Little did we know that our first dig of 179 would be almost 3 times greater than the Poms could muster....

I thought a lot of it was downright deplorable batting against good, accurate bowling backed up by excellent catching. Didnt see too many jaffa's, although I did like the one from Patto that tailed away late. Real swing, haven't seen that from an Australian right arm bowler for a while. I'd want at least another 50 to feel confident - can't see the poms playing the same get out shots in the second dig.

England is rattled by consistent fast bowling, never knowing what's coming next. Our batting is nothing to write home about, but theirs is vulnerable in the extreme.

Ben Stokes. A blistering 2 off 50 balls ..
But we needed those additional runs to our overnight score.

We should win easily but the Poms have dug in and we miss that 5th bowler...

He's making Chris Tavare look fast
But yep, agree. An early wicket will hurt them immensely.
Re: Ashes 2019 - LP - 08-25-2019
The Poms are gambling on the pitch improving for batting as each day passes, it's a possibility at this venue as it's happened before that the highest scores come in the 4th innings.
In reality, we wasted the ball a bit yesterday, bowlers excluding Hazelwood got their line and lengths wrong, I'm not sure why they wanted to change anything form the 2nd innings.
Also I think Paine showed a lack of experience, he tried to have a bit each way in terms of field setting and tactics, some attack with some scoreline defending. We could easily had two or three more wickets if we'd not had half/half field settings. In fairness to Paine, the bowlers were a bit off which didn't make things any easier.
Re: Ashes 2019 - Professer E - 08-25-2019
We tend to bowl a touch short and get carried away when it flies. The lad who got injured (Richardson?) would have been a real handful on this deck with his skiddy pace and fuller length. Need to err on the fuller side.
Re: Ashes 2019 - LP - 08-25-2019
More poo~!
Waisting the new ball, not applying any pressure, we are defending it's madness!

How weak and humiliating is Australian test cricket. P1ss f@cking weak. What a joke. Take off the baggy green. You don’t deserve it. Pfft. Useless flogs.
