70-4 to 270 all out is pretty standard isn't it? You'd be disappointed at 70-4 at anything less than 250 still. Aussies will be disappointed with that total, they could have batted England out of the game if Haddin/Rogers batted for an hour more than they did.

Mate, you watched it yesterday didn't you? They would have been doing well to get close at 70-4, let alone past. I'm sure they hoped for better starting off this morning, but from the point you're talking about yesterday they would have been ecstatic.

Easily. At 70-4 it was looking like another Broad show and 120 a/o. They're very happy to be 270 from where they are. Although maybe not from ~ 200/5

Also. Rain on the way. Not going to be a long stoppage if it hits though.

Anderson/Swann didn't look very threatening for the most part really and Bresnan's first spell was average. It didn't look a under 200 score at any point yesterday unless Broad was going to take 6 in his first spell.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Root in his most aggressive mode in quite some time.

 

[Maximas]

It would be bloody good if Root takes a crappy single on Warner's arm and gets run out

 

[Swingpanzee]

Also, anyone else think Bird's half grin while he's running into the pitch a bit hilarious?

 

[Swingpanzee]

It would be bloody good if Root takes a crappy single on Warner's arm and gets run out

It would be even better if Warner mis-threw it at Root and broke his jaw.

 

[Howe_zat]

Bloody hell, just seen all today's successful reviews.

Semi-serious question - if this umpiring is okay, because we tend to get the right result in the end anyway, can't there be more than 10 umpires?

You've got your head up your arse.

You're joking, right? From 3/****-all, we've been blasted in far less difficult conditions than yesterday

youre off your head. go do something useful

would be a decent throw with Root wearing a helmet

 

[91Jmay]

You've got your head up your arse.

You honestly think that apart from when Broad was bowling it looked a 200 all out innings. Seriously?

 

[Maximas]

Jmay posting garbage, sorry, both conditions and the bowling were very difficult yesterday
