*Official Third Test at Edgbaston

[GIMH]

That's what I thought, but they moved it forwards a whole ten minutes yesterday! Not that it made much difference

 

[Burgey]

Cool. Am going to a BBQ later so will get a shower and what not in the lunch interval. Am attending this BBQ on the basis of one T&C, can you guess what it is?

Liar. No Englishman would delay arrival at a lunch for bathing. In fact, very few of you bathe at all

 

[GIMH]

I don't bathe in fact, only got a shower

 

[NUFAN]

(to NUFAN) I do in my garden tbf

RE bad light - sure, that stops play when there are dark clouds about. But on a nice day it stays light until around 9pm the summer.

Really and it disappears by 11am? Genuine question.

It's only Bell at the crease, you could put a dew watchman in if an early wicket was to fall.

 

[Pizzorno]

COME ON ENGLAND!

Quietely (okay minutely) confident about still forcing a result in this one. Although then again, this is England and we could throw it away before lunch.

 

[GIMH]

Here we go, come on Straussy

 

[Pizzorno]

Bowled Hilf.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, looking decent early on, when he's released the ball in the right direction anyway

 

[GIMH]

Warney just said the t-word!!!

 

[BoyBrumby]

Warney just said the t-word!!!

Yup, just rewound my Sky+ to check. Bumble sniggered.

 

[Burgey]

Swing from ball one for Hilf. And a little there for Sid too.

 

[Pigeon]

Yup, just rewound my Sky+ to check. Bumble sniggered.

End of Warney's stint in Sky I am afraid.

 

[GIMH]

Nah, he'll just get a telling off

 

[chalky]

Warney just said the t-word!!!

What T word?

 

[Pizzorno]

End of Warney's stint in Sky I am afraid.

If he'd have said it on the BBC he'd have been fined £500,000 and wouldn't have beee allowed to host Jonathan Ross for 3 months. Because we all know, 2 people writing in to complain to the BBC represents the whole country being in uproar.

 

[Pizzorno]

What T word?

T to the WAT my friend.

 

[Burgey]

Good stuff first up from Hilf.

Bell in scoring runs behind point shocker.

What's with the radar? Sid nails Bell in the ribs and it says 126.

Rudi. Well done again. Hawkeye's been on the piss showing that going so far over. Can see height an issue but no way by that far.

 

[NUFAN]

The War Against Terrorism?

 

[chalky]

Cheers had the TV on mute.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

So much for the theory that Australia are incapable of getting the ball to swing in friendly conditions.

Now can they bowl well?
