[trabuch]

A bit brainless.

Much better day, and some fight and graft by the top order. 

 

But you can't trust this side. We can still collapse to lose by an inning with 58 left to get parity. 

 

It would be very surprising for the Aussies to have to chase anything more than double figures to win the test in the final inns 

 

So predictable.....

[deejdeej]

We're gonna be all out by the time BT have the feed back aren't we 

[trabuch]

We may not be able to play cricket very well. But at least we can do outside broadcasts.

[Guest Lako42]

**** we've not lost a wicket during that downtime 

[Guest Lako42]

Wtf is happening 

[goody2028]

Bt are so shite

They are, but the picture loss is down to those Aussies. TMS seems to be coping, but they've had to resort to Australian commentary - so not ideal!

****

Christ 

[trabuch]

I don't understand why we are playing at balls that are about 5ft over the stumps. (I mean that's easy for me to say - because I'm not facing 90mph deliveries - unless the are Pizzas on deliveroo). I need to sleep.
