It never used to be something Australia did. Not sure when that changed.
If he survives a bit, I'd think about giving Robbo a go at him. Not a fan of the steepler.
Not just surviving a bit...he's got 9 already.

He's not a fan of the short stuff. I think Robbo would be the best option at him normally.

Big day tomorrow. I think England need to win this one, they're not going to get Smith, Labuschagne and Warner out this cheaply very often.
Khawaja looks very organised, some player.

Gonna be a close one. They can’t allow Australia to form any kind of partnership or it’s lost.
The Head -Khawaja partnership (assuming it happens) is key, they looked the best pair in the first innings, break that quickly and it’s on
pasty
A different kind of pasty
Good day to be wfh tomorrow 
Not so sure about the 'w' bit.....Good day to be wfh tomorrow

Almost as entertaining as the match is following this thread as posters tell us what is going to happen with such conviction when, in reality, no-one has got a Scooby because an over or two can completely change the outlook.
Well played everyone, see you back here tomorrow for the England/Australia win (or a draw after it's rained off)

I’d agree normally but it was a horrible session we faced yesterday, and we got through it with credit IMHO. If it swung back and they had to face a horrible session too they’d be a few more down.

4 outcomes Bobkin, you missed the tie.
Excellent cricket.

Many of us have a " Scooby Doo " because we watch, listen observe and yes, an over or two can completely change the outlook but then the next 10 overs can change it again. But there is a sense of " Mood Music " from the batting side or the fielding side that resonates within those that know....and that is the magic of the game.Almost as entertaining as the match is following this thread as posters tell us what is going to happen with such conviction when, in reality, no-one has got a Scooby because an over or two can completely change the outlook.

Currently I think the Convicts will edge it if we get most of a days play but, that can change in the first over. Marvellous fun !

Well that's ME patronisingly told!
People can watch, listen and observe until the cows come home, but when you've got, for example, the sages in the TMS commentary box not being able to predict anything, forgive me for having a bit of a laugh at the mere cricketing mortals on NSC saying - with ultimate confidence - that the result is a forgone conclusion
I just assumed he meant Watch From Home
