They can concentrate on being professional sportswomen which they deserve.
have enjoyed this series as well
The last few women's games have been great. The Aussies just don't look like the formidable team they've been for such a long time.

Just watching West Indies v. India, the all-rounder Rahkeem Cornwall is some unit , 6”7 and 23 stone :kebab:

good shot at the wrong time in the game
Jimmy Anderson comes in for Ollie Robinson in the only change for Wednesdays test - I’d have been inclined to give the quicker Tongue a game one of the countries harder and bouncier pitches, but Anderson’s due a good game.
Moeen batting at three, I can see why that’s happening given it’s best to keep Brook at five, but I’d like to have seen Root move up one.
Root should definitely be at 3.
A shot to nothing for “The Beard that’s Feared” at three , if it comes off there could be quick runs on the board and puts pressure back on Australia.Quote:

I daresay there’ll be some talk on the English side about the format where the test match proves so important, but I think it’s fair enough, although I’d prefer the test match to be played last as that would stop one side getting a big lead early on and provide a great climax when the series is close.

England 122-1. Credit to Mooen for passing 50 at 3. Set it up nicely for Root at 4.
Really dont throw this away. If you get a good ball fair enough.
What a strange player Crawley is :hehe:

That’s the intention, they could quite conceivably be all out by the close , but with a total score of around 380Quote:

I think they will bat through , and get as many as possible in the shortest possible timeframeQuote:

With tomorrow the last likely day of play, surely the Aussies just need to play defensively and drag the day out? Match drawn = job done, then go for the outright win in the final test.
The death of Bazball was a bit premature then... :hehe:
Magnificent 189 from Crawley. Ball kept low England wont mind seeing that.
Crawley out for 189 off 182 balls.
Fantastic knock.
England 19 ahead with seven wickets remaining.
All this talk of when they might declare.
Keep the run rate up and England will lose wickets naturally.
Great day for the England spectators.
Root also out to ball thats kept low. No chance at all with that ball.
Could be another great day tomorrow. Need to get the lead to over 100 though and ideally over 150.
Kept even lower for rootQuote:

Short ball didnt get the expected bounce dragged on. Nowhere near as bad as Roots. That was unplayable.Quote:

Bairstow going bananas now- 94 off 77 balls. Bit surprised England have batted on this long, but Australia are looking pretty demoralised withEngland now 269 ahead.
