*Official* Fourth Test at Headingley

[GIMH]

Onions should be looking at a nice central contract sometime soon. Will be in the team for some time to come I reckon.

Already got one a week back didn't he?

Just looked this up, he got an incremental. I completely missed that. Reckon he'll get a full contract when they do them in September, though.

 

[Demolition Man]

Lovely shot from Cook, off his pads.

Issue that needs to be brought up is the declining standards of helmets. Strauss' GN one, Boucher's GM lid, and the Puma one that Flintoff dons are all bloody shockers. Strauss' makes him look like Mr Plod from Noddy, with the big tube on top of his head. Should really only be Masuri or Albion helmets worldwide, the rest are pretty bloody rubbish.

Yes have to say the english lids have been disgraceful, particuliary all this pink foam here, fluro yellow foam there bollocks.

Strauss looking great here

Typical Aussies, no-one saying anything when the game isn't going their way.

Strauss looking great here

This Test match is following almost the same script my Test match in AC09 followed. If so, expect a 150 from Strauss before he gets tempted by a short ball.

EDIT: Cook to get out at 31.

 

[Johnners]

Johnners will get 2 before the day's out.

Johnners will get 2 before the day's out.

North will get the only wicket of the day.

Yeahhhhh the Hilf!

 

[Ikki]

Hahaha!

 

[Nate]

YEAHHHHH BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII z

EDIT: Haha, Ian Bell for the hat-trick. Surely. Poke at it?

 

[Jamee999]

Oh Jesus Christ. Inside edge, Ravi gone.

 

[Mr_Cricket]

pack your bags bopara and good bye england

 

[wpdavid]

2 gone now, which will please the Bopara haters. Probably the last we'll see of him at this level for a while.

 

[Shaggy Alfresco]

Awful decision they're saying on TMS

 

[Nate]

Haha, the Hilf. WAG, MOTS, etc.

 

[wpdavid]

Awful decision they're saying on TMS

Usually the way when you're struggling

As I said earluier' we've been so ****e for the first two innings that we couldn't complain if the umpires saw off the last 8.

 

[King Pietersen]

2 gone now, which will please the Bopara haters. Probably the last we'll see of him at this level for a while.

Doubt it. He'll play at the Oval I reckon. Be dumped when he fails there.

Ian Bell's just the guy we want coming in at this situation.......

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Would be horrible for Bopara to go out on that. Give him another test.

 

[superkingdave]

Bad decisions don't really matter, England are going to lose anyway /Richard mode

But in reality it wasn't as if Ravi was going to last long in any case
