slack running from Khawaja there... easy single off the thigh pad

Commentators legitimately questioning whether we'll play for a draw here.

Uh... The ****?

 

[troybe]

target 309. 400 lead.

 

[Kappa]

We have a 100 run lead with 10 wickets in hand and we'd be "happy with a draw"

 

[Iceman!]

Are these two commentators on crack?

Up 91 after the first innings and talking about whether we would go for a win... They get paid for this shit

 

[Persoog]

We finally get High Def coverage in Perth. And then we have to put up with KP....

KP earning his commentary wage today

Wasn't even his call. Wake up koala

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Bat em into the ground lads

 

[ptrg]

KP deep down praying we are batting for the draw first session day 3..

he’s absolutely delusional

 

[Peter Bixley]

These lads need to bat well. The bowlers really bent their backs to put us in this incredible position. Give them the rest they deserve, so they turn up tomorrow to blow them away again.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

"we need da Barmy army"

 

[Iceman!]

**** i want one of those Australia sweaters that Marnus was wearing

They must be having a laugh.
The test is less than halfway through, we are into the second innings and Pietersen asking if Australia will play for the draw?

Holy hell.

Was about to comment on it, too. Very nice.

 

[BGman]

Terrific pressure from our attack. We asked for morning overcast and the wickets fell. A good lead so now the ball is in the bashball court.

Given up on the commentary and gone BBC radio. So much better.

Sky Sports guys are normally OK but they've gone too hard on the Kool-aid.

 

[Bedi]

That 8/15 is a scary f****g remnder of what can happen

 

[Moonwatcher]

Australia 60%
England 35%
Draw 5%

Commentators: Should Australia hang on for the draw

 

[ams4crows]

I'm so nervous all of a sudden.... Don't know why almost like I know this is the moment. Get through this period and we'll be on our way

 

[Southerntakeover]

Blocking the ball to a fielder and taking off with Ussie at the other ends going to end up well David

 

[troybe]

You’ve gotta have a soft spot for the Poms, they keep inventing sports they’re not very good at

 

[Moonwatcher]

That 8/15 is a scary f****g remnder of what can happen

When did that happen?

 

[ptrg]

Haha that one hurt his jaw somehow

 

[Andrew Mc]

The win predictor is on drugs - 35% for England, pffft.
