TBH lads. There's a run there if they don't hesitate. Crawley baulked a little and Burns was hesitant. Had Burns gone from the outset he would've made it comfortably IMHO.

Would be embarrassing if Boland would score 20 or 30 odd

He is already nearing double figures

Boland gone….for 8……phew

6/63 . Surely not.

Awful no ball decision on Carey.

Er, no....only question is which bowler will get 100 first

England get a review correct.

Finally exciting and competitive cricket

130-8...lead by 245

The game is now....chasing 250/260 its game on....beyond that, hmmm....can they get the last two for not many???

18 runs off the final two overs before the lunch/dinner break.

256 ahead, 2 wickets left.

155 all out...271 to win. Burns 140 not out anyone??

LOLOLOLOL

150 run defeat for England coming up.

Well, bowlers have done their job again.

Over to you batters. Let’s see if.you do actually have some bollocks

Spicy pitch, overcast, lights on - it doesn't bode well !

It’s not simply about ‘having bollocks’ though, is it? Plenty of brave men & women can’t bat. It’s about being able to score 270 in a 4th innings of a Test match in Australia.

I actually do not care if we lose providing we make a good fist of chasing down what is a difficult target. Will mean we come away with whatever little pride remains still intact.

Pride? :supergrin:

Which takes bollocks, or mental fortitude shall we say.

As they are international cricketers, we can pretty much say they are, or should be, capable of scoring 270 runs.

Scoring 270 runs batting last in a Ashes test, is as much in the head as it is in the hands

Fair point
