*Official* 3rd Test at Edgbaston

[Swingpanzee]

holy **** literally every ball by Broad is a no ball

 

[Compton]

That's another front foot from Broad

Do we get all the runs from Broad's uncalled no balls added at lunch? DRS doesn't mean you stop bothering if no wickets fall surely. How do you go if it's a 2 run game and no clown has bothered to call a no ball?

I actually kinda agree with Warne about the Haddin thing, or at least I see where he's coming from. I think Haddin should have been dropped for form reasons but I do think it's kinda ****ty if they were going to keep picking him for the rest of the series (and I think they were) until he sat out one game for family reasons and then got left out because his replacement did decently. I think it's the right decision for the team but I can see why people would be bothered by it.

 

[Adders]

Broad gotta watch his front foot........seen him overstep a good few times this morning.

Tubbs: If you bat like Ponting you'll get runs

 

[andruid]

My stream was so ****ty that the slips just blended into the grass. F u Airtel

Relieved to learn Airtel's mediocrity is not really a Kenya only thing.

Would probably be Australia's top scorer.

 

[Compton]

Good little half hour before lunch for Australia.

Even if you agree, which I don't, he's been prattling on and on about it. Lots of Australian cricketers have said the same thing in the media as well. We get it. You're mates with Haddin.

 

[Swingpanzee]

who won the sweepstakes btw

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Broad getting a lot of movement in that last over. I think batting will be pretty good for the rest of the day if it stays sunny though. You'd want 350+ here.

Voges looks in good touch and should make a score. Needs to, also.

 

[Zinzan]

Lunch-time scoreboard sweep (number of wickets > closest score)

Yeah I think there's a lot of that in it too. I mean my criticism would be that I do genuinely think Haddin would have been pencilled in for the rest of the series regardless of his consistently ****ty performances. I don't think they should pick him, but I do think it's bizarre that they would have kept picking him except he sat out one test and gave them an "excuse" effectively.

 

[Howe_zat]

howe_zat ignoring my posts. smh.

I'll see it if you post on the mixlr page.

 

[Riggins]

Interesting point, because they do often make adjustments after play if there's a leg bye that should have been a bye or similar.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Cook giving Clarke a send off...didn't think that was happening this series.

 

[Howe_zat]

Compelling session. Think this is a great cricket wicket

 

[weldone]

I completely disagree with Warne. Haddin being dropped is the correct decision, unless you're his mate.
