Aussies are stunned by this complete 180 batting from pommies.

 

Actually they will want to take  a lead of 150 and have a crak in the evening.

Most of the dismissals were due to atrocious shots. Ollie pope was trying desperately get out so many times before succumbing to it. There was nothing unplayable there.

It was due to uneven bounce and a bit of lateral movement. 

 

There is a reason why wickets fall in clusters at night against the new ball

I saw that lol those caught and bowleds were pure atrocious shots and also Pope  gets out exactly like that even in non-pink tests. Gilly didn't hold back while calling them irresponsible.

They need atleast 150 runs and KL Rahul has to open for australia.

150 looks quite possible and declare with 20-25 overs left today in the last session, you get Australia 5 down today and a good chance to win. Under lights with a new ball, i can see a collapse for Australia and pitch has started to deteriorate. But i am not sure if england bowlers are fit enough to run through australia as well.

Who is going to exploit that?  Austrtalia has the pink ball specialist batsman Labu. We got bowl in pink ball test in the evening. We struggled big time to pick a wicket. That too we were bowling to dud like Mcsweeney

At this point I am 100% sure they just throw darts at the board randomly when it comes to venue selection, schedules. Be happy we don't have a stadium in Cherrapunji yet. 

 

Any chance of snowfall in Dharamsala @Lone Wolf? I am rooting for that to happen. 

 

Imagine the scenes if we get this, BCCI deserves only humiliation. 

 

Dharamshala Cricket Ground in winter : r/Cricket

Post Christmas is the usual when we see Snowfall of this level.

Early December is still fine.

Not sure if its their differing roles bit Neser has been extremely accurate at 64 % deliveries on good length and in the channel.  Doggett at 13 % has been the least accurate. 

 

Boland hasn't been his usual metronomic self either.
