England v Australia - Third Ashes Test - Edgbeston
- Thread starter gaffs
- Start date
Manou Ciao!
fantastic morning but remember you can only judge a first innings when both teams have played,but still this is great stuff
Yeah it's nasty out there and if the Aussies can collapse like Sarkozy on a treadmill, we most definitely can.
God, I've been reading too much of the fecking annoying BBC online commentators and have started to sound like them.
who does the on-line stuff? im listening to tms with their talk of cakes etc
Some cnut on the BBC commentary just did it, only he cocked it up by spelling 'Chao' the correct way, thus losing the gag. What a cnut!
Sooooo, the Australian cricket team.
And who's missing. Stuart fecking Clark

feck me, check out the amount of reverse Anderson's getting. Great stuff.

Not sure Clark would have been much use preventing the batting collapse.
Gone!
Anderson five for.
Anderson five for.
I'm talking more in the bowling aspect. Even on a wicket like this Johnson will let runs fly.
Broad should be dropped for Harmison.
dropped by bopara
Bopara drops Hilfenhaus.
The Ashes battle is hotting up on the airwaves as well as the pitch after a falling out between Matthew Hayden and Geoff Boycott on the opening day at Edgbaston while working for Test Match Special. Hayden, who has joined for the rest of the summer, said Boycott's batting style "emptied cricket grounds" and Boycott promptly stormed out of the commentary box saying "don't need comments like that at my stage." They shook hands later, but the atmosphere is likely to be deliciously frosty
i heard on the radio that harmison does not have a good record at edgebaston

haydons been pretty good imo ,missed the earlier 'clash' though
I remember somebody asked what the number are on the players shirt.
This was on my orange update page and explanes it .
What do the numbers on the England's players jumpers beneath the crest represent?" asks Michael in Bradford. It's the number on which each player appears on the chronological list of all-time England Test players. Thus England's first ever Test team in 1877 were numbers 1-11 and Graham Onions, England's most recent recruit, is No.644.

right our turn to bat now fingers crossed
Let's hope our batter's can handle the conditions better than the Aussie's
Cook gone!
cook out.
ot oh spaghetti oh's
don't panic
Oh dear not what was needed.
To be fair, I thought I was being a tad clever.
Line and length is an issue for Australian bowlers, hence the need for Stuart Clark.
Siddle is bowling more leg side hoping for some reverse swing and its just not coming, the English batters will just pad it down to fine leg.

I dont want to curse him, but i fancy Bopara for a decent score. Hes going about his innings in the right way.
England couldn't even bowl the Ramsbottom CCC XI out until Lords, where has all this come from???? They destroyed the Ozzie, could have even been 30-40 runs worse off for the Ozzie. And they have the best batting line-up in the world IMO.
Onions reminds me of Glenn McGrath dare I say. Very similar bowling action. How Anderson can even bowl straight with his action is beyond me, but as long as he keeps swinging the fecker it doesn't really matter.

with our bowlers its all about confidence with it they are great without it no consistency.all or nothing with our lot.
is it just me, or is Ian Bell only second to Ricky Ponting as the player that needs a good smack in the head?

Rain or shine tomorrow please, one or the other. Overcast and I wouldn't bet for one minute against one of our traditional collapses.
