*Official Third Test at Edgbaston

[SirBloody Idiot]

Bopara into the attack. Where's Anderson? Re players with foody surnames, Paul Blackman says: "If you are from Korea does Jack Russell count?" That's immensely terrible and brilliant all rolled into one, dog sandwich.

Splendid.

 

[Jamee999]

Flintoff deadset so close to breaking his leg on that fall.

 

[pasag]

Game to be decided with the new ball, then. If we pass that test we've done it.

 

[Top_Cat]

Didn't Rudi already give this not-out? Will scream if it's given, no way did he hit that. Bat on pad.

Confidence in Rudi at an all-time low after that.

 

[Nate]

Haha Rudi, had me on edge there.

 

[pasag]

LOL, now Rudi decides to go up.

 

[Redbacks]

Rudi is a clown!

Gives it not out and then succumbs to pressure to ask 3rd ump - terrible stuff

Reckon Rudi's confidence in himself is even lower right now, which is a lot of the problem.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Swann been so ****ing dire today.

That was ridiculous stuff from Rudi, the most annoying thing is that he isn't even consistent while he makes calls like this, never rated him much as an umpire, but in recent times he has been some absolutely atrocious decisions.

 

[Top_Cat]

Marc North playing far more expansively now, almost flamboyant. Either he's going to get a leading edge trying the Lara hip-flick or he and Clarke will be not out 100+ each at the end of the day.

Dont agree with TEC's assessment of him at all

Looks a pretty solid player to me but a dodgy starter

 

[pasag]

Yeah, Swann's been completely ineffective. Don't think he's troubled a batsman all day.

Looked really bad, really bad. Has 0 confidence at the moment and appears to be bullied by the home team.

 

[Demolition Man]

Anderson really is acting like a **** !!!

 

[Scaly piscine]

Wouldn't have minded so much if Swann hadn't offered a 4-ball practically every over and built up some pressure.

 

[Demolition Man]

These really are good batting conditions, I think the match is all but over now.

 

[BoyBrumby]

FFS. Went to mow lawn to ease nerves & no wickets have fallen. Utter waste of time, except for the cut grass, obv.

Draw now. Time to call it.
