Gonna struggle to 400 here.0

Bairstow bowled for 119.
389-80 -
If you'd offered me 389-8 when we were 131-4 then I'd have bit your hand off.
If you'd offered it at 360 odd for 4 then I'd tell you sounds about right.3 -
we'll be lucky to get 400. I said this yesterday. England are like Charlton - never fail to let you down.Leuth said:I mean, from 368-4, 400 kind of IS a disaster, but we've not been bowled out yet
I'm off to bed at lunch. I expect The Aussies to get 500+ & have a lead of 150 or so.0 -
As I said - predicted it yesterday. I'm off to bed.golfaddick said:
This is Perth, not Manchester. Rain may delay it a bit but not a whole days play. I still expect a mini collapse tomorrow morning & by lunch will be 8 or 9 down - don't think we'll get much over 400.killerandflash said:Rain forecast on Sunday and Monday, so this may end up a draw.

Overton really had nothing to gain fending. Should have had a mighty swing at that0

Hysterical nonsense.Leuth said:Haha oh god

The Aussies are kind of crap at batting. Hold onto that, folks0

It's been even worse than that though...golfaddick said:

The wickets have all come at once. If you predict 4 or 5 wickets in a session you might expect some in the first couple of overs and the rest follow in the remainder.
Bairstow and Malan got us to 50+ on the day and then since we're 25-5.
Total collapse - momentum with the Aussies now.0 - Sponsored links:

You keep saying this but where’s your evidence that they’re really any worse than us? And any slight deficiency they have is more than negated by how toothless our bowling attack is when the ball doesn’t swing, which it won’t here.Leuth said:The Aussies are kind of crap at batting.

This score is not a 200 all out disaster but the Aussies will be very confident they’ll pass it, and so they should be.2 -
Broad with the biggest six of the series, then

Lovely shot Broad.0

Bang on for 5-0 again now.
400 on this is like 350 elsewhere, Oz will likely score at 4 an over - we are gonna have a deficit of 150 by day 4 - and by that time pitch likely to be turning.
feck me ive turned into Golfie.5 -
Sure we lost 6 for 35, but there was a record partnership before that. Everything will carry to the slips. We just need early wickets and they're in trouble. I'm probably too optimistic and you're all definitely too pessimistic.0
-
Shame I popped off for (liquid) lunch. Would have been right by where that 6 landed. 400 is good after the start on the first day, can see this test being close. Australia favourites at the moment.0
-
Normally I'd be delighted with 400 but not now the Aussies have built up a head of steam.
Need them 2 down for 50 odd.0 -
403 all out then...0

Ali shines again , sigh.0

Is Ali suffering from the Trotts?
Hope not, but this touring larks not for everyone.0 -
I think he is likely one of those, has an underlying weak character.Whilst he has natural ability , has zero mental strength which is easily found out in a place like Oz. Get shot of him, bring him back when were playing Zim at home.carly burn said:Is Ali suffering from the Trotts?

Ah, that familiar confusing feeling, when you wake up to discover England are all out for less runs than they had for 4 wickets when you went to sleep.

Once we unearth a credible front line spinner he'll be lucky to keep his place. Until then we don't have much of an option but to play him.The_President said:
