Look she makes a point and bless her heart but did she not watch Head make a ton?

Konstas incredibly impressive tonight for the Thunder. Proper shots.

Bancroft spudded it up from the other end.

Follow on avoided...we've blown this.

Rain tomorrow may have ruined it anyway but at least we'd have set up a reasonable chance.

First ball of the day kinda set the tone. Smith takes that soda they're probably bowled out an hour ago.

Also doesn't help when a player you're bringing back from injury only lasts 6 overs. Gee. Plus Jadeja making runs against us for the Nth time.

Feels like we're helping the stars align for India stealing a win in one of the last two games and retaining the trophy yet again.

Nice call ep2018..

Can’t see the Thunder losing many games with their squad

I missed the last little bit. Seems like a decent chase?

Pope might have just lost the game for the Strikers, but he's 25 so he must be in line for national selection soon ?

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

How do you end up with Lloyd Pope bowling the 19th over lol

 

[wce4premiership]

Knew it would happen when Cummins started with that short tactic which hasn't worked the last 20 times we've done it to the tail.

By the time we pitched it up they had their eyes in.

Was almost pulling my hair out.

FFS, attack the stumps, set the field for some straight drives and flicks off the pad. Make them play a shot or risk bowled/lbw.

 

[TY24]

Not sure what disappeared faster, Pope’s talent or his hairline

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

FKASC deep cut

Weather prevented us winning. Watch India beat us at the MCG to retain and kill off our chances of making the WTC now.

So bloody frustrating.

A little annoying, but all in all a good result for us I reckon in terms of the WTC - draws against India are okay for us (we are above them currently) and perhaps more importantly, I think they should get docked points for their slow over rates this test.

Still relevant!

 

[Ochre]

Beginning to think we may not get a result here

 

[DanWCE]

Shake hands, head to the pub

 

[Dazzler9]

At what point do we start praying for the rain to come back?

By the time we pitched it up they had their eyes in.

The same short ball tactic that no doubt played a part in Green’s stress fractures given he was asked to do that crap as a batting all rounder.

 

[Tugga27]

I love Uzzie but his time is up.

Just have to bring Konstas in.

 

[Mulldogg]

Who do the selectors play scapegoat with first; Khawaja, Labuschagne or McSweeney?

My money is that McSweeney gets dropped and the former two survive.

George Bailey’s credit policy runs even deeper than Simmo’s.

Why is bison batting above smudge

 

[kane249]

Wouldn't be opposed to Webster coming in for Marsh either

Need a bowler to back up the first 3, missing Green in that regard

 

[Ochre]

How good is rain

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Getting pretty hard to justify Marsh’s spot in the XI. Bowling very little and not making any runs.

 

[squashface]

Why is bison batting above smudge

Surely only possible reason is Marsh and Head are capable of getting runs quickly whereas Smith grinds them out.

And yes I am aware that Marsh has failed this series (including today) but I’d say that’s the thought process.
