CRICKET WTC and Ashes Tour of England

[Sproj]

200 up and they are over halfway there but battling against 'Frankenball' (from Cricinfo and so true).

That's basically a new ball

 

[BroncosFever]

It's swinging off the deck nicely, isn't it @1910

 

[Sproj]

Less than 150 needed.

Comes out today Wood has a sore heel .

 

[ningnangnong]

He has dropped the ball.

 

[Galah]

Holy shit

 

[Sproj]

He has dropped the ball.

That is...indescribable. Imagine if they go on to lose, only himself to blame and he's the captain.

 

[Sproj]

And of all batsmen, you do that with Smith.

 

[BroncosFever]

Not watching the game but having just read the cricinfo analysis, that sounds absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Sproj]

On the stroke of lunch too. Wow.

Anyway, at lunch Australia needs 146 with 7 wickets in hand.

Not watching the game but having just read the cricinfo analysis, that sounds absolutely ridiculous.

He's basically caught it and then as he has gone to throw it up to celebrate, it has slipped out and he hasn't controlled it. Stokes knew it too.

He dropped Lyon when Aus won in that run chase too .
Hit his own leg and knocked the ball out .

Head throws hands at a wide one turning away and edges to first

Aus 4-269

 

[Allo]

And now Woakes squares Smith up and he edges to second slip

5-274

Marsh and Carey in fresh together

 

[Allo]

Marsh goes next over to Ali

Free-fall

6-274

 

[Allo]

Starc out the following over to Woakes

Aus 7-275

This is an all-time collapse

 

[Allo]

Yay we went an over without losing a wicket
