Gav Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) Booooom! Who got Warner? One 1 guess allowed 🤣 Edited July 7, 2023 by Gav 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianrally Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Maybe that’s the end of Warner as a test player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoverDom Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 As Warner was walking off my 10 month old looked up from bashing her various toys together and said "ta ta" and started waving at him 🤣. I think if she could have said "piss off you aussie prick" she would have 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norbert Rassragr Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 More idiotic batting from England by the looks of the score. All this game needs is Smith or Kawaja to have a good day and we are knackered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewood Ace Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Steve Waugh used to talk about mental disintegration. Well we've certainly seen that from Warner whenever Broad is bowling and the whole Aussie team when Stokes is at the crease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim mk2 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 250 will be too much for England to chase Need to knock them over for less than 200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim mk2 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) Already 80 ahead (thank you Jonny and Joe), 9 wickets needed in 120 runs. Edited July 7, 2023 by jim mk2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) Well, what an exhilarating afternoon! I remember when test matches were almost always like this, then you draw 😂 I can't see this being a draw though 😞(edit) the weather may well intervene and force a draw.

Ewood Ace Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Another drop from Bairstow but thankfully not an expensive one this time. Bairstow's performance with the gloves this series has been embarrassing he cannot continue with them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to make a big score in the 2nd innings to repay the runs debt Eight wickets in 95 runs needed to keep the target at a reasonable 250.

Anything more and it's goodnight This England team has rarely (if ever) failed to get 250 when chasing in the fourth innings, even when they have lost. Its irrelevant what we got in the first innings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
