Thread: Cricket scores around the world

Tail end now.

England win the series.

Third of three starts December 14th at Seddon Park.

Aussies need 19 runs to win with 10 wickets in hand.

A reasonable start for the sheepshaggers: 172/3

We won the toss and chose to bowl.

Aussies batting (dunno who won the toss cos I wasn’t awake at 2:00am…) currently rain interrupting play on Day 1.

The sheepshaggers finished the day with 315/9.

I think it's nice of England to give the sheepshaggers a shot at the win bonus, what with Christmas coming up and all.

Head and Smith wrestle control of the 1st innings with a century each.

Aussies 3/313 at drinks break.

And Miss Piggy is now out - 316 / 4.

India not starting their innings well. 2/6


chasing 445

England lost by 423 runs. Must be in a rush to get home for Chrimbo.

No test now until May it seems.

Still first innings in Brisbane although we are now into Day 4. India 5/125 and need 260 to avoid the follow on, which is the only way Australia can win in this rain-affected Test. The covers have been pulled on 13 times this test, apparently 14 is the record.

Aussies batting 0/77 with new player Konstas who is youngest ever Aussie to debut, achieved third fastest 50 on debut and has hit Bumrah for his largest first opening spell ever.

The Indians have persevered well today.

Though hopefully Koli will lose his match fee.

250-5

Indeed, a middle order mini collapse gives back control to India.

This partnership must be frustrating India. 6-411

And the minute I type that Cummins goes out of 49…

The lack of back up for Bumrah is showing again.

India out of ideas, so back to JB.

Ashwin going home was a surprise.

An early wicket by the Aussies is only going to put pressure on the other batsmen!

1-8 chasing 474

'Ashwin might not have retired...': Ravi Shastri reacts on Washington Sundar's return in MCG Test

Cummins bowls a beauty to take out Rahul's off stump just before tea break!

2-51

Another absorbing day's play.

126/2 after 35.

Loads of praise on Fox for Kohli, considering he's on 28.

We might just have the wicket we need…


Jaiswal survives a review.

Got it!

That was Jaiswal’s call! Kohli refused to run.

3/153

Boland takes Kohli! A couple of late wickets is a handy way to end the day.

Stumps.

5/164
