[Cricket] England vs Australia, Ashes 4th test - Old Trafford

[Is it PotG?]

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I highly doubt they've intentionally risked losing the Ashes by weakening their side purely for dramatic effect...

Paine was asked earlier in the series why they hadn't yet introduced Starc. He said they had an Ashes game plan and were sticking to it. I tend to believe him. How else do you explain Warner keeping his place in the batting order?

Play for the draw, park the bus and go to the oval for a one test shootout.

More or less our only course of action, from this point. Unfortunately we don't have the batsmen capable of parking the bus. Going to need a good deal of help from the weather.

Will Smith retire as board and give the other batsman a go after he gets his 300?

 

[Easy 10]

Apparently you can still get 10/1 on an innings defeat. I might have me some of that.

Set fair for the next 3 days...

I can see a score of 500+ coming, would not expect us to make that in two innings.... lump on !

I'm not even expecting England to reach Smith's final total.

Saw it mentioned on twitter and I'm scouring B365 for this bet, but can't bloody find it. Maybe they've taken it down.

Harrump.

 

[Simster]

Six more. FFS.

So I wonder who is going to get the biggest first innings score, Steve Smith or, er, England?

This has turned into a genuine question.

 

[dangull]

Leach getting the ball to spin. Aussies 7 down. Not good for England unfortunately as Lyon will be licking his lips.

There will be individual markets on how many England will score, so just find the closest one and DIY.

Bring back Archer to **** Starc up!

 

[The Wizard]

Bring back Archer to **** Starc up!

With his 83mph bouncers? I bet Starc is quivering in his boots

 

[Luke93]

You have to applaud Smith. Unbelievable talent. Pains me to say it, however!

 

[pasty]

Smith 201 not out

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Begrudgingly well played though

 

[The Wizard]

The only explanation is I think he’s been installed with cutting edge laser eye technology that gives him a distinct unfair advantage and therefore makes him a total and utter cheat, probably got a discount from Warne I hate his stupid face.

 

[Luke93]

New ball due in 80 overs.

Have faith.

 

[The Wizard]

You know all hope is gone when Root brings himself on

He gets Smith ahahahahsha
