Was gonna say, just checked Albany to Kununurra and it was 36hrs, 3365kms ๐Ÿ˜‚

Everyday astronaut did an interview with the founder earlier this year. I had no idea they were so close to getting something flying (even if only 30m off the ground). Fantastic achievement!

Probably speaks to not trusting Murphy ๐Ÿซค Hopefully doesn't backfire, though I do like the look of that batting order

Wobbly start but a nice rebuild by Smudge and Marnus. Let's hope they can go big, it looks like a nice batting track.

I wonder if they'll ever push a booster to failure, and the number of flights that will be!

Well can the Aussies defend 250, I get the feeling not but it would be lovely to wrap up the series with a tight win ๐Ÿซ

Absolute jaffa from Wood. Love watching him bowl even if he is a pom

These sorts of videos are great for getting the hype going for the next flight test! I think it will be incredible to see this live (assuming it gets to this point)

I'm nervous ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Well. The second session was completely absurd. While you can't deny the results, it felt like Bodyline V2. For a team that say they are there to "entertain", I was very much not entertained. I really hope this doesn't become the go-to strategy when things aren't going your way, but you get the feeling that it will become much more common after the "success" of day 4. It doesn't feel like a contest between bat and ball, the batsmen either constantly duck and score nothing, or take it on and inevitably hole out. I'm sure there are much smarter cricketing brains out there, but I can't see how you combat it ๐Ÿ™

On a more positive note, aus heavily in favour after the 3rd session. Though I won't feel entirely comfortable until Stokes is out. Shame about the Starc catch, but I think it was a fair call. Just feels like the umpires haven't been very consistent in how they apply the rules resulting in confusion everywhere.

A scintillating second session yesterday! The aussie batters did incredibly well to only be 2 down (courtesy of some Marnus luck). Uzzie a rock as usual. Warner may not have scored many, but soaked up a lot of balls, so not unhappy with that.

What do we reckon? A lead of 450 and put them in 10 minutes before tea?

Yeah eng have definitely had the pick of the conditions. A real testament to the aussies that we're still in a dominant position

 

We were so close to pulling off an unbelievable victory. We played all the cricket in the game. If it wasn't for us, the Australians wouldn't have even had a chance to win.

Seems like copium to me ๐Ÿ˜„

 
  • Khawaja is a rock
  • Captain Cummins has nerves of steel
  • All without Labushange or Smith firing

One for the ages!

A bit late to the party. The game is delicately poised after 2 days, with Ussie tonning up last night ๐Ÿ˜

 

And Moeen is in! The aussie batters are going to target him for sure

 

Winning by 209 runs. Travis Head is MOTM for his 163 in the first innings.
