The only way we escape here is two days are washed out. England will bat till lunch then declare. I’m not confident these children will stay focused enough to bat 2 sessions tomorrow.
England have completely outplayed Captain Planet for the better part of this series.
Very lucky to be 2-1 up.

Well, that was a car crash.

^ hope so.
We laughed at England saying they felt like they won the first test but should the rain ensure this one ends in a draw, England are very very stiff. They’ve played the better cricket.

Hopefully we've refocused overnight. If we can knock them over quickly, we have the batsmen to bat for 2 days and put the game away from England, IF they have the right focus.

Yes I will stick my neck out and predict that a combination of better Aus batting and the inclement weather will produce a draw. I hope I’m right

So hard to watch. Don’t see this shit in Australia. Every fielder on the fence.
Have no fear. Aussies will be 6 down overnight.

Aus 39/1 at tea. Rain is forecast for tomorrow so we need to bat until stumps and lose as few wickets as possible. I would like to see us 3 down or less.

Geez Warner has had bloody rotten luck on this tour. He was batting beautifully until he dragged one onto his stumps. I’m biased but I think he still has some good innings left in him. He’ll be back strong in the next test.
