Wowee... :shock: Cummins gets Wood LBW!!

The captain has swung the match.

Odds: Draw 1.90, Oz 1.90, England 501.00.

Too late to get that 3.50. :wink:


Fleming and co are shocked... They don't think Cummins has an inswinger!


Draw is now slight favourite... But there's now plenty of time, isn't there?

The Flat-Track Bully drops a simple chance at slip!! :shock:

Will that cost Oz the win???

Starc is the unlucky bowler, Bairstow the lucky batter.

Bairstow's now batted for over 80 balls.

Wowee... the captain drags Oz back towards the win... and the ex-captain throws it all away...

Yes, it was. What are you talking about, Donny? The commentators agree with me. No way Mark Taylor or Mark Waugh would drop that ever.

What would you call simple, if not that?

If the slip does not need to move at all, then it's not simple, but a sitter. All he had to do was bend down a bit towards his right ankle.

........................................

Drinks have arrived... So it's now the last hour. Only 3 wickets needed.

Odds:
Draw 1.85, Oz 1.95, England 501.00.

Had he held that one, it wouldn't have survived a review.

What sort of review? It was way above ground.

............................................

Odds:
Draw 1.62, Oz 2.30, England 501.00.

Ponting told viewers this was the first time Cummins has taken two LBWs in the same innings! 8)

............................................

And now Oz burn another review... It wasn't a strong review. They're burning them two quickly. There are 12+ overs left and they're down to one.

Who cares? His brilliant catching in slips when it mattered helped to win them the series. As Donny said, give it a rest.

Boland gets Bairstow!

Oz's best batsman, Marny, takes the simple popup catch.

Ponting said just before that if they could just get Jonny, with only Broad and Anderson to come, it'd be game over...

We'll see...

Odds:
Oz 1.43, Draw 2.80, England 501.

Which catch was brilliant? That's an absurd description of regulation catches.

Carey's drop the other day was also very bad. Not a good slips cordon for Oz at the moment.

It’s plain enough from that senseless comment that you know nothing about cricket.

10 overs to survive. My heart says an Australian win is possible but my head says that it is probably going to end in a draw. Hedging my bets.
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!
