I shasre similar high hopes for Green but he could make 700 runs and take 30 wickets and he'd still have work to do to overtake Keith Miller.

Yes, that's who he has to take the mantle from.

Yeah, he'd be fairly long odds to shag a royal, or fly a fighter plane.

And play AFL and state footy.

Didn't he give footy away for cricket?

 

[The Big Richo]

Why is this only on channel 7?

Surely the pinnacle of test cricket should be available on pay TV as well.

And war.

Aussies going well. Will this count as runs in England for Warner?

 

[MD Jazz]

Like most fast bowlers the dunces of India have bowled too short on a pitch offering plenty of help.

Warner stiff he was doing well.

 

[spook]

I mozzed him.

 

[MD Jazz]

Smith is primed. Reckon he wants a 100 in a game like this on his CV

I meant Cam Green

 

[mainlandy]

Great ball to get Marnus out

 

[leon]

Broad is an idiot.

He just needs to check the history books or Wisden.

 

[tigerman]

A good middle session for Australia, 97 runs for the loss of 1 wicket.

 

[leon]

Wouldn't mind betting he's made the announcement to shore up his position.

What I would like to know - was it planned and drafted by Candice?

He certainly is getting settled in, but can't help but think he is walking across more than ever. The odd gestures and pantomimes are getting more pronounced by the year now.
But hope he gets that century. It's been a while ... and deserved.

didn't watch any of it but head 146 off 156 after Aus 3/76 and now 3/327
smith on 95 overnight off 227
251 run partnership
pretty amazing fightback
commentary says ball beat the bat a lot so maybe india unlucky too

is this a 1 match winner takes the title of best test team match? what is the outcome of a draw?

 

[tigerman]

Watched the first two sessions, was surprised that Jadeja wasn't brought on when Head came in. Jadeja didn't bowl until about the 40th over, Head was well and truly set then.

Two major errors by India: not picking Ashwin and sending Australia in.

Yes, and there's the possibility of day 6 if time is lost. If still a draw, dunno?

You'd assume the top of the table would win if it's a draw, I think that's India.

Looks like the best 5 day weather forecast in English history though so should be ok, even though they will lose half a day to the disgraceful over rates.

A brief look on google told me the under ICC rules, if it’s a drawn game then both teams will be declared joint champions
