Excellent bowling display by Hazlewood, ably supported by Lyon and Cummings on perhaps the wicket at its best for batting. It's already turning though and batting won't be so easy on days 4 and 5.

    I fell asleep after tea and missed it. Glad the break through finally came. I wonder if we will enforce the follow on if the situation arose, still another 98 runs to get and 5 wickets left. Not totally out of the question, but i think they tend not to these days. Lets hope for an early wicket and Smith get a quick century!

    Should we open the batting with Smith in our 2nd innings?  ha ha!

    He's seeing it like a beachball anyway and we want another century from Smith just because we want another century yeah?

    As long as the rain stays away we should be able to force a victory Wadda.

    If England were to score 300 they'd still be 200 behind.  And if we bat again there won't be any generous declaration.

    ... and they get 301.

    Here's the next possible chapter ... we set them 385 and we bowl 8 overs at them tonight. 

    Edit:  Forgot to factor in the time being made up for the rain delays.  Regardless,  we'll be wanting to score at 4 an over once our batting gets going.

    And we'll want to have a dash at their batting tonight as well.  1 or 2 wickets being the aim.

    Another zero for Warner.  He's at the crossroads now.  Confidence is shot.

    Still,  it's all about the team so we need to get about 200 odd in this innings as soon as we can.

    Dont think i can ever remember 1 bowler having the wood over a batsman as many times as Broad has over Warner. Its quite incredible. Flat pitch and no pressure..... 0.

    None of it matters if we win the Ashes

    Warner will either get another chance or he won't.  What is most important is to win this match.

    Right now,  I couldn't care less about Warner's future.  There's plenty who can replace him anyway.

    It's not like footy where the replacements are often as useless as the players making way.

    6 batting spots only with numerous candidates vying for 1 spot.

    Well,  my focus is primarily for the team to win.  Individuals come and go and to be perfectly honest,  I often see them as expendable and as commodities.

    So it's next up and get the runs up so we can declare.  Harris,  Head & Wade aren't contributing either so it's nothing personal. 

    This is like watching Melbourne play in a GF for me.  Nothing short of a win counts.

    Im still pretty confident. Broad is easily their best and will always pick up a few wickets.......we are now effectively 2/ 212.

    Enter the maestro.

    Not far off opening the batting going in after 6.2 overs.  Smith is no commodity and he is certainly not expendable!!

    Once again our 2 best batsmen are at the crease.  Quite a meteoric rise for Kid Charlemagne but he's a real fighter.

    Most concerned!

    It's like watching our forward line in action.  Except if Smith was in our forward line he'd dominate!

    That accident last week in the F2 was just incredible. Ive been to Spa and that part of the track is exceptionally fast. Very sad.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
