Cerrertonia Jul 2023 12:33pm, 21 Jul 2023 19,274 posts	0 Cerrertonia I reckon Australia will be pretty happy with the morning so far. There's probably no more than a day and half of play left to come, and they've kept England down to 38 runs from the last 10 overs, so probably less than a day to bat out by the time England get ~250 ahead.

His England u-19s sponsored car was quite the draw for young ladies, but he dd occasionally find time to much about with a bat on the rough, bumpy lawn outside, although I don't remember him ever getting out.
Derby Tup Jul 2023 12:37pm, 21 Jul 2023 60,559 posts	0 Derby Tup I think England will win the test, and relatively easily. Obviously they still cock up and lose the fifth test though

Haven't seen much swing, or the pitch doing anything funny, but it seems a reasonable explanation as to why England are scoring so much more slowly than yesterday evening.
