@nta I think the English bowling unit has more to offer than their batting unit. But, the Oz bowling unit trumps them - even without Hazelwood.

Not hard to be fair.

….but the English bowling attack is pretty decent it has to be said. The old boy has done bloody well.

@NTA what about Harris’s innings ? Enough to keep the wolves at bay for awhile ?

NTA

@mn5 I guess it has to.

Jeepers, Australia might actually not get much of a lead.

But still, huge pressure on the English top order as always and it’s doubtful both Labuschagne AND Smith will fall cheaply again.

NTA

@mn5 they will if they keep chasing wide shit like that

MN5

Anderson with four and Australia lead by 68.

I’m picking England will be two down before getting ahead again.

Optimist!!!

Is there a better Jaapies who don't play for SA team, than the Jaapies have?

We can contribute Wagner and Conway - and Watling can pull on the gloves.

Oz can put up Labuschagne and Neser and who knows who else.

Malan is not strictly a Jaapie, but doubtless eligible.

A fine display of cricket so far, with the first innings over...

Ozzie 267 all out

booboo

82 run lead. Coukd/should have been more.

NTA

82 run lead. Coukd/should have been more.

Could have also been a lot less

booboo

Cummins is an ok sort of bowler

NTA

Fuck me. Cummins looking unplayable.

booboo

That young leftie is reasonable too

NTA

Oh jeez that was Carey's. First slip too wide

NTA

That young leftie is reasonable too

Quite

NTA

Height will save him I think

NTA

Oh wait umpire's call in play

NTA

Jesus fuck that's a tough one but you can't stand on the crease and expect justice

Pepe

@nta Malan very unlucky
