    The Sun are indeed one of the worst!

    Wasnt there a similar bit of news that broke before another game recently? The timing is amazing

        @mn5 can't read either?

        Dunno, looks a bunch of rubbish about a network of players around the world fixing spot-betting situations. It's not so much match results, as fall of wicket/number of runs, that kind of rubbish.

        Apparently, The Sun has done an investigation, and handed over their info to "cricket chiefs".

        The article is very short on detail, but very big on boastful Indians.

                Fuck Mitch Marsh for dropping that easy catch

                Fuck Cameron Bancroft for dropping another fairly simple catch

                Fuck Shaun Marsh because... Well because he's there. Fuck him.

                    Great fight by Stoneman, Malan and Bairstow today really setting England up for a draw at worst. Weather for days 4 and 5 is reportedly dodgy so they may miss a classic victory here.

                    Fuck Marsh(es).

                      What surprised me was how short Oz bowled when the common wisdom is pitch it up.

                      Total wasted effort. I only saw the last session but I don't think I saw one they dug in cause any trouble for the batsman - and as for the review - fucking muppets

                      Mind you apart from the first over with the second new ball Malan and Bairstow looked totally untroubled.

                        @dogmeat the short stuff worked Stoneman over nicely, and then Mitchell "Fucking" Marsh dropped him. Malan was taking it on and not always executing cleanly. It wasn't a bad tactic considering a lot of the full stuff was disappearing to the fence.

                        Keeping it full on that pitch, with a wearing ball, was a recipe for getting driven repeatedly. With the new ball we had another chance put down, then a bunch of streaky edges through slip. None of the LBWs were sticking because of height.

                        That review was, again, fucking stupid.

                        The execution could have been better, but there was a lot to like about the short ball work in the middle of the day.

                            That review this morning was disgraceful, and just reeked of desperation. Not sure you can blame Starc, he didn't look overly convinced. Someone must have been, despite an awful lot of stumps showing. Very poor cricket.

                              Handscomb does more as sub fielder than Mitch Marsh will this entire game.

                                Might get away with under 420 if we can keep up some pressure on the tail

                                  solid collapse, 420 would be overs from here

                                    This England team have such a weak lower order.

                                    And a weak top order.

                                    Thus will probably be their highest score of the series.

                                    Bowling round the wicket from ball one at number 11's body is not on though IMO, no matter how much bad blood there is between Anderson and the Aussies.

                                        Crying crocodile tears over Phil Hughes death, pledging behaviour had to change and then quickly reverting to type is also the Australian way it seems.

                                        I don't really have an issue with the behaviour at all but every so often I sniff a whiff of hypocrisy from all involved

                                          @virgil I understand the wicket taking reasons for bouncing tail enders and all teams do that.

                                          Perhaps it hollows the sentiments all teams proclaimed at the time following the Phil Hughes tragedy though in my opinion.
