2025-2026 Summer of Cricket

400 will be enough, but we should bat for 2 hours tomorrow and set them 500.

Do you have an uncle named Bill Lawry?

I like it still 2 days play demoralise them wear them out with a short turn around and beat them!

 

[Lefty]

Yes, we want a 5-0 scoreline.

 

[Treadly]

Yep, pile on runs for at least the morning session. Set an impossible task and then 4-5 sessions to bat. Have they made it through a full 3 session yet this tour?

I think the Aussies should play fair and give this guy a bowl in the next Test…..

Bat till mid second session, lead around 500, bowlers rested, wicket is flat, runs easy, take no chances, plenty of time

We cant only Aussies can play for us, no poms allowed!

It appears that England is covering up that Stokes is injured. By not bowling yesterday at such a critical time, he must have been injured.

England’s Ashes campaign has gone from bad to worse. I will have something to say about it at the end of this game.

 

[Macca89]

Be up there for one of the most diabolical campaigns in Ashes history.

He’s having a bowl now so maybe he was just knackered

Yes, it looks that way.

He should have been fit enough to bat and bowl through the series.

I will never be able to forget the awesome batting and bowling feats of Ian Botham in 1981 and 1984 against Australia.

I'm just young enough to not have any real memories of 81 and 84. I can remember his century in the first test in Brisbane that set the tone for the 86-87 series. I remember him playing a square cut for 6 when that kind of thing was unheard of.

You’re lucky. Our series losses in 1981 and 1984 were devastating.

Assuming Smith is fit for the next test, I would drop Green and Inglis, move Khawaja to 5, leave Carey at 6 and play Webster at 7.

 

[Frank McWilliams]

All out, disappointed with the score, thought we would be closer to 500 and shut them out of game.
Big chase but I guess anything is possible.

It gives them some hope, they may try to play bazball again.

The highest successful run chase at the Adelaide Oval is 315 and that was 123 years ago. The next highest is 239, back in 1982.

5-0 is very much on; and it's a glorious, beautiful thing.

 

[Battler]

Ben Duckett has looked all at sea since he got here. He's now averaging 16 across the first three matches.

 

[Lefty]

Excellent spell by Lyon, 2 key wickets!
