Radio commentating tips
Isa Guha really needs to learn that shouting "Edged by Labuschagne - and taken" is unhelpful when in actual fact the ball has gone for four.

41 overs, 85 runs - are the Aussies just going to bat for the 20 days remaining in the series :lol:

 

[Risc]

Bit short in attack aren't we? With Hazelwood and Cummings both being out.

Bat through today and tomorrow, put a decent score up and hope the fragility of the England batsmen shows up again with quick wickets falling.

Joe Root - brilliant batsman, and a decent occasional bowler.

And then there's his captaincy...

 

[Squarebear]

Don't look now, folks, but England have taken a wicket. And it's not a no ball.

Labuschagne LBW b Robinson for 103.

If Australia can be bowled out for under 400 England may have a chance.

A chance of a draw?

All too often you end up watching England bowl not really expecting them to take a wicket.

All too often you end up watching England bat expecting a wicket to fall almost every ball.

Not sure why they keep losing games :lol: :?

England will fold like a pack of cards under the lights ...

FFS had a bet with a mate that Smith would score century in this test, I don't think he'll be batting in the second innings so I'm £10 down.

Declare and get them in under the lights.

I predicted a whitewash before the fist ball was bowled and I’ve not seen much to change my mind. A fragile top order, a bowling attack with little bite and sloppy fielding all paint the picture of a dismal series for England. It’s going to take an enormous effort to salvage something from here, not impossible but growing increasingly unlikely by the over.

 

[Risc]

Hope Starc'y ain't going to nacker himself out here he's got a job to do.

 

[Cooperman]

Burns out caught in the slips. An air of inevitability about it all.

Lightening and rain. Maybe there is a God after all? Be gutted if he turned out to be English tbh.
