The BlackBear Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Broad and Moeen have slowed the collapse enough. Edit. *Sigh* I'll just keep my mouth shut shall I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeor Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hah. Well, you needn't worry Hereward...I'm not sure this side is capable of scoring 77, let alone 477. I will be surprised if this Test lasts into the third day by much if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 And England declare. That's an interesting choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeor Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Good move, although he should have done it a little sooner if he were going to declare before lunch. Get 5 overs in or so, whereas he'll be lucky now to fit in two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arataniello Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I guess the declaration was timed just to have Australia bat for that awkward ten minutes before lunch, in the hope of a repeat of yesterday's innings. Looks like that won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubby Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 And England declare. That's an interesting choice. Cook is just looking forward to his tee time tomorrow afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Cook grasses a sitter. Things not going quite as well in this second innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxter Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Yeah better batting from Australia. It's making Clarke's comments yesterday re: the state of this pitch look even more ridiculous. I just wonder whether England nerves might start to fray if Warner really gets going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeor Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Meh, still behind by more than 200. No need for England to start worrying - and besides, there haven't been many runs coming from 5+ down the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Winged Shadow Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Man, no luck for the poms today...two drop catches, then they finally hold one and its a no-ball lol edit: WTF was with that appeal?! that missed by a mile..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paxter Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Haha yeah I was being a little overly pessimistic there. Took something pretty special from Stokes though, the rest of the attack hasn't offered much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BlackBear Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Quick thinking though... You'd normally expect it to be caught clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
