Australia v England First Ashes Test at the Gabba - 2017

[SilentHunter_]

only 128/2. I wouldn't say they have a huge amount of batting depth wiht Ali at 6.

inb4 Ali triple.

 

[Power Raid]

fingers crossed for a huge session

 

[rippersnipper]

yup. his keeping wasnt that much worse than Nevill.
the only major difference was that everyone got stuck into Wade and kept making excuses for Nevill. Ian Healy being the head cheerleader.

both not test standard IMO

Who is then though? Who is the best keeper in the shield? Pick that guy for the next match

 

[RookiePick]

Keeping the run rate tight has been super important. England on top but not in an overly strong position yet.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

How much overtime do we get today?

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

If we finish today at 4 for 15-200 I will be very happy.

 

[Badesumofu]

Was really glad to see that wicket.

Shame we don't have Matthew 'never drops em' Wade playing. No one ever complained about him.

 

[Costanza_]

How long can they play for? I thought it was only 30 mins after stumps, which is scheduled for 5pm local time, 6pm Syd/Melb time.

But they just had a lengthy tea break and doubt they would come back for only 1h10?

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

How much overtime do we get today?

Don't think that there's going to be any today.

 

[a mayes ing]

inb4 Ali triple.

Wouldn't be surprised if we get the next 3 or so wickets really quickly to have them 160/6 and then Ali and bloody Woakes both get centuries

 

[The_Reaper]

How much overtime do we get today?

Usual half hour.

It's an early start tomorrow too.

 

[Kipz]

Starc has a face like a subcontinental 5th day deck

Alex Carey by all reports but i havent seen enough of him to know.
there is literally no one else so why not do what they did with Ian Healy by taking a chance and picking him before his time.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

It's an early start tomorrow too.

So is this a 70 minute session then.

 

[Costanza_]

FFS, commentators giving no credit to England. 2/138 is a great position regardless of the run rate but all the talk from Slater and KP is about BEING POSITIVE, ACCELERATION, DAVEY WARNER WOULD BE 130*

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Starc doesn't look to pleased with the condition of the ball.

 

[RookiePick]

lolstarc

 

[Dadda Dave]

Can channel 9 get some decent commentators? Is it possible.

Chappeli gives me the shits.

So is this a 70 minute session then.

Half hour for rain plus usual half hour to nake up the overs.
Half hour early tomorrow too.

Starc doesn't look to pleased with the condition of the ball.

It's either the ball or the footmarks with Starc.

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Commentators saying that the ball got wet.

Warner would be 130 or more likely 3

 

[ioppolo]

Pakistan laugh at England's idea of cautious.

 

[twotooto]

How much overtime?

Roberts said they can play for an hour extra today.

Whether that manifests in some OT today and an earlier start tomorrow or they do the full quota today? Dunno.

Guessing an hour extra today.
