Crazy not to have the POMs follow on with the pink ball in hand. Duh! Last day's play will be very interesting! |

What this "sport" needs is some powerful directional microphones, to pick up the chit-chat from the "sportsmen" on the Australian team. (May be both sides, but I'd say the Australians might have the better of it). They are at it continuously, and I'm tipping the content of it would curl the hair of a lot of people who "follow the cricket".

Went to the first three days, which was about all my time (not to mention my liver) could afford. Incredible stadium, amazing atmosphere, people from all over the world in a genuinely festive and positive atmosphere. Bit like the Melbourne Cup Carnival- you don’t even have to like cricket, though it certainly helps. If you ever get the chance...
Hopefully we now get the grandstand finish this match deserves, though suspect it might fizzle. Aussies by lunch. |

Your living on hope Judge. The atmosphere would have to be magic at such a place, agreed. Not a lot else to remember, except a crazy decision not to have the Poms follow on. Paint drying or grass growing covers test cricket well. |

Was told by someone today that a lot of the acrimony around the two teams today stems from Australian targeting Bairstow. Bairstow's father committed suicide when his son was 8, and it was the young son who found the body.
I'm informed the Aussies have been using this. Now I have no idea if this is correct but if true it's an incredible new low, and I sincerely hope it's not. If it is, I hope someone has the guts to come out and expose it.

That would indeed be a massive low. I can not believe they would stoop that low. I suspect if they were, England would be making far more of it than what has been made. |

If they were stooping that low I would have no issues if A Pom belted one of the Aussie players.

I remember a bloke telling me how he met a number of the West Indies team in the 70's or 80's Clive Lloyd plus some other big names. They didn't have much complimentary to say about the Aussie's antics.

There is shock in Australian cricket at a report of an alleged spot-fixing attempt on the third Ashes Test, which starts in Perth on Thursday.
The ICC has launched an investigation after officials visited the offices of London newspaper The Sun, which has published purported evidence of two bookmakers offering to sell details of rigged periods of play for betting purposes. |

Why on earth would a bookmaker sell details of a "fix" ?

Could be a hoax, it is being suggested, or it could refer to a 20/20 match

Just tried installing the cricket Australia live app to watch the cricket during my lunch break, they expect a payment ($6 day rate or $30 annually) not to bad I guess but I refuse to pay for something I can watch for free at home. When really I'm only going to watch 10 minutes here or there on my phone where's the value in paying?

Smith needs to get a Double Ton in this spot....
Eights to get his ton and then go for more. Needs to have this on his resume against the POMs. Last WACA pitch far from the pace that terrorized batsmen over years. |

Best Australian Batsman ever, is our Tommy Tugger Smith.
Terrible decision last test but 200 tomorrow and all is forgiven. |
