*Official* Fourth Test at Chester-le-Street

[Flametree]

Cook looking ominous...

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Another brilliant session of cricket. Gonna be a tight nervy one this.

 

[Maximas]

england's session, Aus still ahead in the game however

 

[Swingpanzee]

How was this Australia's session? Definitely England's, came back pretty well and despite the trail and one blip of Joe Root, they've got to be happy.

 

[GIMH]

Harris vs Anderson an interesting debate. Think Harris possible better in a wider variety of conditions than Jimmy..

I'd have both of them and Steyn in my world XI

 

[Swingpanzee]

This match is shaping up to be similar to the Trent Bridge one, though not nearly as dramatic yet. All good of course.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Am I still drunk or does the bottom of the screen say Bird has 5-3

lttle column a little column b

World XI:

1. Jimmy Anderson
2. Dale Steyn
3. Morne Morkel
4. Vernon Philander
5. Ryan Harris
6. Peter Siddle
7. Chris Tremlett
8. Graeme Swann/Nathan Lyon/Jadeja/Good enough offspinner (have your pick)
9. Stuart Broad
10. Michael Clarke
11. Alastair Cook

Best team IMO (not in that order though). Cook will be 0 of 505 balls, Clarke gets another ridiculous double ton and you have enough bowler to slog it for another 100 runs or so and then round it up. Who the **** needs a wicketkeeper?

 

[Furball]

Oh god it's painful.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Imagine going on a tour with Mark Nicholas, Christ almighty. He's like Borat, except dead serious.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Oh and Cook and Clarke share captaincy duties. Cook when one needs a draw, Clarke when a win is needed. #InfallibleTeamlol

[Goughy]

So what lead makes this a 50/50 game going into the 4th innings?

I know i will sound conservative but Id say 265
