England v Australia - Fourth Ashes Test - Headingley

Oh feck me, they replace one clueless twat umpiring with another.

I'm not a happy man this morning.

There was two noises which would've put some doubt in Bowdens mind.. but looking back on the replays it was an absolutely plum LBW. Would've been a fecking ace start for us if we could've got England in-form man :mad:
 
Strauss, Cook, Bopara, Collingwood, Bell.. that's it?

Seriously lightweight lineup, Aussies to win this test
 
England have shown some ambition by leaving out Trott despite Freddie's absence. Unfortunately that leaves our batting looking a bit suspect in terms of players in form.

Should make for a good game. It's nice to see that England aren't playing for a draw.
 
Broad at 7. Horrible batting line-up and Strauss gone already.
 
bopara's no number 3 swap places with bell at least he has experience playing there.
 
what I call 'nervous batting' anything on a decent length with our mentallity will get us out and rightly Ponting's got his bowlers doing that

Overall Decent bowling - poor batting.

You'll always get some poor shots but we really needed a bit of defensive 'sticking around batting' is the order of the day on the first morning at Headingley - should be only a wicket down imo

See off the new ball and then start getting some runs but they've come out and looked like rabits in the headlights just waiting to get smashed.

it's not as if they're up against Lillee and Thomson is it fsakes
 
Great start by the Aussies.... Aussie win now into 1.34 on BF
 
fecks sake.

1-1 - winner takes all in the 5th test.
 
This could be wrapped up by Sunday at this rate. God help those with tickets for Monday & Tuesday
 
5 down, Aussies will bat for two days and get about 700 for 3 declared, then England all out for 55 and Bopara will get 2.
