*Official* Third Test at Edgbaston

[Spark]

Here we go...

3 in the over.

 

[Uppercut]

I hope Manee's okay after that over from Sree.

 

[Cevno]

Sreesanth has begin to offficially lose it again.

****ing living of South Africa series for too long now.

 

[Manee]

I thought he was decent in the tests in the West Indies and very good in ODI's.

He bowled very well in the ODIs. In the Tests, he cashed in on West Indies' inability to play spin.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nice 50 Cook.

Back to form now and cashing in against a poor attack. About time he got another ton, been a while.

 

[smash84]

150 up for England

 

[Manee]

I hope Manee's okay after that over from Sree.

I'm trying to revise about stem cell research (while following on Cricinfo) but doing so with a pulse which I'm sure is approaching around 200 is pretty difficult.

 

[Cevno]

I hope Manee's okay after that over from Sree.

More hoping his TV screen is okay.

must be coming with another of his gems I think

 

[Cevno]

haha......yeah....I can't blame Manee...........I've been there done that with our team but I wasn't half as eloquent

Gonna try some SS and Jono style reverse jinxing soon, before i officialy give up and start watching something else

 

[smash84]

I think Manee is Teja reincarnate.........might also explain the Sree hate

 

[Spark]

This is exactly why the "bore them to a wicket" strategy just doesn't work vs. these two.

no anti-jinxing looks good enough for the spell that India seem to b e under

Really think people are being harsh. They've put some pressure on and taken a few edges. Yesterday England did the same and took wickets.

So far India haven't, but they'll only be 'unlucky' if they keep bowling well and remain unrewarded.

In the other games they've done this for an hour or so, before losing the plot.

This is what i'm talking about. An hour of tight, decent bowling is no use if it is followed by half an hour of pies.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Manee, does this spineless Indian performance make you want to tear your hair out?

Well atleast Sreesanth began to gift them boundary balls later than usual.

 

[Stapel]

Being inconsistent is one thing, but three no-balls in 1 over for overstepping..., that's just beign an imbecile.

haha.....that's cruel

lunch and England 157/0

 

[MW1304]

Run rate is fine now.

Did I see a sign that said "Alastair, shine my balls"?

 

[cover drive man]

Looking like England's best opening partnership to an innings in a fair while.
