The Ashes 2013.

353-9, Swann walks! Siddle with the wicket.

Could be great entertainment today.

Aussies need to score runs quickly.

They need to risk losing the test to try and win it.

Blocking and leaving is no use. A draw is pointless

England all out for 368, trailing by 159. Prior going.

Looking like Watson and Warner to open up.

[Rors]

Declare.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

if the aussie batting wasn't so poor the first two tests we would be losing this series, our batting has been poor and our bowling pedestrian.

[Rors]

Australia in tricky position here. They need to file a total lead safe enough to be in no danger of being caught, but with enough time to bowl England out as they have to win the match. Weather-permitting, we could therefore be looking at a Kofi-esque "controlled frenzy".

[Cripps_orig]

Bat for a session, get 100 up. Set 250 and then try and get England out ASAP before the rain hits.

Starting Warner is a good idea. I'm liking the flexibility of this Aussie side.

England wouldn't do that. They'd start with their plodders and get 100 in 4 odd sessions

[Rors]

'B'-time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Watson left out.

Rogers out there with Warner.
