It'll still be a hattrick ball, the next time he comes onto bowl.

Well aye, but it's not quite as dramatic is it 😅

I only saw highlights. Did Crawley and Hameed look comfortable until the close?

Are we really in a position to be cosy on that point?

Problem is, there’s little to zero chance of winning the game.

How are the batters going to approach their innings with a full day left? I don’t know if the XI has got the discipline to play a defensive game for a full day, but their natural game has been found wanting too.

It won't.  A hattrick can span two different innings but must take place in the same match.

If some of these batters had any backbone, they would go out of their way to deny the Aussies tomorrow.

Show some defiance, and set down a marker for the future, when we might actually be able to compete.

Hameed, Crawley, Malan and Root could all do with leaving a mark - the first 3 before they are eclipsed for ever.

No rain right now. If these two can bat for an hour I might have a slight glimmer of hope

It won't.  A hattrick can span two different innings but must take place in the same match.

To quote Steve Harmison who was on commentary at the time:

"He'll be on a hattrick ball, next time he goes out to play for England...be it in Hobart or the West Indies."

Statisticians might have their criteria, but quite simply 3 wickets in 3 balls is good enough for me.

Such a shame for Crawley. He looked great.

I imagine it will be an issue,, but I hope that silly review doesn’t bite us in the bum later.

How good was Crawley? Like a prime Michael Vaughan. He's in my team for the next two years.
