*Official* Fourth Test at Trent Bridge

[Flem274*]

on one screen i have two set batsmen struggling to time it off the deck and on the other wood waves his bat and nice things happen like the ball racing to the fence

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wow that was a good shot. I say bin Ian Bell and bump Wood up to number 3.

 

[ImpatientLime]

aussie management gotta be looking closely at johnson, right?

 

[LegionOfBrad]

trott and strauss too.

i always thought thorpe had the game to average that high. equally comfortable v pace or spin, could play all round the wicket. when he came back with his head straight from 2003 onwards he was outstanding for a couple of years.

Yeah I don't have the figures but he must have been close to 50 after he came back.

Best English bat of his generation. Which in fairness was not hard. Just a shame his divorce completed messed him up for so long.

 

[Gnske]

A Starc five-for

How absolutely revolting.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Fair nut that.

 

[King Pietersen]

Disappointing end. Disgusting 5-for. Australia lucky he's managed it though, would be really struggling without Starc!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Great bowling by Starc.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Starc to take 9 and piss all over Broad's fire.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Great Yorker but it almost seems like its all he's got in his armoury ATM.

 

[Flem274*]

that was a cracker

how the **** does this jammy **** keep getting 5fers though? imagine if he was actually good...

 

[theegyptian]

Root's dismissal annoys me more than it probably should. He'd been beaten a few times with big drives and indiscriminate shots and so he could see the ball was moving and conditions were tough - yet he didn't have the discipline to play tight for 45 minutes. Sure England should canter to victory but it was like the Aussie batting yesterday - thick. Why give them the chance of getting back into the game.

 

[Howe_zat]

Done his job I guess. Well bowled

Fear this will be a disappointing morning. Two batsmen on 0 now

Angled it across Root pretty well.

Nah bowled well this innings

 

[Spikey]

aussie management gotta be looking closely at johnson, right?

yeah probably.

 

[ajdude]

He had back trouble too which stopped it being as high as it may have been.

yeah but what about his batting average?

 

[Zinzan]

Hope Buttler's positive today once he's had a sighter and doesn't just push and prod. The lead is 250, play your natural game son!

We must be watching different Starcs this innings.

230ish runs behind at the time with five more wickets left. Are they really back in the game?
