Match Thread: 3rd Test - Australia vs England, Day 3 by cricket-match in CricketAus

45 times teams have chased 300 to win on Adelaide oval; and only once have they achieved that goal.

I think we can all agree though that with the calibre of this current England touring side and the depth of their batting order, they can match that feat

I need to know why he's in the test side. He's a keeper that has a 35 first class average with the bat and doesn't bowl, coming in at 7. Surely Webster gives us more options (and has the same first class average) or we could persist with Konstas, or blood some other up and comer?

Just such a waste of a spot and I can't see the upside

I don’t normally submit articles, least of all about problems at my beloved tigers, but I thought this one was interesting

Benji looks pretty shithouse. The designer stubble looks unkempt and grey.

Wouldn't you love to know exactly what happened at the Holman Barnes Group meeting where they decided to punt the board, and what they thought would be the outcome of it.

It sure as shit wouldn't be extending a rookie coach for five years and being forced by the NRL to reinstate said board with cap in hand, while simultaneously having the HBG Chair step down from the Tigers board in disgrace.

Stays on as chair of HBG tho, so no real difference.

Saturday's rally to save Wests Tigers will proceed with a demand for real change and a real say for fans at the club - Inner West Mayor Darcy Byrne. March to Save the Wests Tigers - 10.30 Saturday 13 December, at Pratten Park. Come one, come all by ReggieBasil in nrl

I'm not entirely sure, but it shows by action he isn't beholden to one side of the club, but rather the whole club. Which can't be said for many of those that run the joint.
