Phase one complete getting through tonight unscathed. Not without the odd scare but knocked a nice little chunk off the target and Australia wasted a review. Another great finish in store.

The poms can haemorrhage wickets faster than a derro with a free pass on the back shelf.

 

[BarrieOwl]

But you would still need to bat.

Not happened yet?

Nope, bring it on.

I think you guys say nightwatchman (as in keeps guard over night).

Even five down you poms seem to flap.

5 up and your husband gets his bonus.

 

[Super_horns]

Well hopefully not going to throw this away .

Just got to see it out a bit then start playing .

Nothing too silly .

 

[Railway Blue]

Yeh ~~ could win this scoring under 2 an over (rain permitting), but I doubt that will happen!

 

[GTFCfish]

That Duckett wicket has been coming to be fair, had a couple of escapes last night with edges and out the 2 I’d rather Crawley still be in as he looks in really good nick out there.

 

[kieran_vale]

Every time Crawley hits that cover drive for four you just know he’ll nick off trying the same shot right after. Shame as he’d gone well up to that point.

 

[GTFCfish]

Shame to lose Root but I’d have happily taken this at the start, 98 to win with 6 wickets left if we can’t do this from here then we won’t deserve it anyway.
Surely we can’t fuck this up from here?

 

[kieran_vale]

All set up for Bairstow to hit the winning runs isn’t it?

Overall even losing four wickets the key is the runs have kept coming. First half an hour after lunch will be it now. Brook now he’s got in has got to take responsibility to be there at the end of the innings. Do that England will win.

 

[GTFCfish]

What a shit way to get out by Stokes, lose another and we’re in big trouble.

 

[kieran_vale]

Such a loose shot from Bairstow there. Rather dicey now.

 

[GTFCfish]

Christ were actually gonna fuck this up aren’t we?

I’m already having a shit day if we manage to lose this I’ll be in full on rage mode.

 

[Super_horns]

How will these guys play it ?

Got to try and hold on but can they play like that .

 

[BarrieOwl]

Not chirping now are ya you fucking convict c***

 

[GTFCfish]

Can't wait to see the bedwetting tomorrow when Cummins and Boland ripe the pommies a new one.

I know, we are, we're going three up and there is nothing you can do to stop it happening.

The poms can haemorrhage wickets faster than a derro with a free pass on the back shelf.

Caitlyn You ok hun?

 

[Super_horns]

Fitting that Woakes and Wood were the ones there at end as they made a big difference generally coming in.

Well done.

 

[kieran_vale]

This team will be the death of me. What a test and what a series this is.

Well done to Harry Brook, that is probably his best innings for us which really won it. Woakes came in and steadied it and not sure what else you can say about Mark Wood.

 

[Railway Blue]

Well done.

Woakes's batting average is only a fraction less than Crawley's.

 

[BarrieOwl]

Caitlyn You ok hun?

No she's not OK she's a fucking retard.

 

[GTFCfish]

No she's not OK she's a fucking retard.

She’s all over here when they win then today she’s nowhere to be seen.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Woakes's batting average is only a fraction less than Crawley's.

MoM, scored 40 from 16 balls and took 7/100. We do make a struggle out of what should have been a cruise home though.

Think you’re getting Wood mixed up with Woakes bud.

 

[kieran_vale]

Was a very deserved man of the match for Wood though. Made all the difference in this test. With Old Trafford usually offering some pace and bounce I’d be looking at having both him and Tongue in the lineup for the next one. Shame I doubt we’ll get to see Wood and Archer bowling together in a test match.

 

[GTFCfish]

What a difference it made having a longer tail too.
In the last one as soon as Stokes got out you knew that we’d had it whereas in this one we put 70 odd on for the last 2 wickets first innings (a lot down to Stokes still being in of course as well) and then this one Woakes and Wood both step up to the plate plus we knew we still had Broad who can bat a bit still to come.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Think you’re getting Wood mixed up with Woakes bud.

I am! Read that all as Wood for some reason.

 

[Caitlyn]

Caitlyn You ok hun?

I'm all good, thankyou. So you only chirp up when you win?

 

[Caitlyn]

She’s all over here when they win then today she’s nowhere to be seen.

Unlike you I'm here when we lose so where were you when England lost?

[Caitlyn]

I don't have any underlying 'problems' thanks!

I'm all good, have a happy husband so all is good x

 

[Caitlyn]

Well done England on a great fight back, thought you were going to lose more wickets but you hung on for a great win.

Adds a bit of spice to the fourth test.

After we lost the first test I posted this:

Sickening to throw that one away but fair play to Cummins for going for it at 8 wickets down instead of just playing for the draw.

Thanks for asking.

You must forgive me for not reading and responding to every bedwetting post and summary of bullshit, I have to admit I must have skipped past a few and missed anything complimentary in-between me being mentally ill and nasty derogatory statements about my daughter so apologies. Any decent man would be understanding.
