*Official Third Test at Edgbaston

[Craig]

Johnson gone, but looks high to me. Gotta see Hawkeye again.

He didn't offer a shot, he got what he deserved.

 

[Pizzorno]

Ha I love Shane Warne "Looke a tad high but if you don't play a shot, on yer bike".

 

[Ikki]

Yep, I am right again. Rudi is having a ****ing stinker. These were two easily spotted not-outs in real-time.

 

[pasag]

Whenever the English take a wicket, you fall in love.

Yeah, he's horrible.

 

[Evilhoopler]

Where is the love for JIMMEH?

 

[Top_Cat]

He didn't offer a shot, he got what he deserved.

Total crap if it's not-out FFS.

 

[Pizzorno]

Our worst session in recent memory. Fair play to England, have bowled VERY well, but we've bottled it so badly. Bunch of ****s can GAGF.

If you think this is bottling, just wait till you see Ian Bell later today.

Tbh, only Onions has looked consistently threatening whilst Fred and Jimmy largely wasted the conditions

 

[Uppercut]

Hah, another Aussie bat Koertzened.

Yeah, some very poor umpiring today.

 

[Top_Cat]

If there's any light in the tunnel here, Manou bats really well with the tail (as he so often has to do for SA.....).

 

[Johnners]

He didn't offer a shot, he got what he deserved.

 

[Ikki]

4 gifted wickets TBF. 2 from our own batsmen and 2 from Rudi.

 

[Evilhoopler]

AND Bopara.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Gee I hope Johnson's bowling is 1000 times better in this test...we need it to be. We should find out soon.

 

[oitoitoi]

Nice bowling from Anderson and Onions, but wtf are australia doing? Chasing wide ones and leaving straight balls, awful, just awful. Thought Clarke was pretty unlucky, but Johnson can't expect the benefit of the doubt when leaving a straight one. Top catch from Prior before. What happened to the featherbed we all heard about? Still think Stuart Clark should be playing over horrible hauritz.

 

[Jamee999]

If Johnson's leaving balls like that, he's not making double figures - you can't leave balls like that on length in this country.

 

[Top_Cat]

Fair play, though. Top nut from Jimmeh. Is hooping it right now.

 

[Evilhoopler]

Hope this happens to England, if not, Australia will hand back the Ashes on a gold laden plate.

 

[Craig]

Would you say the same thing if it was Johnson bowling and it was Strauss batting? Anyway why couldn't he have used his bat?

 

[Richard]

If there's any light in the tunnel here, Manou bats really well with the tail (as he so often has to do for SA.....).

Would be quite happy to see him left on 22* or so with Hauritz, Siddle and Hilfenhaus stump-shattered. Ideally by some big Flintoff inswingers.
