The Ashes. Fifth Test Australia v England @ Blundstone Arena, Hobart, 14-18 January 2022

[ABAB]

Been sloppy the last 2 Test, need to make no mistakes to win the Test match.

 

[Coasters7]

There was a solid spike between frames too. Thought that’d have been plenty to give it out

 

[11kgm]

stop bowling to his one strength

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Need Captain Cummings in the slips, so he can determine what to review Lol

 

[RandB]

Still no short stuff. FMD

 

[smasha]

Boland back to that line and length.

 

[kozi]

We gifted 6 wickets to Wood to balls we could have left! We should be still batting

Yet we still have nuffies like this

180 would have been enough.

 

[compact72]

England is going to ****ing win, aren't they?

 

[PhatBoy]

Brayshaw completely dismissive of the sound.

Probably because you could parallel park the Titanic in the gap between the ball and the bat.

 

[Kuuz]

This time last night the pitch looked nigh unplayable, but now looks as flat as a tac.

Curious whether it’s down to our boys failing to extract anything from the pitch, the pitch flattening out or a bit of both.

Will admit on body language, our bowlers look tired. Really should have rested Starc, he just looks like he’s played one too many.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Not Burns’ bat - could drive a truck through the gap. It was his boot scraping on the pitch

Didn't sound anything like a boot scrape to me

Didn't look like an edge though

Weird one

The clicking sound? No way your boots are making that sort of sound

 

[Carbine Chaos]

No chance what was presented provided conclusive evidence to overturn a decision.

I suspect it may have been enough to uphold an out decision.

 

[Santana]

Still no short stuff. FMD

That's a good thing with Crawley batting

 

[doggies ftw]

Your boot doesn’t make that sound lol, it’s obviously hit the bat, but obviously can’t give that out either - play on

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Unleash the !!!

 

[MJG14]

Starting to seriously contemplate an England win.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

What about them? Are they not allowed to ask? Every team does it if the ball is a) doing nothing and b) damaged or out of shape.
Should they be in trouble for appealing for wickets too?

F*** I know it’s the pot calling the kettle black given my love of a good moan but geez Aussie fans love a whinge.

Just saying mate that England have asked for ball changes quite often this series. You’re not the quintessential laid back Windies supportper are you?

 

[Linda Lovelace]

'What else could the noise be???????!!!!!!!'

Someboody needs to drug test Warney. And not let him blame his mum this time.

It seemed reasonably likely yesterday that day four would be be the best day to bat.

 

[smasha]

Greeny!

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Finally.

 

[ep2018]

Yes! Finally

 

[ams4crows]

Yes Greeny!!

 

[Moonwatcher]

Got 10% of the runs before he went though.
