longboard Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Aussie journalist predicts they will win in three days.

longboard Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 With regard to the Lord's pitch, it was reported but not widely that the ground staff were legged up by the poor weather and low seasonal temperatures prior to the test. It ended up with a situation where losing the toss was decisive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marklaspalmas Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Australia's morning that. Two utter snorters from Johnson. Lead will be nearer 100 than 200. https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Australia's morning that. Two utter snorters from Johnson. Lead will be nearer 100 than 200. 100 lead now, but with Root gone, I don't know how much the tail will add. But in this match, who knows what will happen next?

chuffer Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 281 all out....could have done with a bit more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim2 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Bairstow's not up to it at the top level. I wonder what Taylor has done to avoid being picked? I'd have preferred a 200 lead so they'll have to bowl well again. "I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world.

gingerjon Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Aussies scoring quickly. 50-1 now so less than 100 behind. Rapid fire Test cricket ... Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Bedford Roughyed Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Super Fin! With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim2 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Bad news about Jimmy. He could be the difference at Trent Bridge and if we go there 2-1 up we could actually wrap it up before The Oval. Delighted for Steven Finn - we need someone with a bit of pace and bounce and he's done well to come back from where he was 18 months ago. Picking him for the one day team has been a great move by the selectors. "I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world.
