Mr Henry just stuffed Stoinis with a cherry pie 🥧

[Chris B.]

This is starting to look quite promising!!!

[canefan]

5-44 Australia. We have just opened the door a sliver. Aussie still in the drivers seat

Ach...just realised I'm still a couple of minutes behind.

Caught up now

[booboo]

So batters as far as No.8 and Starc's padding up (in the 14th over)?

Not counting chookens but that gives me warm fuzzies.

I'll take it while I can.

[No Quarter]

Been busy this evening so only just turned it on to see the Stoinis wicket. We only have a modest total and Aus have plenty of batting still, but we've done well to get back into the game.

[canefan]

Bracewell? Are we trying to let these suckers back into the game?! 2 wickets and its basically over. Who does Lachie have to blow to get a bowl?

[MajorPom]

God it sucks knowing that having the Aussies at 44/5 means this game is still far from over.

[booboo]

Close... but in ...

[canefan]

We have to bowl them out. I don't know what the hell we are playing at. Far too conservative

[NTA]

You guys are kidding yourselves

I know right? It's Aussie's game to lose

I know. You fuckers are still favourites. Fuck you.

What is the fascination with Bracewell? I just don't see the attraction. Bloody journeyman at best

[MN5]

If this thread doesn’t get @Virgil out of hibernation nothing will

[Donsteppa]

Without M. Bracewell we'd have lost both an historic first game and an historic first series to Ireland in 2022 in cricket as well as in rugby... I think some of you are channeling your appreciation for D. Bracewell for this one

[KiwiMurph]

3 overs of Bracewell might be enough

Yep, to be fair I'd be bowling Neesham at this stage instead of a second spinner, but Bracewell's still not a bad selection

And Lochie nearly gets an inside edge onto the stumps, that instead scuttles away for four.

[canefan]

I can't relax right now. These two look far too comfortable. Bring Boult on to try and finish these guys off. This is starting to feel like the English tour again
