Just thought I would mention an excellent win by S.Africa to even up the series. The Wanderers is an awesome venue and gives batters and boers a fair crack. Pretty decent golf course right next to it too.

[sir roger]

Bound to win if only boers were allowed.

It's worrying that I was advocating for Bairstow to be in the side just because he doesn't look scared and actually believes he can make a score. We are in tallest midget territory

 

But at face value, a pretty excellent 100.

 

As good an innings as played by anyone in the series I think.

 

 

[Jairzinho]

Khawaja playing like peak Lara. 

 

Declaration imminent you'd imagine, which I think would give us about 15/20 overs to bat this evening. 

 

More than enough time for us to be six down. 

[Jairzinho]

Interviews at drinks...fucking hell. Fuck off.

Yeah, every time England even get a sniff of not being absolutely shit, they either let the game drift, or Australia just hammer the nail in.

Pat Cummins going with the English style declaration here though.

Carey must be made up. 

 

Could have declared an hour ago, or after lunch tomorrow, not sure it'll make much difference. Unless it pisses it down, we're getting bummed.

I’m going for the Crawley double century. Mark Wood with a 6 off his helmet for the winning runs.

[s(k)aturation]

 

I'm going a draw.

Weather forecast is horrendous and the bookies are going 8/15 the draw. With my betting prowess I  might make the draw almost certain by putting a tenner on the Aussies at 6/4.

I know it's really worrying isn't it? Only a day for us to lose it - I'm not sure there's enough time left for us to fuck it up, unless the lads work really hard to maintain our 100% record.

Ye of little faith.

 

If it's dry for an hour...

Practicing flippers in the nets.  Hit four out of five.

not a chance this England team bat out the final day. Bunch of gutless cunts (batters bot bowlers)

I think it is the weather that is making them confident , GC , according to the BBC Weather app the chance of rain is over 35% every single hour of today.

[lifetime fan]

And that’s 4-0…

[Tj hooker]

Surely that's Butler finished at test match level this team needs a complete overhaul 

[Mudface]

Five overs left to get 128 runs- BELIEVE.

[Remmie]

FFS I am starting to believe now, I've doomed us

[Brownie]

This will be the most gut-wrenching defeat of the lot.

[Mudface]

Woohoo, no 5-0 for these cunts.

[Rico1304]

Never in doubt. 

[Remmie]

Well that was tense for a draw in an already lost series. Fuckin' Jimmy
