stoinis gone for a duck

need maxwell here gee

Now Stoinis out LBW for a second ball duck. Can’t he pick a googly from Rashid? 

we have to bat the 50 and make at least 250

wish we had mitch marsh for stoinis

Good day, Grazor. 

250 seems a long way off with 5 batting wickets down. 

250 might well do it tbh

Stoinis’ average for his batting  must have been awful for this WC. 

maxwell has to dig in here

he wouldnt have trained much for this situation

nervous times

Everything you fantasize about doing to us Aussies is not far away, TP! 

maxwell survives

well done, 4 more spin overs

archer on
maxwell struggled against quick short ones when the ball is newish

well he's not leaving short ones alone

pulled to the boundary

Maxwell executed on decent pull off Archer that was controlled enough to speed over the ground for 4. 

actually he ducked a short one that was outside off. Good sign but 2 edges and a near edge at the start of maxwells innings

maxwell hits rashid for 6

showing intent, I hope its the right play

I like the look of wrist spinner Rashid for the Ashes. 

I love watching wristies bowl. 

Good reaching, lofted on drive for 6 by Maxwell. 

survived another rashid over

he has 3 left joffra has 4

As usual. 

Maxwell can really strike a ball though. 

he has batted well in tough conditions before in test

but here he has probably trained to go on the attack so its hard to adjust

survived another joffra over

perhaps his last before the death

hit for 2 against the spin

maxwell attacking rashid here, key moment. Hope he survives

Maxwell really cracked that long hop off the back foot for 4! 

that was a long hope, put away for four

He is bowling again! 

survived, more thrived, off another rashid over
152 up

need to survive as long as we can

joffra on for 1 more. Need to survive

could be joy late

Maxwell gone jsut as he was settling. Needed to just see our the last two archer deliveries out. 

maxwell spoons a ball to cover

cummins can survive a bit too. Fingers crossed we make 250ish

still a pretty good innings in the circumstances from maxwell

wish we got a 20 odd from stoinis, could of been decisive

250? I’ll take 200 tbh
