1st Ashes Test England v Australia June 16-20 1930hrs @ Edgbaston

[Kappa]

If they take the single, I think Boland could have done enough gardening to see through time.

Oh well job still done. Boland may as well go T20 this over

Why? runs from the tail could be crucial. Boland getting a 20 or 25 could be the difference, only 170 runs left.

 

[Peter Bixley]

How have they hot this ball swinging?

 

[Shueygod]

Scotty is actually killing it, huge bonus runs here.

 

[Moonwatcher]

13 runs. It's like having 2 Labs in the side.

Cracking 4! Gliding it through slips. Look at the soft hands on the Night Crow.

Gonna be a cracking day tomorrow

Great work boland done your job

 

[Plugger35]

Broady all over Boland here and he picks up 4 runs.

 

[hawkman]

Apparently Steve smith is supremely s**t in the 4th innings

Averages 28

Great work boland done your job

He's not finished yet

He can barely stand. That took a lot out of him.

Broad is lucky Boland didn't tee off on him.

 

[ams4crows]

Boland survives more than bloody Smith or Labs

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Averages 28

That’s dire I wonder why

 

[Doggy]

No chance we score another 174 when suddenly it's not a road... useless not being able to bowl out their tail

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Still essentially a 50/50 game.

Bit disappointing that we didn’t get in a better position going into tomorrow after a good opening stand.

Khawaja carrying us again. Batted all 5 days

 

[Interceptor]

Well done by Boland.
Hopefully he can hang around for quite a while tomorrow, but nightwatchmen are often out early the next day.

Probably goes without saying, but Khawaja needs to go on to a century to get the win.

 

[Peter Bixley]

He can barely stand. That took a lot out of him.

They need three bowlers to do the job. Boland should be as obdurate as possible tomorrow. Anderson, Broad and Fatso cannot stay on all day. When the change bowlers come on, we need to make hay.

 

[Plugger35]

Another great day of test cricket,

Day 5 should be another ripper weather permitting.

Broad was the only one consistently swinging it or in fact bowling menacingly. They'll need him to do it many more overs and get a lot more help.

Pitch seems in fine shape.

Batted all 5 days LOL. Poor bloke will be cooked in the legs after this

 

[RandB]

I hope Boland doesn't throw away his wicket too easily tomorrow. He could eek out another 20 odd valuable runs.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Great work boland done your job

Yep crucial runs and probably prefer to see him get them in this way instead of needing a cameo late in the game tomorrow batting at 10....

 

[greyhound punter]

Bit of a counter attack at the end by boland....valuable runs

It's the overhead that I worry about. And history. We've been here so many times in the past and come up short. It has that awful feel about it again.
