    @NTA I’ve gotta say I actually quite like Warne, M Waugh, Hussey, Gilly etc as commentators and presenters. Warne was full of genuine praise for the courage that Anderson showed while batting, M Waugh said Stokes was a better player than his record…..little things like that were a really nice touch, so much better than the “Australia is amazing and fuck everyone else” bullshit that Tubby, Slats, Healy and Nicholls ( urgh fuck I hate that slimy suck up ) used to indulge in.

    Still a bit of overly Bogan matey anecdotes from Warney sometimes….but it is Warney so it’s too be expected.

      @mn5 Ponting, Botham, Blewett, Fleming, Hayden, on free to air. It's insightful and to the point, as well as having the right degree of humour without the blokey shit.

      Supported by Alison Mitchell, James Brayshaw, and a couple of professional commentators and it is a better package.

        Actually that does sound potentially better. Beefy is always good value behind the mic. Not an option in NZ though I don’t think.

            Wow - England start on fire!

            Neser and Harris both removed within 15 balls of the resumption - then Buttler - having taken a great catch to get rid of Harris drops an easier one that should have had Smith walking back first ball. Second ball Smith survives an lbw review on an impact umpires call.

            So Buttler pissed on the fire a little bit...

              A bit later - and luckily for Buttler he fishes around in his pocket and finds a Little Lucifer Fire Starter - Robinson gloves Smith down the leg side and Buttler redeems himself taking a very good catch - Smith scored 6 in the meantime.

                      Ollie Robinson obviously reads the Fern and me in particular.

                      Having bowled a few overs of seam he's reinvented himself as an off spinner! (Exactly what I suggested more seamers should do earlier this year).

                        I wonder how many runs Oz think they need?

                        Warnie seemed to think they'd bat a little bit past tea, which would give them the option of two evening sessions with a new ball in hand - in case they'd need both. Seems reasonable.

                        On the other hand, that leaves less than 4 sessions for England to survive - which might just about be doable if they could survive the evening session relatively unscathed.

                            @higgins Highly unlikely.

                            But, this Aussie attack isn't as fearsome as the one that played in the first test, so if they somehow navigated tonight's session with minimal damage they'd be a chance.

                              Australia 173 for 6. Lead of over 400. Declaration must be coming soon.

                                      As if the slogging didn't already dictate that.

                                      If Starc is not fit it'll be a tough 5 sessions

                                        Richardson has a couple of swishes and goes - and Smith doesn't risk Lyon's fingers - declares and England will need 468 to win - or to bat 4 sessions and change to draw.

                                          England can’t rely on Root all the time, he’ll need some support if they’re ANY chance of drawing this even with a depleted Australian attack….and they’ve shown fuck all of that so far. If Root goes cheaply you can absolutely forget it.
