I just hope it ends up being very close.
Ashes I - 2013 - In England
- Thread starter ghaliboy
- Start date
This is it. Anderson with a new ball vs the lower order batsmen.
These abrupt cuts to how the batsmen got out in the first innings keep giving me heart attacks
Im shaking like a dog shitting peach seeds here...
was hoping we could of took a wicket before now, but these 2 look very settled.
It all depends if/when we get a wicket. One wicket in the next half hour here & they'll tumble, otherwise the Aussie's will win this.
Huuuuuuuuuuuge wicket.
Finally - things were starting to get very interesting until that. Now for another please!
Jimmy 
All over now
thats the one we needed.
The field for the new batsman is going to be very different I hope
Me
WOW that was close
Broad unlucky this morning
why the hell are the floodlights on !
another close one
Haddin and his expansive driving 
. I'd like to see Aus from here just go 'feck it lets go out like suckers and see if we can tee off and go close'. But that goes away from my 'dig in and don't do anything stupid' philosophy that has saved the Aus some real embarrassment here.

Lol ffs starc just hang the bat out there son, np.
get in there
Jimmy Anderson is just fantastic.
Brilliant by Anderson, just as it was starting to get nervy comes up with 2 wickets. Given Edgbaston Australia were 102 runs to go with 2 wickets to go, and given the last wicket stand here (Siddle and Pattinson can at least both bat to some extent) i'm not going to say its over but its extremely close.
2 excellent shots
dropped the catch
Cooky!
Is Anderson a fecking robot?
Unbelieveable effort today.

Off to watch the TDF good fight from the Aussies at least that was good to see.

I vote Agar as he turned this into a proper match.

Finn's been poor.

Very kind of Cook to try and make the game as tight as possible by introducing Finn into the bowling...
He should be banned from bowling when the opposition are 9 down.

12 points off three balls!
I kind of want Australia to win, because if England are the favourites that everyone says they are then it'll be nice to spice the series up with an Australia victory first.

Broads not bowled in ages. Why on earth would you go to Finn?
Wait, is the guy that just bowled and let the guy hit 15 the same guy that let him get 4 earlier on by standing there like a lemon? He seems a bit shit!
FFS why is Finn bowling
