England v Aussies Cricket Tests

Is that confirmed, or just your prediction?

 

I wish I was that connected.

Yes, just seen it myself.
I'm surprised that Tongue has been rested. I guess he's new to test cricket so maybe they thought that five day tests three weeks running was a bit much for him. I guess Robinson is the workhorse that they feel they need in case Stokes can't bowl. I'd have been happier with a Broad, Wood, Tongue, Stokes strike force though.

 

To the western terrace.

 

Here we go

 

Terrible dropped catch by Bairstow there, off Wood. How long can England keep blowing chances due to poor Bairstow keeping?

 

Bairstow will be thanking his lucky stars that he got a simple catch next over to dismiss Smith.

Excellent morning for England.

 

Great first and 3rd sessions

 

263 all out. Fantastic performance from Mark Wood.

If only we hadn't dropped so many catches we could have had them all out for 150. Still a good bowling performance though.

 

Now the hard bit.

 

Flying start from England....

 

The fielding and specifically catching has been really poor from England in this series so far. It's that bad it is going to cost us the Ashes

 

A very different perspective of todays play.
First time I’ve been in the Howard stand.(It will be the last as well)
Anybody who went to Newcastle away will know how high I am.

 

Here we go again

 

Think England need to learn they can leave some of these balls. Really unnecessary balls to play at costing us huge.

 

Not a great session.

 

Broad gets Warner like night follows day.

 

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 2 days at the test match on Thursday and Friday but I have to admit to a massive amount of jealousy at those who will be there today to hopefully witness a successful run chase and a win to keep the Ashes alive.
