Yep same for Leicester. We should be having thunderstorms right now and heavy rain but guess what.. It's sunny!

Flintoff bowling 94mph

 

[GiggsysGirl]

Didn't even hit his bat

Didn't that just make him LBW tho? Hawkeye seemed to think so and that was clearly what Jimmy was appealing as he was turned around and yelling before Strauss even had a hand on the ball.

 

[redtilded121]

lunch aus 22-2 put your feet up freeddie then get back at em

It's the Queen.

She don't like cricket, no, she loves it.

 

[Adzzz]

Freddie and Anderson bowling like demons this morning. Anderson has been very good this morning, considering Strauss went straight out. Keep it up lads.

 

[redtilded121]

long lunch today cos of the queen thing

Fair point , Harmison is doing very well at county level , but you are right we need not only him but Freddie at full fitness and I think Freddie is a bit short of that.

 

[redtilded121]

with freddie there is the constant worry over his fitness and hoping he is not over-bowled cos the others are not pulling their weight .so far so good for this test.

 

[redtilded121]

here we go lunch over

In fairness there was heavy rain and thunder in London last night and the early hours of this morning, apparently.

 

[Addict]

Heavy Rain

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Heavy Rain

Well t was expected ,the sky looks very dark and the rain is very heavy.
If it stops ,it can only be good for us ,the pitch will be damp and there will be some swing.

 

[gaffs]

Im a couple of miles for Lords. There no rain here.

 

[samabachan]

Apparently play due to begin at 2:40, although I can't see any sign of them winding down the highlights reel.

 

[redtilded121]

bout to restart

 

[zing]

from cricinfo,
Meanwhile, up at Trent Bridge, Steve Harmison is causing a whole heap of damage with 5 for 20. Rampaging form.

 

[FlawlessThaw]

Could see Harmison coming in for Broad who has been particularly unimpressive again. That's if the selectors would be willing to drop someone who they see as the future of the English attack.

Anyway another rain delay.

 

[redtilded121]

hope broad comes good

 

[Addict]

Broad has been useless so far

 

[pauldyson1uk]

the 2 Aussie batsmen seem to have settled down now are are beginning to knock it around.
Bowling could be a bit tighter.

Well he's cranked out 6 wckts for 20 runs today. Not picking him could really come back on us at Lords

 

[apple-shampoo]

107-3

Bowled by Onions, caught by Broad.

Katich gone.

 

[apple-shampoo]

Flintoff bowls Hussey.


114-4

 

[pauldyson1uk]

wow cracking stuff ,just what we needed before stumps a few wickets.
Get 3 more before the end and we will be in a good position for tommorows play.

 

[apple-shampoo]

Clark caught.

Bowled by Anderson, caught by Cook.

111-5

 

[redtilded121]

aussies collapse?
get in

 

[Addict]

Come on lads one or two more before the end of play

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Come on lads one or two more before the end of play

2 more before the end of day and keep them to under 200 would be fantatstic.
What is the follow on score they need to get?

 

[Addict]

Have it

 

[apple-shampoo]

139-6

Anderson bowls North.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

139-6 now looking good

 

[Count Duckula]

Wow, this is good, no? My friend was telling me that our score in the first innings wasn't very good, but this makes up for it, surely?

 

[utdalltheway]

have Anderson stay in the whole time

 

[pauldyson1uk]

keep this up and we could get them all out tonight .
