Am I the only one who hates Nathan Lyon just because of how he looks?
Ashes I - 2013 - In England
- Thread starter ghaliboy
- Start date
Anything over 250-260 IMO would be very difficult to chase.
I'm still not 100% convinced of Siddle.
Bresnan is a walking wicket against the new ball.
fecking hell, play that Bell. 
Well bowled Harris, fantastic nut to a new batsman.
Not much you can do against this new ball to be honest, I don't think England will be all too dissapointed seeing this. Excellent bowling by Harris (and Bird the over before) mind.
No, it's been simply unplayable you're right.
Uneven bounce, seaming round corners both ways, swinging it's a minefield with the new ball.
Wouldn't like to be walking out to open for Aus.
If they can see off the new ball they might have a chance but balls like the bell one will come out more often IMO for road and Bresnan.
This will be a grandstand finish.

All depends on Australia openers luck/skill, England get a look at Clarke with the new ball then they'll win, I think. Might even be worth him going down to 5 to give himself a chance.
Brennan could very well take the game away here
England will win this comfortably IMO. 100 run margin is my call.
Where's the point. Would have gone down his throat.
feck me. Vicious.Brilliant short ball.
This is one of those pitches that at club level you'd seriously think about reversing the order to protect the real batsmen.
Great ball.
Cracking test match this.

Harris going on an absolute mad one. Top drawer of the loco locker.
chaotic Cricket.I really hope the weather doesn't spoil this now.
Just bowl yorkers ...
14 off the over.
Glad to see they've learnt from the first innings, no point waiting around playing defensively and getting out for a few runs. Might as well go out playing shots and try and put as many onto the total as possible. Lead of 258 England would already have been happy with, not going to be an easy chase.
Yorkers.... Lads. Ffs...
Australia have bowled shite in the last few overs.
absolutely vital runs from Bresnan here.
Got away with a couple of juicy fruit's there Siddle.
So poor. Shows what hitting the shine off the ball can do. Hopefully if Warner gets out there he can just tee off and not shit around like he has done.
This is fecking fruit. Bowling rank shit outside off at a slappable height.

Watch Lyon get towelled here.
I can't believe Nathan Lyon is 25!
Brilliant runs from Bresnan but it's at an end. Under 300 and Aus really have nothing to lose and you'd hope will start balls to the wall.
7fa Harris take a fkn bow.

Harris has been brilliant, put in a lot of effort.
