We need Barstow in there, he is on form!

Bairstow or James Taylor would fit nicely.

 

[Macca]

The players we have are capable but mentally frail as will any other player they bring in. It's a long established problem

Now onto the true home of cricket, I hop the Aussies who are fielding on the boundary have got their ear plugs in as they will be getting a bit for the first couple of days at least.

I've got tickets for days 4 and 5 in the Eric Hollies stand and can guarantee there'll be no holding back on that front!

(This is making the wild presumption it goes past 3 days..)

Hoping for a win...dreading another devastating loss...predicting a draw with a few rain delays

Good start first Aussie wicket down 7-1

 

[Captain Dart]

It gets better

18 - for 2 wickets after 9.1 overs

 

[Otis]

Now 3 down.

Thank God for grass! :claping hands:

 

[Captain Dart]

34 - for 3 wickets (11.4 overs) :claping hands:

Steve Finn, he's the man!

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Seems like they had the rain break at 38-3 came back in and it's like a different wicket big session this could easily go into tea 190-3 or 170-7

 

[lifeskyblue]

A good start. Come on England. Let's take at least two this afternoon

It's as if Lords never happened.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Still long way to go. 1st test we lost early wickets but recovered to win

[Otis]

You were saying?

This is why there should be a test at Edgbaston every series!

 

[Captain Dart]

34 - for 3 wickets (11.4 overs) :claping hands:

Steve Finn, he's the man!

First innings 102 - for 7 wickets (30.1 overs)


Changed my mind, Anderson got 5 of them wickets!

 

[Otis]

9 down now.

Should be all out for 130.

 

[Otis]

I would then expect an England lead of 20.

 

[chiefdave]

The Aussies must have been out on the piss last night or something!

Century from Ian Bell would do nicely tomorrow.

 

[lifeskyblue]

If someone like bell could stick around and make a 100+ then we could carry forward a big lead. Ahhhh I'm dreaming again

Bell out, more yobbish footballer type behaviour, that shitbag Warner this time

Didn't see that. What did he do?

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Didn't see that. What did he do?

He said ".......Belly" couldn't quite be 100% what!

That innings was classic Bell!

Only 'he' was going to get himself out.

Warner is a disgusting little character and in a team of scum bags he is the leading one.

Bell needs to keep calm when Lyon comes on and stop trying to hit him out the attack and just milk him for three or four an over.
