brook should have done better with that catch to

Look at the guilty nod as Carey approaches Cummins

Got to keep believing. Yes, they’ve got runs on the board but we do need 2 quick wickets then bat for 2 days to get some kind of lead. Lyon could be key for them today, he is the leading test wicket taker at this ground. Forecast 40 degrees today so that should test the likes of Starc and Cummins. Important to initially get through Starcs first over and hopefully some of the batters have learned from the mistakes from the first 2 tests.
 

Saw quite a few at the game from Bolton yesterday. Bumped into Bobby Brno and his lad in a bar in the city after the game. Highest ever attendance for a cricket match at the Adelaide Oval, 56,298.

Adelaide is a lovely city, enjoy. Try and get to Barossa especially if you like a glass of red.

But for lack of work opportunities, the one you'd likely choose to live in.

Delightful stretch up from Glenelg through the likes of Henley and up to Semaphore.

A couple of my mates have gone out there, they bought tickets for the 1st and 3rd day of each test - they're already looking to shift their tickets for the final two matches, so they can spend more time exploring, rather than watching us get absolutely pummelled

So far, they said the trip is absolutely amazing, and they're having a great time, the cricket is just embarrassing though. They also said, and I'm not surprised, that the majority of the "barmy army"  are incredibly boorish middle aged nonce types, so they're trying to keep away from them, but apparently there are absolutely loads of them, everywhere 😁

Interested to get @bolty58 take on this now?

[L/H White]

Ashes surrendered in just 11 days worth of cricket

Will we still avoid 5-0 @bolty58

You tell me. I offered you 1 point more than any bookmaker would.

[L/H White]

just fold the test team and stick to the short format stuff imo

More days of drinking in Brisbane than actual days of test cricket, superb 😀

Hope they went to Felons at least, what a place.

[BobyBrno]

5 great days of cricket but a disappointing result. Another record breaking attendance for a Test Match. We go again in Melbourne. 👍🏏
