• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

I am now with you, especially with that last over before lunch yielding 15 runs. I suspect they may send Bairstow out after lunch with instructions to swing the bat at everything for a couple of overs (or until he's out), but I think they should declare and put Australia in immediately.

Tomorrow looks like a complete wash out at the moment and Sunday doesn't look much better. It's irrelevant if 189 is a big enough lead because if Australia exceed that total then it's almost certainly going to be a draw anyway. Got to hope for some brilliant bowling this afternoon and an Aussie collapse.

The feeling is that there might be some play on Sunday hopefully, even if England, and its a big if, can get the Aussies 7 down by close tonight it gives them a fighting chance, but I can honestly see the weather winning either way.

Australia quite happy taking time out of the match.

It seems a little strange England putting their main bowlers in the firing line, just to add a few more runs.
 
Glenn McGrath saying on TMS that the Australians don't want rain as it makes it really difficult for them to win this match. I'm guessing that was said with his tongue firmly in his cheek?

Total dominance, England obviously hoping for some play on Sunday and some inspirational bowling 🙏

This is a confidence destroying exercise now in the hope it carries over into the batting. I hope it doesn’t come back to bite us on the arse.
 
If anyone gets a chance to watch the documentary on Amazon about the feud between Beefy and Ian Chappell...def worth a watch.
What a horrible obnoxious cvnt Chappell is.

US :?

Never thought they'd get such a big lead, fair play another two wickets before stumps and its on, surely.

I've seen bits of it, the bit where Beefy got up and walked off :lol:
