50% England 49% Aussies 1% Draw

SWMBO has just suggested that playing a ball game when you can't catch is a bit daft 😲

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.

So 27 between Broad and Anderson, I wonder out of how many innings?

Anderson 10 I think

Broad gets him every time 👍

They always have one or two to play them out of a rut, collapses are relatively rare. England on the other hand ....

Game over 0-3 Aussies batting again today.

Ironically bazball is the only thing that's got us close twice.

If only

It's bazball!

No chance of winning any! 😂 Terrible shot from Duckett 😲

Brilliant from Woods! An hour and half to bat, can we bat through? Doubtful.

It's taken them hours to warm up

Marsh giving bazball a go

In the series so far Bairstow has converted just 9 of 16 chances behind the wicket

Bairstow drops yet another

It was a chance without doubt, TMS certainly thought so

Bairstow drops another! I wonder how much his performance in the first two tests contributed to our defeats?

I agree with everything except the whitewash, I suspect only the rain can prevent a loss. 🤞

Sorry Matty I hadn't looked who's post I was answering and wouldn't have bothered had I known it was you. 🤠

Ha, ha, are you serious? This Aussie team are, Root excepted, man for man much better than England. I'm amazed we have got close to them twice. It's the worst bowling attack in 50+ years.

Thanks for today, as they say it's good to talk. I'll miss the bazball tomorrow as.i volunteered us to help with a community project for the day. Physical work outside in the pissing rain at our ages is madness but someone has to do it and younger folk CBA There are some really good interviews and articles on both sides of the bazball discussion on the BBC website. Interesting times for test cricket, who'd a thunk?

😄 I guess I've been called worse, not sure.

This English team have absolutely no chance of beating Australia in the conventional way.
