Frankly, I'd prefer to watch a T20 series eh

It’s a nice change seeing the batters under the pump through quality bowling, rather than being under the pump because they keep slogging themselves out.

Starting to think extending myself to fourth and fifth day tickets at the Gabba may not have been a wise idea.

Khawaja is living a charmed life, surely there must be someone under the age of 35 somewhere in Sheffield Shield who could do no worse.

[Chris B.]

@Donsteppa Pretty thin record over the past couple of years. Not much beyond the double hundred vs SL.

[Chris B.]

Atkinson drops Green c&b chance - second miss I think (the missed runout).

[booboo]

5 down ...

[MN5]

Maybe 172 is an ok first innings score after all

[Cyclops]

Australia have only batted an over less, but have half the runs. They still have 4 wickets in hand but massive pressure on Carey now. Mitchell Starc will be pissed though. Is this his moment for a maiden test ton?

[MajorPom]

I'm back. Go England.

How many times have Australia cheated or moaned like buggery about something they would have done no question in the reverse circumstance?

[Donsteppa]

Dad's Army certainly haven't fronted with the bat tonight.

Bugger, fell just 88 runs short

[booboo]

So 121 for 7 ...

Every time I come back there's another wicket.

Where are these teams ranked in Test Cricket?

And why are we really worried about how ...

... oh 8 down ...

...two awful team go against each other who play each other every second week?

[Dodge]

Jesus, still 17 overs to go in the day, England could be all out twice!

Great post ...
9!

[booboo]

Out

[booboo]

@Dodge you must be delighted

At this rate Australia will bat for more than an hour today.

Maybe even more two hours? Not much more, though!

[booboo]

Seems Pomgolia in front here. End of day 1.

Can nobody bat in Test matches any more?

[MN5]

Lyon has never managed a 50 in 139 test matches. That’s not very good for a number 9.
