*Official* Fourth Test at Headingley

[Burgey]

Meh, surely there'll be someone on CricketWeb who pays for the newsfeed and fills us in. I can wait until my dad gets home from work with the day's papers for non-cricket stuff.

If James paid his staff we could pay for it and get a tax deduction.

in all its musical glory...

Someone wanted to know what pigeon-toed was:

 

[four_or_six]

Saying Flintoff is definitely out on the radio.

 

[grecian]

Freddie definitely out.

Can't say I'm that surprised or disappointed the way he bowled at Brum.

Edit, damn beating to it.

Talk is of Swann missing out.

 

[Ikki]

Freddie definitely out.

YES!

Talk is of Swann missing out.

NO!

 

[four_or_six]

Swann missing out would be ridiculous, we don't even have a part-time spinner in our top 6.

Just get Trott and Harmison in for Flintoff and Broad and that's perfect.

Your forgetting Colly's cutters

I hope they don't do it either, but as I've said before I'd play Ryan ahead of Harmy. Really think this will be a massive anti-climax for him on a pitch that has no pace & bounce. I predict 1-122, at over four-an-over.

 

[four_or_six]

Nice... apparently the England players were evacuated from their hotel at 5am in the pouring rain. Can't imagine many got back to sleep after that.

 

[simmy]

Prior out, Colly keeping maybe?

WHAT BULL****

 

[Prince EWS]

Clarke and Haddin in.

 

[simmy]

No Freddie or Prior, this is bad bad bad news.

 

[Uppercut]

Your forgetting Colly's cutters

Can't bowl them if he's keeping wicket!

You really sense this is turning towards the Aussies...

 

[simmy]

If Broad is still playing then its a hattrick of bad things happening today!

 

[Matt79]

What's Prior's problem?

 

[four_or_six]

Clark's in... oh dear.

 

[four_or_six]

Can't we just get Ambrose up to Leeds quickly? Birmingham's not that far away. Colly can keep temporarily until he gets there. The Aussies owe us one from last week!

 

[Prince EWS]

Stuart Clark in.

 

[Matt79]

Now if Anderson can just step on a ball, McGrath style...

 

[Matt79]

Agree with F.o.S. Bit silly for Colly to be stuck as keeper if foster or whoever can be there by the first drinks break.

 

[simmy]

Ponting better allow us to bring in another keeper.
