I was present yesterday and will be today , having watched Australia 🇦🇺 collapse on Thursday morning I am just grateful there is going to be play today,feared it would be over in 3 days.
IF Smith goes early the rest will follow setting up an interesting 160 or so run chase.
Great atmosphere here yesterday and hopefully set up a great days play today. [Post edited 4 Aug 2019 7:18]

More like 260 to 300 barring a collapse |  |

220 will be tough.
Bizarre field setting now. |  | | |

Maybe Smith will relax when he gets 100 and make a mistake, the cheating dingo smeghead. | |

I know. He’s a great great player. I want him out but don’t want him out. | |

Plenty of time to admire his skills and class when he’s retired.
For now he’s an Aussie batsman (and a cheat at that) getting in our way.
Hope he goes and goes very quickly. Along with the rest of them.
This is competitive sport after all. No room for sentiment on the pitch or off it. |  |

Warwicks right though, sometimes you just have to applaud. I remember thinking the same when Liverpool done us 4-0 in the cup in 1982. We just couldn’t live with them on the day, and their football was excellent. Made it even better when we did beat them a month or so later.
This should really be a draw now unless Engo balls it up. Just got to come back at Smith next time and bowl better. Some of Roots bowling decisions have been a bit baffling to me, but I’m no cricket expert. | |

Smith making our bowlers look shÃte. Like watching us in the late 80's.... opposition batsmen treating us with impunity. |  | | |

As I said, I’ll applaud him in 10 years time or so. Just like I do with Warne now. Not then though!!!
Who is Engo??? | |

142! A lot of damage. We’re going to be chasing 325+ probably. Batsmen are going to face up to the task. | |

They won’t chase that many and will probably try to bat out the draw. Bit of weather around later today and tomorrow as well. [Post edited 4 Aug 2019 15:32]

Probably the right decision but it’s the same as defending deep in football - dangerous! | |

Was a pleasure to watch that innings.
Fingers crossed Paine gets himself in now and piles the hurt onto England. Pitch is still doing a bit so Ozzie bowlers will fancy it as long as they have runs behind them. |  | | |

Just a 20 % chance of a shower tmrw. This is the Aussies to lose now. Game over I think. |  | | |

What a shot to bring your 100 up.

Yep, hard to disagree.
They’ll stick us in with c. 10 to go and probably end up with a wicket or two. Then we’ll throw it away tomorrow.
They’re far more robust than us mentally unfortunately. | |

Another caught behind not given by the umpires! They’ve got an awful lot wrong this Test. That said, we didn’t appeal that enthusiastically.
Won’t matter in the long run because a declaration will be made in the next 30-40 mins I’d say. | |

Just declared. Superb effort by the Aussies today. Proper test for our flakey top order now. | |

Outstanding to watch.
I want to see pure hostility in these last few overs now. Weak between the ears these lot. | | | |

I don’t think they’re mentally frail but technique at Test level is questionable. They can do it though as they showed in the first innings. | |

In fairness they’ve negotiated those last few overs well.
What Siddle was up too for his two overs I do not know though. | | | |

Well I hope they prove you right and me wrong.
To be fair, they did well in the overs they had to face. Quite positive, but it’s going to be a long day tomorrow. 🤞 | |

They’ve been proving you wrong all summer so let’s hope tomorrow is no different.  | |
