*Official* 3rd Test at Edgbaston

[fredfertang]

piss poor effort from Stokes there

 

[Compton]

Twice they've shown replays of 'nearly chances' off Stuart Broad, and twice no one has bothered mentioning the certain front foot no ball.

 

[Pothas]

Well this is crap.

 

[fredfertang]

The dive was fairly cosmetic, wasn't it?

That hovercraft is pretty cool. Obviously needed more in the UK though because the lack of sunlight means Poms are a bit brittle and lack strength.

English weather fmd.

 

[Compton]

Given that the ground staff are still kicking about, I don't think they'll be off for too long.

Was thinking the same! It was easily spotted from the view that had Stokes in front.

Just checked a rain radar. It's a short passing shower.

Yep. Wasn't even particularly tight.

Could this be the single moment where Stokes single handedly loses England the Ashes?

Ok, Johnson discussion on CW commentary:

2010-11 ashes: MJ plays brisbane, dropped adl, plays the rest
plays in SL and SA. Was certainly going to be dropped following SA tour, but got injured. Didn't re-appear until 3rd test against SA in 2012-13 when all those guys got rested
Played all the SL series.
Played one test in India. 4th test I believe, in place for Starc. Didn't get picked for 2013 Ashes. Returned afterwards.

So dropped two times imo, Adl and 2013.

Oh good House is on.

Drainage at Edgbaston used to be ****e, although they might have improved it a bit recently.

 

[Compton]

Ahh good, back on in 15 mins.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Only thing missing with the Clarke dismissal was him falling on his ass

 

[dermo]

Interested to see whether the racist english crowds keep booing joe root.
