*Official Third Test at Edgbaston

[Demolition Man]

Whats the matter with Ian Bell ?? Why has he been off the field so long ??

 

[pasag]

FFS. Went to mow lawn to ease nerves & no wickets have fallen. Utter waste of time, except for the cut grass, obv.

Draw now. Time to call it.

Still time for one last roll of the dice for Eng.

You mean the second new ball they are currently using ??

Nice 50 from snork there !

 

[Nate]

Snorks with teh fifty.

 

[andyc]

Surely the draw is pretty much a certainty now; even if Australia somehow loses its last 6 wickets in the next 10 overs, England will still be looking at about 160 with only 32 overs to go.

Speaking of Panesar he's actually batting at 9 for Northants...

Still looking no better than Boje with the ball.

Shagging Nadia, I hear.

 

[Demolition Man]

Why on the sky sports wagon wheel have they computerised some of the cars in the car park on the aerial image ??, makes no sense at all. Sure CGI the stadium but half the cars in the car park, simply madness.

That cover drive by Norf = SOTD

 

[pasag]

Have never seen North play this well. And he's done it in pretty tough conditions match wise.

His roots have grown out. He's having a quick colour and blow...dry.

Good 50's for both Clarke and North, both have done a very good job in ensuring that they guide us towards safety.

I agree with social's assessment of North as a batsman, seems to be a dodgy starters and hence plays a few false shots when not set, could be Ashes pressure, because whenever I have seen him play for WA he has generally looked a pretty assured and composed batsman.

This was my initial thought. He looks more like some sort of ferret these days than the sherminator

 

[Demolition Man]

100 partnership, 2 good knocks but have to say impressed with North, well more relieved he doesn't look out of form at all, looks confident and settled. Good signs.

 

[four_or_six]

Four very very good fifties in this innings for Australia. Credit to them for the team effort in their batting, and for not leaving it to the debutant no.7 and bowlers.

Bring on Leeds.

 

[pasag]

Some bowlers will be bowling for their spot later on today you'd imagine with Lee and Clark both 'fit' and ready to go. Think Hauritz may be unlucky come Headingley which would be a big mistake.

 

[Redbacks]

If Manou gets a hit, hoepfully he can slog a 30 odd which should see us into a safe territory

You're expecting to bowl? Unlikely I reckon. What time can it be called off as a draw?
