*Official Third Test at Edgbaston

[chalky]

What has happened to Hoggard. Out of favour with selectors, injured or retired. Sorry about the stupid question by the way.

Got dropped after 1 bad game in New Zealand last year - a bit premature in my opinion.

Has to have upset someone I reckon. No other reason for any number of utterly useless bowlers being preferred to him since; there wasn't much good reason for Anderson to be preferred to him when he was either.

 

[Evilhoopler]

He didn't play badly against the aussies last time, only one that looked half a chance to trouble the australians.

Ricky Ponting looking good for a century IMO.

Arghh Bell so close

Arghh Bell so close

What's that in your avatar? It's so old and the colours so faded, and it's so small, I struggle to tell.

 

[Evilhoopler]

I don't think Broad or Onions have bowled well at all. Anderson and Flintoff have bowled well, Swann has been underbowled, The attack should be,

Flintoff
Anderson
Harmison
Hoggard
Swann

Swann's only problem is the fact that Strauss has no confidence or belief in him, he is not a great captain IMO, I'd prefer Collingwood or Flintoff as captain.

If he doesn't run himself out 1st (where is Gary Pratt when you need him)

Waqar Younis bowling Andrew Hudson (I think) with a typical inswinging yorker.

Hilarious thing is that Michael Vaughan, such a dreadful fielder, ran out someone else who was running with Ponting in 2005.

 

[Evilhoopler]

He gets out so suddenly when he is playing well, through the pull shot a lot of the time, though it is a very good shot of his, or driving. He also gets out to the spinners a lot.

 

[Burgey]

Australian supporters check to see if it's December 25 as Rudi calls a no-ball from Flintoff which was otherwise a very good shout.

He'd averaged high 30's or something for about 18 months before that

Thought it might be Waqar somehow and did look vaguely like a South African strip. Hudson though, ITSTL.

 

[duffer]

Disgusting shot.

 

[Evilhoopler]

*Ahem*

 

[Richard]

Who needs to run himself out when he can be bounced out?

Ricky Ponting looking good for a century IMO.
