Firstly Head and Marsh will have to survive the first few overs. If you think 230 is getting there I would think again and be looking at 350 minimum which will be hard from here. Hopefully the pitch may deteriorate more than now which may make it hard for them.

With that forward line I can't see us scoring more than 50 points. They are not much better so get ready for the most constipated game of the year.

Agree. I would like to know what was going through Labuschagnes and Smiths head in playing those shots.

Well they evened it right up on middle session. Again Stokes but some of our bowling to their tail enders was not good. Too many short balls and not enough on the stumps. If Warner gets picked for the next test match I will go he. Bring Green in and put Head up to open.

Fair point. Also the opposition have worked out how to limit his impact on the game.

And yes a very good ton to Marsh. Entertaining.

Lets just make 300 first.

What are you smoking mate ? Can you give the selectors some as they need it.

Big time. I will be happy if we make 300 but I don't think so. Lets see what Marsh can do.

Yep. Khawaja and the unit are the ones we will rely on for big scores. Good to see Murphy as he is a good bowler. Wonder what [censored] the poms will carry on with in this test.

All I needed to read on a Friday night. I can still remember being at Waverly for that Fitzroy drubbing. Sweet dreams ladies.

Why is Melksham in the side. Simply amazing.

Just put Petty at chf and bring Tomlinson in.

And it was and the better team won.

Are we going to throw this like the game in Alice today. Stokes is a kiwi and Broad nothing more than a whinging pom. Green needs his head read.

Nope too many changes for the selectors. Wont happen.

A loss like that could be really emotionally draining for the players. How can you dominate a last quarter like that and lose. It really is mind bending.

Out Goodwin In Batfink. JVR in for fritta. Anymore changes might be too much for the selection comitee.

Disgusted.

At this stage I am going to have fluffy pups after watching this. We should be at least a minimum of 4 goals in front.

MFCSS here. This will be difficult to win.

Sure but now at 5 down at lunch a target of 400 is now what we should be aiming for and that means Carey and Green will have to play well. I still would want to bat after tea as well. Really more than 400 hundred is what we should be aiming for.

Exactly. In fact I think we should bat further than tea just to amass a higher score so the poms will try baz ball and get out playing silly shots.

103 lead on d3 with 10 wickets in hand. Would be great to get a lead of 500 before they bat again but maybe that is wishful thinking.

Why do I have such big doubts on BBB. It is like papering over a concrete pillar with wet newspaper.
