*Official Third Test at Edgbaston

[pasag]

Well there's absolutey nothing happening and the game is dead; what exactly is there to talk about?

Only been 'dead' for about 20 minutes now. If roles were reversed and England was batting the place would be full as.

Glorious square drive by North, not one you see many guys play well. Hard not to over-hit it.

 

[Redbacks]

Outsinging the whole of Australia when 5-0 down says no.

And as far as I know, we're still 1-0 to the good.

moving the goal posts is an english crowd favourite past time

"where's you famous, where's your famous......."

LOL @ Bumble there. Has lost the plot.

Haha, I called for the straight jacket to a mate just as Athers was calling for the White Coat.

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.

Think only one of Lee or Clark would play at Headingley, and its also very likely the think-tank might sideline both of them for different reasons, and stick with the same XI.

Lee hasn't really had much of a bowl for weeks now, so that could go against him, and they have decided that Clark isn't good enough to play, for some reasons best known to them.

I personally though would only like make one change to the XI for the next test, and that would be bringing Clark in for Siddle.

I would go with that. Unfortunatly doubt it will happen though.

The perfect session for us, our best of the series so far.

Mate, we did decently enough at Cardiff too, but I guess by now that's a long forgotten memory...

The Ashes weren't on the line there, tbf.

 

[Burgey]

****ing annoyed all the rain in this Test has deprived us of enough time to win really.

Would love another session up our sleeves here - whack on another 50-70 in short order then put England in for some Adelaide-style gassing up.

What's the point in coming out after Tea? Why don't the captains just agree to finish the game...?

 

[Ikki]

Lads, what do you reckon is a good score to declare with and how many overs should we give the Poms to bat? Let's steal this.

Chance for some Test Centuries, or for the bowlers to push their case forward, like Broad.

Can't call it off by agreement more than 30 minutes early UIM.

No chance. Pitch is playing too well.

Mate, send a reply:

Suggestion from Burgey: No more fanboyism in the commentary box once things don't go England's way. And anyway, if there wasn't a roller after the game started, England would be ****ting themselves now being 180 behind batting last. GAGF.
