*Official Third Test at Edgbaston

[Pizzorno]

And with that, the game is in Australia's hands.

Nice!

Johnson bowled well too in that short spell, good signs.

 

[NUFAN]

Great bowling by The Hilf.

I'm not too worried. We should be capable of putting at least another 100 on, it would be very brave of Ponting to declare in time to get England out without risking a defeat

 

[Pigeon]

****.

England looks good for 300. However if Prior clicks, 350-400 looks fine.

Dude you need to lighten up.

 

[Burgey]

Good session for our lads there. Just need the Tard out after lunch. Has to be said Colly never looked the business today - playing a long way from his body.

The Prior/Bell partnership is the big one. If they can somehow manage to level Australia's score then any run after that is a bonus. That's obviously a massive ask though, and personally I reckon we'll be bowled out trailing by about 30 or so.

No play for 43 hours. Then back for just one hour...followed by a 40 minute lunch break!!!

Put some sandwiches behind the stumps, and get on with the game FFS!

I think times like these, we can knock off at least 20 minutes.

Deffo 'Strayla's session. Hilfhenhaus bowled really well. Swing & bounce.

Bell needs to capitalise on the outrageous spawn he's had and go on here. Can't see anything but a draw, really, but then I'd have said the same thing at lunch on day4 at Cardiff.

Think someone's said if before, but wtf has Hoggy done to his hair? Looks like he's had a fight with a hedge & a pot of styling wax.

I'd say it's down to shock at the fact that Stuart Broad can get a game but he can't.

 

[GIMH]

I never get sick of the delivery from Harmy to Clarke

 

[Pizzorno]

I still bite my fingernails watching this.

 

[Neil Pickup]

If he'd have said it on the BBC he'd have been fined £500,000 and wouldn't have beee allowed to host Jonathan Ross for 3 months. Because we all know, 2 people writing in to complain to the BBC represents the whole country being in uproar.

If David Cameron can get away with it then I imagine Shane will be fine.

 

[GIMH]

Was about to say the same thing. Seen it 5 times in the last few weeks, that ball Giles stops close to the boundary...it's going for four every time surely.

And there's the win, phew.

Much prefer the proper commentary though.

 

[GIMH]

Loved it later on in 05 when Flintoff was asked what he said to Brett Lee at the end of the game.

"It's 1-1 you Aussie bastard!"
