Welcome back Psychle – Friday night for you lot, are you all on the Beer?
Aussies not learnt the DRS lessons from the 1st test then 😆
Stupid bloody review Watson! Bugger to lose that wicket at lunch, poor shot to play to the second last ball before the break - yet another solid dominant start from Watson that's not gone on with... he does this too often 🙁
😀
Contender for "Worst ball ever to take a wicket"? And our shocking use of the DRS continues, Watson to blame for Rogers not reviewing...
😆
Umpire reviews remaining Australia 0 (0 successful, 2 unsuccessful); England 2 (0 successful, 0 unsuccessful)
I expect Clarke is actually relieved that he doesn't have to make any DRS calls.
Sigh... Unlucky for Hughes, could of very easily been given not out by the on-field umpire, and I don't reckon it would've been overruled by DRS... Going back to Rogers, how on earth was that given out by Erasmus??
🙂 Yay
And on that note I'm off to bed, night all... Perhaps I'll dream of the days we had a top order that could actually score runs... 😥 Back when I were a lad 🙄
If Rogers' dismissal was that obviously not out, why didn't he review?
Oh and before I forget, Phil Hughes, Phil Hughes, dirt dirty cheater. Can't believe he didn't walk.
Calypso collapso!
😀
is that another?
86-5! Or, in [s]upside down[/s] Strine, 5-86.
Nasty reading whichever way you look at it!
Certainly is, i'm getting worried about my 4th and 5th day tickets at Old Trafford
Psychic - we've had your pain in the past, you can't really blame us for singing just now 🙂
Perhaps the aussies will send their guys in in reverse order next test? Or next inningis. Follow on?
Swann
Swann will tear you apart
Again
Follow on
More like follow through the way they're batting!
Oh dear.
Well that's the easy bit done. Will be a bit tougher now the proper batsmen are coming in.
What's the follow on score?
Well nearly time for bed here can they keep it up?
Mike, one word away from being an overshare there...! 😉
Cheers Captain, always been too lazy to find that out. 😀
I should imagine that even if they are able to, the chances of the follow on being enforced are extremely slim. With another 3 days to go and a good weather forecast, the correct tactic is surely to bat them out of the game and bring the bowlers back fresh.
Tour and test keep going guys
Just got back from a meeting.
<checks score>
LOLCATS!
Hope psychle enjoys his breakfast tomorrow morning 8)
deary me.
Hardly even worth watching the highlights, I'd say.
Id like to see them stretch this to an hour of tv 🙂
I'd like to see them stretch this to half an hour of tv
FTFY. 104-9!
😀
A perfect time to use an Australian phrase.. strewth their batting has been woeful!
.. goes off to throw another aussie on the barbi 😉
Right, just got in from the pub. wtf is going on? And who won the tdf?
And who won the tdf?
Not on this thread, please! Spoiler alert here is for cricket only!
OK, well, what's going on here. Have I been out so long I've missed an entire day?
i'm wondering how long losstralia will peddle the 'we are a settled side' 'the mood in the camp is positive' 'i back my batsmen to deliver a performance' 'we can win the ashes' etc etc and they face the reality that they are a side lacking in talent and application.
What happened here is: I have had two back to back meetings and missed the last 4 hours. Of course nothing would happen would it? I’m back now so expect at least another 100 for the last wicket.

Yeah, a week ago I missed most of their innings, up until seaweed man walked in...
\o/
Australia end their first innings with a lead of 19 over Ian Bell.
😀 @ CaptJon!
No follow on. Get in, get runs. Get lots of runs, quickly. Then, get after 'em tomorrow.
+1
can someone sharper than me explain why not making Oz follow on?
It's not like the pitch isnt doing anything.
