Stupid country imagine living in the shothole

60 plus overs is PLENTY for a result

Till it rains again

I'd counter that the Warney myopic might just blouse it

The Warnie programs could have waited 5-6 years at least.

Hawaiian Shirts on in 23 degree heat lol.

I got on the draw at $9, hoping for a result though and an Australian win, still plenty of time even with overs lost.

I saw Eddie Perfect's "Warnie" the musical.

It was all right. (Rodney Dangerfield voice)

 

[danstar]

Comedy gold watching the 1st over that went for 10 last night

 

[Jamurp]

I hope that Warnie TV show is delayed by rain.

Pure exploitation

As terrible as their weather may be there they still lose less days to rain there than Sydney does.

Is this the sort of match situation to employ this kind of AI generated tactic?

AI’s bizarre prediction for World Test Championship final

What happens if you ask artificial intelligence to predict the result of the 2023 World Test Championship final between Australia and India?

Big Green is the answer and Carey.
Uzzie still there but one or two need to make 50s at least.

Would be great if Boland hung around for 20 more runs,I have a bad feeling he will go out very quickly today,hope I'm wrong.

It’s a miracle they have brought lunch forward

Erasmus will be happy

Don't forget about the other umpire.

60 plus overs is PLENTY for a result

The conditions will be tricky but that amount of overs is perfect for the Aussies. Enough that 3 and over will get us home, but not too many in case we need to bail out and play for the draw.

C'mon channel 9, dig into the archives and show Australia's successful run chase at Edgbaston in 1972.

Whats the bet Sky sports in UK is showing Edgbaston 2005 right now

 

[kickazz]

So how are England going to play this? Two sessions - attacking fields, risking runs? Surely they will if it remains cloudy.

Otherwise they might set defensive fields and hope Aussies give their wickets away (which is how most have fallen on this pitch anyway)


Thoughts?

 

[smasha]

Ooh,HEAD still to come!,I feel much better.
I hope he makes a big innings after all the shit he has copped on the boundary,it would great for him to send them home losers.

 

[Bedi]

Least channel 9 have the good sense to replay the session that 90% of eastern states didn't see. The ball that went between keeper and first slip was a pisser.

 

[010203]

This could be Australia's first win batting last against England in England since the Trent Bridge test in the 2001 Ashes. Marnus hadn't moved to Australia by then and Stuart Broad was probably secretly annoying Australians as far back as 2001 too.

They showed the 1997 Edgbaston test during the rain delay on Saturday.

You have a strange obsession with everyone's weight.

Or 2 old codgers sitting opposite, staring at and abusing each other in a confected battle of the wits.

Sounds like the Muppet Show

of course they’ll come out attacking, how long that last s will depend on how successful or not it is.
