I can assure you..... we could

The series has been quite incredible DJ ... packed full of drama.  Just enough in the tracks to help the bowling but the good batsmen can still score centuries anyway. 

Test cricket is at its best when the bowling is slightly favoured.  A century therefore scored by any individual is hard earned and often memorable. 

I cannot get enough of it.

Archer seems a bit sharper tonight.  We'll need to keep him out but Broad is bowling really well too.

We do the hard yards and then Zeus sends down the lightning bolts

And there's another

Now wtf was going on there? Head was giving it to Archer and sledging him......Lost concentration? Archer sure gave him a send off.

Jeepers that was quick.

Don't poke the bear hey?

Apart from all that,  Head isn't exactly the world's best batsman.  Deserved a send-off.

I just think if your sledging your not concentrating...i reckon he knows it too, judging by those dressing room shots

 

Barring rain we're going to see a result you'd imagine.  Still the equivalent of 5 sessions left with the time made up for the rain delays.

Interesting watching the odds change.....England were 40+/1....now theyre into 8.50..


Our Steve Smith has to hang tough here.

We need to counter attack here ... how you do that is anyone's guess.  But it's no good poking about against this quality bowling.

Got to hand it to them to come out fighting like that on a dead track. Not sure why they didnt do that in the first innings? The wind? Surely not downhill skiers.....

Just get the shine off the ball i guess...

600 runs for Smith this series. Amazing.

if Warner is going to hand over his wicket like that (double zeros this test) what can be expected of the remainder

200 is the target ... any idea of today's remaining overs/time

Interesting comparison ...

Mark Taylor scored 839 runs in the 1989 Ashes series in England.  6 Tests it must be said.

And Taylor was only in his 2nd year of playing Test cricket.

259/4 at tea. You would take that i guess. Lyon needs to lift his game in the last innings...seriously.

When you look at it i guess Smiths got 600 in basically 2 games (4 innings) God knows if he had 12 innings what he would get.......amazing

The mid 70's were outstanding as well.  Others can go back further to the Benaud days.

Greg Chappell was still the best batsman to watch in my book and played against much better bowling attacks.  Smith is incredibly effective but so were Border & Steve Waugh.  Ponting was brilliant

It's unfair to split the 5 though.  They were all great.  And then there's Bradman.  And Harvey.  Victor Trumper?  Ponsford?

We could sure do with Taylor opening the innings atm. I cant remember consistently low opening partnerships as these...

Well I thought 359 was enough of a lead in the last test but it wasn't.  It's very difficult to do any projections in this series.

Expect the unexpected is what we can expect.  Along the lines of that known unknowns business Wadda.

The Thommo Lillee days were big but that Ashes series marked the start of perhaps what was the longest period of sustained domination by any team in cricketing history.

India have come close but at best they matched us,

Hard to compare earlier eras as they played comparatively few tests.

Indeed it is Macca.....

Theyre talking declarations on the tele.......gee youd be game. If Lyon was bowling a storm yes...but hes not.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
