*Official Third Test at Edgbaston

[GIMH]

Both bats looking settled now for me. That was a fine shot.

 

[pasag]

Settle down Kat. Don't need another 2 fours and out here.

 

[Prince EWS]

Big moment for Australia, taking a risk by not checking the stats but I believe Watson is the first Aussie allrounder to bat higher than number six since the legendary Keith Miller...

Bevan?

 

[Prince EWS]

When he comes out a long way and tries to smother the block? Yeah, that happens to me as well actually, I try to smother it more because I'm naturally poor against spin. Maybe it's similar in regards to Watto.

Haha yeah, same, that's why I noticed it.

 

[pasag]

ugly

 

[Adamc]

Yeah, Bevan and AB both have Test ten-fors. Part time allrounders, perhaps.

 

[GIMH]

**** me, what was that?

Verbals between Jim and Shane.

That one, not so much. Interesting.

 

[four_or_six]

**** me, what was that?

Verbals between Jim and Shane.

Yum.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Haha Watto, has a thing for trying to pull Jimmy's half-volleys.

 

[GIMH]

Jimmy's looked much better than Freddie IMO, yet Freddie's stats far more credible so far. I'd change things up personally, batsmen are in

 

[Jamee999]

That's still quite a wet run-up.

 

[Prince EWS]

Big moment for Australia, taking a risk by not checking the stats but I believe Watson is the first Aussie allrounder to bat higher than number six since the legendary Keith Miller... of course I reckon he should move to number 3, with Ponting at 4 but oh well

Bevan?

Also, Greg Matthews opened the batting twice.

 

[GIMH]

Good stop from Onions, wondering how the outfield is for slides and what not

 

[pasag]

Jimmy's looked much better than Freddie IMO

Dunno about that. Jimmy's looked a bit nippier, though Fred a lot more accurate.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Dunno about that. Jimmy's looked a bit nippier, though Fred a lot more accurate.

He's way too short though, Watto's left almost everything on length which means he's probably too short.

 

[GIMH]

Dunno about that. Jimmy's looked a bit nippier, though Fred a lot more accurate.

Yeah suppose so, felt Jimmy has looked a bit more threatening though. Might be influenced by the fact that he could well have already had one wicket, and was highly impressed by his first couple of overs

Here's Onions, anyway, good

 

[Adamc]

Shane Watson and Ben Hilfenhaus both have the sort of look that suggests that they are just about to cry.

[Onions joke]

 

[pasag]

re Fred's injury, blame Strauss, IMO. Should have stood up to him once the damage was done on the fifth day of Lord's and let some of the other bowlers get rid of the tail.

 

[Prince EWS]

Hey Richard, what'd you make of that straight drive?
