Rodders Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 rain spotted... hmm chance of a vital early finish. Not that hameed cares as he wildly chips out. 2 down. Assuming rain doesn't end it, very much into the tail by close of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imavillan Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Awful cricket from England just as bad as the Aussie commentary that I’m having to put up with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted December 17, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 17, 2021 If this rain can continue for a couple of weeks and we can spend that time having England fans cough at the Aussies, we could snatch something out of the final test against the Australian under 16 second string.

Rodders Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 play stopped, probable close of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Predictably shit. 5-0 whitewash incoming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I hope the Aussies smash us. Maybe then the power that be will do something about the appalling state of red ball cricket in this country. Our openers are dreck. Our only top quality batsman is Root and he's a shit captain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted December 17, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2021 It's men against boys unfortunately. Except in some areas where its men against old men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted December 18, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 18, 2021 If I were them I'd put us in again. They can rest up overnight and if they take wickets this morning then they could have it mopped up by tea tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 not enforcing the follow on. Aus 60/0 by the close then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted December 18, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2021 So Buttler puts down a number of catches you would expect a specialist wicket keeper to take then scores nil with the bat. It was always going to be a difficult job but the selection had been a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 LOL - what a shambles. 4 'batsmen' scoring less than 10 again. Only Malan and Root know how to hold a bat at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted December 19, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 19, 2021 So England will just need to bat out four and a half sessions for the draw? We've got em right where we want em chaps! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Lasted 11 balls before wicket 1 fell... definitely finishing today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only2McInallys Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Well that’s it for this test unless Stokes can provide some magic. For me avoiding a 5-0 would be some kind of victory.That’s how bad things are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
