WTC and Ashes 2023

[Sword of Justice]

Really keeping the door slightly ajar for India aren't we.

I think we'll want minimum 450 to be sure of only 2 results but not sure we'll get that. Balance of time also critical. Australia seem to find themselves at this head scratching point quite often and India have capitalised before. But I think we'll win.

I’m sure he’s pretty hard on himself but I hope just because he’s the Captain he’s not immune to getting a spray about 2 nb wickets. Can’t be doing that shit.

Battle to 400. This isn’t in India. I have to keep telling myself that.

Yeah I wonder where this has come from. He's been a choir boy for so long and now he's punting the ball in frustration, and duly so after some pretty unreliable stuff.

All of our bowlers are still producing absolute peaches on occasion but we'll need to tighten up massively for England in their own conditions.

Sloppy stuff from the boys yesterday. It was uncharacteristically undisciplined and can't be repeated if we want to win the test. India are a very good side and you don't want to give them a sniff.

Just bat sensibly today, build a lead of 400, bowl the same areas and FFS hang on to your catches. We lost a series against India off the back of dropping bulk chances in the Sydney test.

Agreed. Don't want a repeat of Gabba test in 2021...

What’s the go with a draw in this match? We qualified no.1 right? Do we win the whole thing if it’s a draw?

Unfortunately it would be shared.

Unfortunately it would be shared.

But there is a reserve day for weather.

Well that’s shit. Should be a 6 day Test

Both are going to go for it which is good.

I believe it is to safeguard against this:

But to be fair, QLD actually won that match.

 

[Sword of Justice]

Surely now is the time to declare but they aren't even kitted up for warmups.

 

[kiap]

Yeah. Wouldn't be the first time they haven't given themselves enough time...

 

[kiap]

Finally!

Whatacatch for Green

 

[Sword of Justice]

India probably would have chosen these two to try and bat them out of the hole they are in, despite recent form.

I can't quite believe this match is so open. At least it has been entertaining. Australia has a lot to tighten up and may need some of the overcast conditions forecast tomorrow.

 

[Stagnation]

What’s with all this bullshit about green cheating? Was definitely out

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Why would you ever listen to Marnus. He’s insane. Carey had no interest

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Far out Boland could have had 4 in that over. His ability to get them in lots is unbelievable.
