Lyon made the breakthrough and Ali followed 2 balls later. Looks like Bairstow doesn't really trust the tail so he went quickly too. Disapointing after getting into a great position It really was a great chance to apply some proper pressure. I don't think this Aussie team is that good. Just England are powder puff in attack. Bairstow left with no choice to swing when left with the England tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 White wash is definitely on. Cook needs sent home. Don't see anybody in the side that will save them this test . So poor Skittled out before lunch the morn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Australia have turned up and done more than enough to win this series. England just aren't good enough. It's been like that for a while. Don't believe they are mentally strong enough and its a inherent problem. Away series are a bigger challenge than they seem to be able to manage. If series was in England I think England could win due to the conditions and just being at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You heading along Geoff? (Just realised you'll be in your kip at the moment). Anyway, big Hearts supporting mate of mine is heading along with his laddie who's out there working. Not sure what part as it says General Admission on the ticket. So if you see a big galootish looking 52 year old with a Hearts top on, that'll be him. Mon The Aussies!

robbo1874 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Watched the first hour or so before heading to my kip. The bowling at that stage looked very average.

thehibsareintheirbeds Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Interesting start. Dead pitch but England bowlers starting to swing it and causing problems.

We are Scottish we love a conspiracy theory It's a real kick in the teeth. TBF, whether Scotland would have made the total is moot, but it was doable. The LBW was shocking. Was hearing on the radio that this could affect Scottish Cricket's budget now, so being so close to a gig that would have sorted the game for a few years to come, it now takes a backward step. Real shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real shame. I was watching the game, and Scotland were well in control, and the Windies were sh***ing themselves. The guy given out was well set, and the decision was a joke, the ball would have been lucky to hit another set of stumps!!! They also went off when the rain was not that heavy, it did get heavier later but another couple of overs might have made all the difference. Shame cos they played really well. Typical result for Scottish teams in all sports!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
