[JBH001]

New ball due in 10 overs.

New ball due in 10 overs.

Maybe to be taken by Onions & Harmy? fwiw, which isn't very much really.

 

[GIMH]

I feel like all I've done this week is watch Clarke & North bat

 

[Austin3169]

Good 50 from North.

I really like this guy. Good player.

 

[JBH001]

Maybe to be taken by Onions & Harmy? fwiw, which isn't very much really.

Yes, was thinking about that. Onions must have it from one end. Dont know about the other though, Harmison most likely. Of course, if its served up yards outside off or halfway down the pitch its not going to make much of a difference.

Swann looks so much better when he slows it up. Dont know why his average speed is around 90 kph. Too fast, imo.

 

[GIMH]

Pretty safe to assume that Clarke will take the Compton-Miller medal

And ****, should have been out, wtf

 

[JBH001]

Haha, Clarke. Lucky.

 

[wpdavid]

Watching Onions bowl makes you wonder whose decision it was for Broad to bowl so wide of off stump. If it was Strauss, surely Onions would be doing the same.

I'm going to put this entire session on VHS tape (for extra weight) and throw it at the next England fan who talks about Ponting being a **** test captain.

 

[GIMH]

Yes!!! Beauty

 

[JBH001]

Onions!

Well played Clarke. Good knock.

 

[Craig]

"Full length ball", "Full length ball", "Full length ball", "Full length ball".

 

[Son Of Coco]

For ****'s sake Clarkey!

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Damn.

Haha, because it's only ever the English who do that, and of course how well Strauss captains is completely relevant to how good a skipper Ponting is. Strauss's captaincy has been caned by about 80% of the English posters all series.

 

[Ikki]

Shame, another batsman that deserved a 100. Great knock Pup. Has really upped it this series. They should start calling him Big Dog now.

 

[Burgey]

Looks like Clarke didn't pick that up there.

Onions showing the virtue of bowling short and wide of off stump

Although I agree with them

 

[Mr_Cricket]

There goes Clarke just misses his 100 but a very good 93.

 

[Uppercut]

Don't think Strauss's captaincy is relevant to how England are doing tbh. The whole bowl-short-at-Clarke plan was horrendous though.
