[Willlow]

Bopara is so frustrating, just as you think he has played himself in he gets out to a simple ball!

 

[Nottingham Fox]

bell in....

bell end more like!

Good Birthday Jon? Was it 40 or 50, couldn't remember :icon_wink

 

[Lako42]

[glyn]

Piss off home and stop wasting our time.

Great stuff today by England. Shame it's going to rain all day tomorrow.

[Brauny Blue]

Declare !!!!!!!!!

 

[Jeff]

England 376 all out

 

[glyn]

Great couple of sessions. Freddie and Broad batted brilliantly, and Freddie's dismissal was harsh in the extreme. If we get them 3 or 4 down tonight would be good, there are still loads of overs to go

 

[Brauny Blue]

C'mon England

 

[Brauny Blue]

Aus 88 for 2 at the close.

I predict a draw, but England still have a decent chance if they can get an early wicket.

 

[H T B]

Weather prospects for tomorrow don't look brilliant and the pitch wont take much more water. Draw seems most likely outcome, but you never know...

Good knock by Broad, wonder if he can see the opportunity to step into Freddies shoes as a proper all rounder.

Forecast said it should be dry, but I expect there will be one or two showers. They have 98 overs to play though

Good knock by Broad, wonder if he can see the opportunity to step into Freddies shoes as a proper all rounder.

He'll need to start taking wickets and stop bowling so many poor balls then. I would probably bring Sidebottom or Harmison in for him next test, he doesn't even look like taking wickets I'm afraid. Swann can step up to number 8 competently enough.

 

[Biff]

Last day off and running. Onions and Freddie open the bowling.

 

[Nottingham Fox]

Anderson takes the wicket of Watson. 141-3

 

[Redditch Fox]

...

Good knock by Broad, wonder if he can see the opportunity to step into Freddies shoes as a proper all rounder.

He started as a batter; turned into a bowler; then turned into a bowling-all rounder......and if he doesn't improve his bowling will finish as a batting-all rounder.

I wouldn't be surprised if he finshed batting at 6 or 7 at international level but I suspect that he would be better off if he concentrates on bowling line and length rather than seeing himself as an international strike bowler.

 

[Biff]

Hussey gone 161-4

 

[Durham Fox]

He started as a batter; turned into a bowler; then turned into a bowling-all rounder......and if he doesn't improve his bowling will finish as a batting-all rounder.

He's just claimed Husseys wicket
