*Official Third Test at Edgbaston

[Jamee999]

SWANNEH Where is this coming from?

 

[Prince EWS]

That was plumb.

Heh, it actually wasn't, looking at the replay (although it was still out IMO, or rather should have been) but the next one is more convincing...

 

[Demolition Man]

****, im going to bed, rain scheduled for tomorrow, hopefully we get some payback for cardiff and then pick the best frigging side for the next test.

 

[Jarquis]

I wish I was Graeme Swann

 

[Jamee999]

I think the LBW appeal hit him outside the line, FWIW. Just.

 

[Demolition Man]

Seriously, if Hussey or North fail again is there a case for dropping one of them for Hughes and moving Katich down to 4?

That was out, wasn't it? Serious turn for Swann. Yup, in line. Dead.

& bowled! What a ball!!!!

Not really, as hughes appears to have more issues that either of them, forget about our batting, it was no issue at cardiff. We need stu clark into the side ASAP and if fit brett lee.

 

[Ikki]

If Hussey doesn't put in at least a 50 here, he can GAGF.

 

[Pigeon]

Perfect example of why Ponting used to struggle against another offie, a turbaned one. Drawn in too forward, sharp spin, gap between bat pad. deja vu 2001 India series.

No. Hit him in line. off and middle. Going to take out leg.

 

[Jamee999]

OMG! Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo close!!!!

Yeah, reasonable decision.

 

[Wiglad]

Happy Days

 

[Jamee999]

How many overs left tonight?

 

[Pigeon]

Good shot by Huss. Shouldn't be there had Onions been a tad quicker to react.

 

[Demolition Man]

Yeah, disappointing to hear the boos. I blame the booze.

I blame the English.

Needs to develop a way of combating the short pitched ball, yes. Clearly more of a player than North at least for my money tho. To be successful with his technique his eye must be amazing, frankly. Selectors panicked in dropping him IMHO.

& the top order has failed twice in two first digs since Cardiff, ftr.

 

[four_or_six]

Ponting only has 83 runs in four innings since his admittedly excellent knock in Cardiff.

 

[Jamee999]

Gorgeous line from Swann that last over.

 

[four_or_six]

How many overs left tonight?

Supposedly 15, but I presume it's going to be time rather than overs.
