*Official* Fourth Test at Headingley

[Craig]

I have no idea how you English fans are able to watch this Test if you are so pessimistic.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I have the impression that in your eyes that Strauss is a modern day version of Douglas Jardine.

I think it's more a case that he's not Australian.

 

[Jamee999]

Clark's playing? DISLIKE.

 

[Pizzorno]

You can hardly blame us for being pessimistic when our tail starts at 3 and we still insist on picking Stuart Broad.

 

[TT Boy]

I can't believe England are playing five bowlers and have Broad coming in at 7. You are one up in the series, the extra batsman has to play, particularly when you have two ordinary middle order batsman in the side.

 

[Ikki]

Anybody else find Warne annoying? He constantly whinges about the same things, its either about poor umpiring (last test Rudi, now hes been bitching about Billy all morning) or Bopara.

No. Reckon he is spot on usually.

It takes lots of practice, and with the England selectors constantly bungling things up, we've got plenty of it.

 

[DIRK-NANNES]

More like Ravi to hit one straight to gully.

And be dropped, with a throw at the stumps adding overthrows to the total

Starts at 2 to be honest.

No.

So, England replaced Flintoff with Harmison, no Pietersen, the longest tail in recent memory on a cloudy overcast and decide to bat?

Wait, what?

 

[social]

Woeful shot

 

[TT Boy]

Ravi.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Bopara. Get a spine, get a technique, **** off back to Essex in the meantime.

 

[Johnners]

Haus!

 

[slippyslip]

Woeful shot

Is England having a brain explosion ... Barry Hall style?

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Tailenders shot from Bopara. Not good enough, but keep him in the side thanks.

 

[Pizzorno]

More like Ravi to hit one straight to gully.

I called it.

Set of absolute bottlers the lot of them.

 

[Shaggy Alfresco]

Atrocious. There's the Ashes.

 

[Burgey]

Ooh, that was a no-ball too. My ****ing heart bleeds for England here.

And the wicket fell in the sunshine. Apparently that isn't supposed to happen either.

 

[tooextracool]

No.

Err the sun is out and the forecast is good for the entire game.
