They are trying to get him caught in the grandstand.
All that effort to get 6 shots at Broad and we cook it 2 in.
This is deflating.
So zero chance of a draw. But how about 1% chance of a tie.
I wouldnât put all the fielders back for Stokes.
If he hits it anywhere near them, then it is going over the fence.
Bring them up a bit for the mistimed one.
Im behind so im hoping you lot will post some good news from the future
Oh yeah, Iâve been railing against the short stuff since yesterday. Itâs been putrid.
But our fielding has turned to crud, the crowd is in the game, Broad is gobbing off / winding things up , weâre smiling and nodding and our thinking is completely dismantled.
Weâll either win, or we wonât.

Looks like the buffering wheel Iâm getting on my stream
This has been like watching Essendon give away a 5 to 6 goal lead half way through the 3/4
The lack of balls aimed at the stumps is disgusting. You take away 2 of the major modes of dismissal right away.
Its amazing what pressure does.
It doesnt matter how good you are, and how much achieved previously.
How many times would Smith drop that catch in a regulation Test Match out of 20 ?
Just hoping for a mis timed pull shot at this stage
Whatâs a dismissal? ,
Itâs not just that either. We are bowling middle and leg to a bloke who can only score off middle and leg. Stokes nicks off for fun against everyone else and we havenât attacked him outside off
Fallen apart with no Lyon both building pressure and taking 2nd innings wickets
All of our reserve players are crabs in the field.
This has been an absolute garbage performance by Australia today.
Really has. Sure missed catches but geez the bowling was ridiculous
