[LIDDLE_TOWERS999]

HEAD GONE NOW FOR 7 👍💪👍

COME ON 💪💪💪💪💪😎🏏

[Mike Peeler]

Are we back in this, the way we bat a big score is reachable, that all said if it goes wrong we ill get hammered and it will look horrible.

We have it in us to chase 400 down, so the draw won't get played for, like it or not it's win or lose with us and 'bazball'

[Blott]

I would say we are 1/4 against winning.

[LIDDLE_TOWERS999]

WE CAN WIN THIS FUCKER IF 2 BATSMEN CAN SCORE OVER A TON 💪💪💪💪💪🏏

IT WILL BE HARD... BUT IT'S ACHIEVABLE 💪💪💪💪💪💪🏏

[Artie Fufkin]

It's crazy Lyon is out there, stupidity by the aussies, not bravery

[Mike Peeler]

Let's see how we handle the short stuff, it's going to take an adventurous batting innings from us, but we need to see some kind of discipline with the bat. at the same time

[LIDDLE_TOWERS999]

FUCK OFF CRAWLEY 😡😡😡

YA NOT GOOD ENOUGH YA FUCKING USELESS CUNT 👎👎👎😔

[LIDDLE_TOWERS999]

POPE ANOTHER WANKER NOT FIT FOR THE TEAM 😡😡😡

16 FOR 2   

[Artie Fufkin]

Thought we'd got back into it with a slim chance, albeit a big chase, but losing 2 early cheap wickets has buggered any chance now, it'll be lost by lunch tomorrow

[LIDDLE_TOWERS999]

ROOT OUT NOW 😡😡😡

32 FOR 3 👎👎👎

IT'S ALL OVER 

[Artie Fufkin]

At 60-4 this could be over in the remaining hour-ish of play left today

[LIDDLE_TOWERS999]

BIG SHAKE UP IN THE TEAM NEEDED FOR 3RD TEST... ABOUT 4 PLAYERS NOT WORTH THEIR PLACE 👎😡😡😡👎😔

I'D BRING IN LAWRENCE & WOAKES FOR POPE & CRAWLEY....

WE ALSO NEED A SPINNER FOR THE NEXT TEST... IF MOEEN ALI IS FIT ID BRING HIM BACK.... HE'S GOOD WITH THE BAT TOO 👍🏏👍

[Mike Peeler]

Thankfully we held it together late on, so technically are still in the game. As is often said the first session this morning is massive, you normally lose one or two wickets as par of the course. We cant really afford that at worse we can lose one. This test and, the Ashes for me now rest in the batting of Duckett, Stokes, and Johnny Bairstow.

Duckett needs to hang around and from Stokes and Bairstow need one or a couple of top whirlwind batting scores from them. I can't see it happening, but that's my take on matters.

The Aussie pace attack is top draw and don't see them throwing this one away.

We can have a whitewash on home soil and that's what the Aussies will be looking to do to us if they win this one

So you would drop 2 batsmen and bring in a bowler and bowling all rounder-strange decision
I would bring back Folkes as keeper,use Bairstow as a batsman
Depending on pitch either bring in Lawrence as spinner(Moeen is not a test bowler) or use Root as spinner

You are right about Ali, you can't trust his finger though after the carry-on last time out. The is too much at stake to be carrying passengers, that's if we get the win here.

It's looking good this morning with these two, I will be well impressed if these are still holding the innings together come lunch as its known in cricket, dinner to most of us

You haven't given any batsmen to replace them-Woakes and Lawrence definitely not top 4 batters
