*Official Third Test at Edgbaston

[Evilhoopler]

Dropped!

 

[pasag]

Very poor leaving from Clarke all day.

 

[Burgey]

And if they are worried about his match fitness, then why did they stop him from having a stint in CC early this year and instead take him on a tour where he was basically ignored

Their treatment of him has been totally illogical

Or worse.

Does the wicket seem a tad two-paced to anyone this morning? Seems the odd one really taking off (like the last one in Anderson's over) while others bouncing twice despite similar pace.

Also, the last few strides of the approaches here really are like the North Face, aren't they? I'd forgotten that from past tours.

Ooh Fred!! Clarke's FC average taking an absolute pummeling here.

 

[Adamc]

Shocker. Don't know what he's normally like, but Flintoff has been really slow to react in the slips in the last two matches. Not a huge fan of the hands on knees approach.

 

[Top_Cat]

Ohhh, shocking miss.

Also, agree with Andre, Huss's eyes are shot.

 

[chalky]

Shocker by Freddie

 

[Craig]

By rights Clarke should of been out twice to Onions.

 

[Evilhoopler]

Good point, but the selectors have realised that, with Hughes at least.

 

[Pizzorno]

Flintoff following Ponting's spirit of the game by shelling catches to give the batsman a second chance. I think it should be applauded tbh.

 

[Evilhoopler]

Very poor leaving from Clarke all day.

You could say it has been very good though?

Yeah Flintoff drops a lot more than people realise

 

[Pizzorno]

Michael Clarke's such a **** though; if there's any player I don't want to drop a catch too it's that smug tosser.

 

[Richard]

Yeah Flintoff drops a lot more than people realise

Has done of late at least; went through a spell where he barely dropped a thing.

 

[Top_Cat]

Andrew McDonald would have been lethal here.

Rubbish. He's crap.

</people who've barely seen him bowl>

Jimmeh ripping the ball off the deck, in-swinger to North coming.

 

[Wiglad]

Yeah Flintoff drops a lot more than people realise

really i'm struggling to remember his last proper drop.


Broads warming up

 

[Adamc]

You could say it has been very good though?

WTF. No you couldn't.

 

[Son Of Coco]

It isn't?

No.

 

[Richard]

Jimmeh ripping the ball off the deck, in-swinger to North coming.

Wish he could get a bowl at Clarke FFS.

 

[Evilhoopler]

Michael Clarke's such a **** though; if there's any player I don't want to drop a catch too it's that smug tosser.

And the guy that hails Jesus everytime he takes a wicket dropped it. The two biggest ego maniacs on the ground invlved in that piece of play. Too bad Pietersen isn't out there, he could've being bowling.

 

[Richard]

Time for the Broad Short Show now I guess.
