*Official* Fourth Test at Chester-le-Street

"Dad, Broad dies his hair doesn't he?"

Sounds a bit extreme...

 

[Maximas]

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

every second ball moved off the seam...

RR of 2.5 p/o. Flying.

 

[Son Of Coco]

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.

Yeah you're right. I've just checked my TV, and the movement the bowlers were getting was purely down to a wobbly castor on my tv unit.

Aus did superbly to get 270. They were looking like 140 a/o and another heavy defeat.

Theres a bloke up in the Mona Vale/Palm Beach area who built a castle for himself to live in #interestingstories

I'm not saying it wasn't difficult, but aside from Broad and a bit of Bresnan no other bowler looked lethal. Rogers/Watson batted excellently but a test match team at 49-3 should not be thinking about being out for under 200. That's ****ing ridiculous.

 

[benchmark00]

Waste of bandwidth.

 

[Goughy]

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

I just walked into this thread half way through this conversation but if he is saying that Swann and Anderson bowled poorly yesterday then he is correct. They were both levels below they and the fans would have expected.

 

[Maximas]

who says we were thinking about it? it just looked like the reality

 

[benchmark00]

Bloke I used to play with who was very handy used to pick the ball for us. Reckoned he always picked the ball that felt smallest in his hand #interstingstories

 

[uvelocity]

jmay composes another classic post

that's half of the attack, Bresnen and Broad looked like they were gonna run straight through us for under 200, might have too if they caught their catches, Swann injured and Jimmy not particularly suited perhaps as well.

 

[91Jmay]

Without Broad taking 6/7 in his first spell it didn't look a 200 all out. Anderson and Swann were not bowling well enough to let that happen and Rogers looked in battling mode. Last I am saying on it.

At the level we played at we rarely got a choice but if we did we always went for the one that felt smallest.

 

[91Jmay]

Batting conditions are far easier today though, no doubt about that.
