Thread: Cricket scores around the world

Good fight back by the unwashed.

Let's see a good test match.

We Are England.

Not the best of starts but a jolly good recovery. Need another 100 though on this wicket...

Hundred up for Bairstow...356/4...cracking stuff from England.

Or indeed 'jolly good'.

Oh Mo!

Lost 6 wickets for 35 runs.

Good fightback by the Aussies.

Mo looks gone on this tour.

Shame England didn't really capitalise...still, it's 400.

Warner and Smith in the afternoon on this strip is a bit worryng.

Aussie women really do love their cricketers.

55/2

Getting interesting.

Overton is a splendid bowler.

I'd be tempted to bowl Root.

Another rather poor day as captain for Root...bowling Ali when he really should have had Anderson bowling at the start of Smith's innings.

Not sure captaincy suits him.

Oh Jimmy Jimmy.

Have we lost yet?

Mitch Marsh waited 22 tests,i think,to get his first ton,now wants to get 200,Smith may break his own highest score as well.
They have made the Poms wear out boot leather chasing balls about, great batting display.

Graeme Swann really is Mr Positive.

Stumps,
OZ 146 lead,4/549,Smith 229,no, M Marsh 181no.
Smith says they are batting tomorrow,hope Marsh gets his 200.
300 partenership,great cricket,Poms must be starting to think the Ashes are slipping away after this batting display.

Root bowling Overton with a broken rib and Anderson and Broad bowling pies.

Even I could score runs of these impostors.

Malan appears to be the find so far.

Fine batting display by the aussies, although I did see a comment that even Boycott could bowl faster...

Top Test batting averages in Aus (min 2000 runs):

1. D Bradman 98.23
2. S Smith 76.19
3. M Clarke 62.05
4. M Hussey 61.19
5. D Warner 58.52

2/30,Cook will have plenty of time for a bit of Piccolo,or what other instrument he plays, practice after going for 14.
