    That shot epitomises why Vince will never be a test level batsman
  • kentaddickkentaddick
    Just seen vince’s wicket.

    Absolute bellend. If he would’ve left it chances are it would’ve ended up at first slip anyway
  • golfaddickgolfaddick
    Root left it on purpose. He knew it was too high & now putting doubt in umpires mind that the ball might not always be hitting the stumps. Next time they may just give it not out & so any reviews will then be on our side under "umpires call". Smart thinking by Root

    And the Aussies now lose a review
  • LeuthLeuth
    That was very silly from Smith. But his side should still be able to win without reviews. There is no excuse! :D

    And swiftly lose their 2nd one so none left!!!!

    That second one was a shocker!

    If we lose, it won't be because Vince played at a fast outswinger that exploded off the pitch under the lights on day four.

    The last thing I want right now is an Aussie on commentary. Such smug bastards.
  • ChizzChizz
    If England win, it's likely that it would be the result of a big score from Root, or from the influence he has on the batsmen below him in the order.

    So my view is this - if England win, it will be because of their captain. But if Australia win, it will be despite theirs.

    Runs dried up. Need to start putting pressure on the bowlers & to start scoring again.

    I think Smith thought that he was making up for the one against Cook that he didn't allow Hazlewood to review. So at least three bad decisions by Smith in this Test, the worst of all being not enforcing the follow on.

    The runs will come. Just need these two to survive this session because tomorrow they will have, without the lights, 14 overs to the new ball and 66 overs to the lights.

    Who is going to be setting their clocks for 3.30 in the morning?

    I have had hardly any sleep since the start of the Test Match.

    Keep bowling those leg stump half volleys with no man out and this will be over sooner than you can say Waltzing Matilda!

    People like us I would suggest are beyond the need for beauty sleep.

    There's a little voice in my head telling me to stop being so hopeful.

    A catch that is - albeit difficult. But he’s probably getting a bit nervous in the trouser department too.

    50 for Root. Need 150 from him though.

    Malan has to be hitting the full tosses and long hops for four

    Like that albeit it was a half volley.

    I wish Swann would just keep his mouth shut and not tempt fate.

    Sorry Dick but have I got this right - you are asking Swann to keep his mouth shut?
  • cantersaddickcantersaddick
    Every run greeted with a monster cheer.

    Starc going for a few.

    I'm not saying anything.

    This is amazing stuff. Yesterday I thought the series was all over.
