Kohlis last chance. He needs to perform vs s africans. Good luck with that though bud. Sorry I just don't see. Olivier nortje and rabada plus stuurman now. Philander clone for those conditions lmao. 

 

We aren't crossing 250 if it's spicy pitches and that's being generous. Both India and saffers have ruthless aggressive bowlers. It will be a battle between 2 weak batting units. Barring pant, rohit we have literally zero batsmen given injuries to Gill sundar.

 

Yeah, SA don't need spinners. They have a very strong pace attack even without Steyn.

As long as Australia get another 2 wickets before the final session tomorrow, they will win this game.

Poms can collapse easily in one session underlights with the pink ball at Adelaide.

[SRT100]

Game Over.

 

Australia win the 2nd Test vs England.

 

Just a formality, even if wicketless in two sessions, the last session will be unplayable with a new ball.

Pathetic from English. Is there any worst touring team there apart from them..

Oh wait.. the Meme lords Pakistan also have lot of gaffes there.

Eng/NZ/Pak all get smashed in Australia easily

And sri Lanka. They couldn't even compete against a Smith and Warner less Australia last time around.. 

[Jay]

new twist. Pakistanies reckon australia purposely lose to india in australia or atleast make it very competitive to ensure there are fans in the stadium. 

Most indians in australia are generally well off or above average in terms of wealth, so the attendance at the stadiums will be profitable.

And who the fukk cares about what they "reckon"? 

 

Of course, Pakistanis will find one way or another to soothe their pains of losing like minnows in a country where it's "enemy" won twice in a row.

Wanderers and Newlands are low scoring grounds.  Every ball will have your name on it. I am positive our seamers will deliver. It is the batsmen that worries me. Supersport park  is a tougher place to bowl. Can be unforgiving for bowlers especially if we bowl first. We need an additional bowler there. Vihari is an option there.

 

1) Supersport park, centurion

2) Wanderers, Jo burg

3) Newlands, Capetown

Lol makes no sense anyway haha. If anything they would want to crush ans humiliate us to even IPl contracts. Good performers get IPL contracts. Besides all Aussie test players are on 1- 3 Mil a year excluding bonuses rofl. They are filthy rich. No reason to accept bribes at all.

Yep. England 11 losses in last 12 games.

Pak never drew a test since 1996 rofl or something

Kiwis are phony number 1. Oh wait. That's gone too? They are just swing condition bullies. Even there they aren't invincible. They can be beaten ans have been ruthlessly beaten by Aussies and even saffers.

What is stokes doing 3 runs in 40 balls. There is no real purpose in his innings. They are without Cummins and Hazlewood. If he attacks their bowlers at least a couple of them they will have nowhere to run.

[vvvslaxman]

While i am wondering how the heck we lost a Test to this pathetic England home and away, i also wonder how the heck we won  2 tests with our middle order. Just that our negative force is not enough to lose more tests to England. Thank you bowlers (not for bowling) for your batting in crunch matches.

[Sean Bradley]

Ashes has been a borefest so far. The only question is whether the Aussies can drub this England side 5-0 or England will surprise us with a draw somewhere.

Spectators should demand refund on tickets  from ECB for wasting their money's to watch Haseeb Hameed & Rory Burns bat like deer caught in the headlamps. These two would have a hard time getting a ranji call up if they were in India.

he always bats like this. goes from gear 1 to gear 5 in tests, no middle ground. did it during that headingley innings as well as in the last innings.

[Serpico]

They need to attack Lyon. Once lyon loses his rhythm its not impossible to defend against inexperienced pace attack

England are still good at their home. They suck vs bounce and spin though
