StanSP Posted 13 July 2013 Posted 13 July 2013 That was just about in line. Only just! What's the odds Agar doesn't even reach double figures this time around ?
Matt Posted 13 July 2013 Posted 13 July 2013 Get Agar out and it's curtains. (Hope i've not cursed it now)
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 13 July 2013 Posted 13 July 2013 I'm getting harassed by a homo......it's taking off the focus that we will be down 1 nil in the series
Guest ttfn Posted 13 July 2013 Posted 13 July 2013 It's starting to look more and more like this match will be settled by Cook using his reviews better than Clarke. Fine margins.
Corky Posted 13 July 2013 Posted 13 July 2013 How do you play a delivery like that though? Incredible.
I am Rod Hull Posted 13 July 2013 Posted 13 July 2013 I'm getting harassed by a homo......it's taking off the focus that we will be down 1 nil in the series Give him what he wants, it would be rude not to.
Bert Posted 13 July 2013 Posted 13 July 2013 Clutching defeat from jaws of victory? Looked quite calm, Australia, until those 2 in quick succession.Wouldn't say jaws of victory. They've only been dominant at one point in this test and that was the end of the first innings.
StanSP Posted 13 July 2013 Posted 13 July 2013 Wouldn't say jaws of victory. They've only been dominant at one point in this test and that was the end of the first innings. They looked comfortable, though. At that point there would have been no question about possibly continuing the extra 30mins. Now it's creeping in if a couple more wickets are taken before half six. Those partnerships up to 111 was looking alright.
ScouseFox Posted 13 July 2013 Posted 13 July 2013 Another great day. What a test this has been. Us wrapping it up tomorrow will top it off wonderfully.
Corky Posted 13 July 2013 Posted 13 July 2013 I like how Botham was wondering what sort of crowd there would be tomorrow. It was sold out well in advance wasn't it?
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 13 July 2013 Posted 13 July 2013 Was happy with the day until the last hour or so, can't see us winning but have seen stranger things. I'm walking around like a zombie at the moment it's 4am at the end of day 4 just praying my body clock gives me a sleep in tomorrow as i'm completely wrecked, i look like i've been beaten up my eyes are that dark.
Brainy Posted 13 July 2013 Posted 13 July 2013 Wouldn't say jaws of victory. They've only been dominant at one point in this test and that was the end of the first innings. The game has swung lots imo England looking good at lunch on D1 thinking they had got through the trickiest of the conditions Australia then bowling us for 213 England taking 5 quick wickets with Aus 117-9 Agar England recovering from a poor start to set a good victory target for Aus Aus looking comfortable at 160-3 before losing 5 quick wickets My pessimistic self says 137 isn't alot to get with Haddin and Agar at the crease but hopefully the pitch continues to be a handful
Bert Posted 13 July 2013 Posted 13 July 2013 The game up until this morning had never gone more than 55/45 in favour of anyone IMO. 75/25 in our favour now. We should be able to these off.
Voll Blau Posted 13 July 2013 Posted 13 July 2013 Think the Aussies are done for provided we get a wicket in the first 10 or so in the morning. If not, they'll get in the same mindset they had in the first innings.
theessexfox Posted 13 July 2013 Posted 13 July 2013 Been a top standard of interviews from the players this series - Pieterson, Agar, Starc and Clarke stand out.
Guest MattP Posted 13 July 2013 Posted 13 July 2013 Agree with everything posted. Bowling after tea was absolutely world class. Shoild wrap it up with a bit to spare. Wouldn't take the new ball either if it comes to it, keep scoring as hard as possible and let Swann go to work.
AKCJ Posted 13 July 2013 Posted 13 July 2013 I would be very annoyed if it we were to let it go. It's in England's hands and if they lose it now they need shooting. I agree with you MattP. Don't take the new ball if they look settled. But if we're getting them out sharpish then let Broad and Anderson have a blast.
Voll Blau Posted 14 July 2013 Posted 14 July 2013 Sounds like they're taking the game to us. Just what I feared.
