+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xlyon bowled beautifully so did cummins. Sadly they didnt get the reward starc had the ball talking but was very inaccurate What an Ashes Mike's punching bag.. Josh Hazlewood is having. When I hit the sack Root and Burns were in their comfort zone. I wake and Josh has taken 3/17 in his last 5over spell. Gone are those two and the sadly out of his depth Jason Roy. and the Pommies are now in deep doo doo. With some decent weather predicted for last two days.. Baggies are now in the box seat but England still have some big hitters to come and this deck has little life left for the quicks. Haven't seen much of Mike lately with Hazlewood on fire! He must feel embarrassed! LOL! Pom big hitters might be a threat yet. Here here KW. He is conspicuous by his absence. Enjoying the match mate? Perhaps a touch harsh on Starc. He did bowl more accurately than usual tho a touch short..spoilt only by two overs that leaked some 25 runs. He was also quicker than even Cummins. Hazlewood surprised with his pace too. Hit (90mph and averaged 87 all while maintaining his impeccable accuracy. Ricky Ponting said Cummins bowled without luck immediately after tea. He said he gave Burns and especially Root a real examination. With two days left and no more crap weather predicted the Aussies now have time to take the remaining wickets and wrap up the Ashes. So what will happen from here. Firstly we have to remove their big hitters in Stokes and Buttler asap. Those two can do serious damage and eat up valuable time. Then do we enforce the follow on? I say no as we wanna have last crack on this deck as it may suit the tweakers and we give them extra scoreboard pressure with a large total to chase or defend. Cday Bg, jaszyjim - Agree with you, no follow on just try & set an ungettable? score and have a go at them on a last day track Precisely JJ. Starc has rediscovered his in swinging yorker this morning. He actually looks dangerous again.

Great to see Starc bowl Broad with the pitched up delivery tailenders don’t like, cutting back into him, beating the bat and skittling the stumps.

Leach just played a nice off drive for 4 off Starc.
He can bat!

That LBW appeal from Starc looked out.
It was!
Aus has no replays left, when the replay showed it hit the leg stump with over half the ball!

That umpiring decision could be decisive.
The one that that Lyon got a batter out LBW in the last Test, and wasn’t awarded by the ump, could have resulted in Aus retaining The Ashes.

Thankfully, Cummins bowls Buttler with a 140kph thunderbolt that hits the top of off stump.
England all out for 309.
190 odd behind Aus.
That rotten umpiring decision won’t be decisive.

Didnt cost too many in the end If this was in Australia it would be the type of match situation where Warner would come out and make a run a ball hundred. Doesnt exactly have the form for it.

Michael Holding was just saying Archer does not have the strength for Test cricket to back up and bowl long spells.
He contends bowling 20 overs at County cricket level lacks the intensity of Test cricket. He claims that bowlers have far more adrenaline going through them, hence they feel far more fatigued playing a Test Cricket.

Same issues arise.
Warner bowled Broad!
Warner averages mid thirties overseas and mid fifties at home on Aus pitches.
Same old, same old.

And again Harris LBW.
Why do we have so many of our batters who are left handed?

those wickets are pretty important as even if we get to a declaration it will be a few overs later than we would like
if we are 2-80 at tea we probably throw the bat at the ball and get a declaration an hour before close
now we probably declare at stumps or give ourselves 4 overs tops

If you didn't know Smith was the best batsman in test cricket, you'd swear this is a tailender hoicing and getting lucky with all these tennis shots to short stuff...
Smith is basically saying to England - "you're not on my level"...
Reminds me of Tin Cup when Kevin Costner plays golf with gardening tools and beats the pro...

+xcummins gets a brace to end the day getting both root and burns Oz need 8 wickets in 98 overs barring rain to win the urn What a Test! When I went to bed last night England, under a rampant Broad and Archer, had taken 4 wickets for very few runs. Looking at Cricinfo Paine hammered them for a strike rate of 127 in scoring 27 odd runs NO. Smith must have scored quickly later in the innings , as did Wade for his 34. What bothers me at the end of this series, Australia have huge batting issues, particularly abroad, that won't be resolved as we play on home pitches where the likes of Warner and Usman usually play much better on pitches that are unfamiliar to touring teams. Many mediocre Aus pace bowlers will take Shield wickets, who are essentially innocuous at Test level. Spinners will play on pitches that don't develop spinners' skill sets in the Shield. Same old, same old. ATM Aus has one of its greatest attacks of all time, even with Lyon out of form. Notwithstanding, apart from Smith, it is possibly the worst batting line up we've ever had in the top 6, particularly overseas. The next series abroad will not be able to be viewed on free to air TV, so most won't view how inadequate we are on foreign shores. Hence, out of sight out of mind. Now Afghanistan are playing Test cricket it will add a 5th opponent on Asian pitches, we are one of the worst performed teams in the world.
