[Gareth]

Good last hour before lunch-mad old game, quite possible it doesn’t make day 3

[Baldy]

This game is over. They will not crumble second time around. It’s another disgraceful moment in this awful tour.

Oh ye of little faith.

98-6

If we can restrict Australia to a 200 lead and show a bit of patience (shot selection) we can win this.

Glad I stayed up.

[The Left Side]

175 to win

[Baldy]

England 175 to win.

If the silly feckers had proper warm up matches in Oz they would have a stood a chance to win this series. Discovered their line and length too late.

[Rory]

This will determine if sackings are warranted, in my opinion.

Tough wicket, obviously, but if we can't knuckle down and chase 175 on a day two pitch, that would be the worst loss of the lot, for me.

[TonyD]

Couldn’t sleep so got up and caught the last 4 wickets.

Duckett swiping !!!

[TonyD]

Duckett won’t make 20.

[Baldy]

Tea - England need 98 to win with 8 wickets left.

In 2021, Boland took 6 wickets for 7 runs against England at this very ground. Far from over. Crazy, crazy game. 

[Rory]

I don't care, lose from here and the team need shooting.

[Baldy]

Job done.

[Rory]

Stick your whitewash up your arse!

Poor tour again, but better than the last few.

Aftab, did you see any of this or had you already shipped off?
