*Official Third Test at Edgbaston

[B.Scott4England]

Onions bags him

 

[Burgey]

Truly few top-order batsmen can piss away a start quite like Simon Katich.

Ponting booed to the wicket again, as the English show their class again. Can't wait til the soap-dodgers visit again next year.

 

[Demolition Man]

Did not need that, ball isnt doing much, ah well ricky needs to be there at the close to keeps things upright.

 

[Ikki]

Yuck.

 

[Pigeon]

Crowd booing Ponting to the crease. What a disgraceful bunch of ****ing morons.

 

[Ikki]

Got it to move in there, did Onions.

Ditto !

Hes bald hes bent his arse is up for rent its freddie flintoff freddie flintoff......

We've only got one song my arse !!

 

[Nate]

Really bad shot from Katich. No foot movement, played the ball in the wrong decision and picked a ball too short for the drive.

Afaic, he's just not an opening-batsman. Never has been.

Jaques and Watson ftw.

EDIT: Really distasteful from the crowd. By all means fire-up when Freddie is dominating, but a bit of respect for your opposition wouldn't go astray.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Yeah, disappointing to hear the boos. I blame the booze.

 

[Prince EWS]

Truly few top-order batsmen can piss away a start quite like Simon Katich.

Yet strangely, he's only the third best at doing so out of those involved in this game. That's what you get when you play England I suppose.

PHil would be there if not for injury, though I am concerned about watson, he does appear to want to smash every delivery and is holding himself back. If he can be moulded into a matty hayden type he could become invaluable !

Jaques... I kind of forgot about him. Looking at things now, what a huge loss he seems to be for Australia this series. He had an excellent start to his career and has bags of experience over here.

 

[Ikki]

Yeah, Katich to slot in for Hussey.

 

[Prince EWS]

That was plumb.

 

[Ikki]

Disgusting.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Seriously, if Hussey or North fail again is there a case for dropping one of them for Hughes and moving Katich down to 4?

That was out, wasn't it? Serious turn for Swann. Yup, in line. Dead.

& bowled! What a ball!!!!

 

[Pigeon]

Aussies can't even use the umpiring decisions to their advantage

 

[S Chanderpaul]

What a ****ing ball that is.

 

[Nate]

Fantastic nut from Swann.

Fly the Crayfish over statttttttttttttttttt

 

[four_or_six]

Fantastic delivery from Swann. Great to get Hussey in tonight.
