*Official Third Test at Edgbaston

[Richard]

Just got in with the papers have I missed anything?

Irony?

 

[Johnners]

Dire

Just got in with the papers have I missed anything?

Nah, nothing to see here.

 

[alternative]

Missed yesterdays play, but good to see England right back in it.

 

[GIMH]

Think Rich's miscellaneous prediction was that someone would be on a hat-trick and not get one...

Clarke off the mark, but a great over from Onions

 

[Richard]

Onions getting some real indrift (to RHBs) in that over.

WAG.

 

[alternative]

Superb over.

 

[GIMH]

come on freddie

 

[social]

Despite those wickets, pitch looks an absolute belter - good pace and no virtually no sideways movement

 

[Richard]

WAG.

WAGwub is your standard response to any England player doing well these days it seems.

Wide from Flintoff first up.

 

[pasag]

Graham Onions was taken out of the attack after three overs which went for 27 runs. As the side's fifth bowler, do the English fans feel he's a little surplus to requirements?

 

[Pigeon]

Dire leave from the Huss. His test average has plummetted to 52.91

 

[Richard]

Despite those wickets, pitch looks an absolute belter - good pace and no virtually no sideways movement

As I say though Onions getting some good indrift (to RHB) in the air.

 

[cover drive man]

Incredible start for England.

 

[chalky]

I think I read on here that Flintoff has never got Clarke out - now's a good time to break your duck big man.

 

[Richard]

And my first thought was "strange decision to give him the opening over" too. Was going to post about it, but was beaten to it by two wickets in the first two balls of the day which I posted about instead.

 

[Woodster]

Fantastic start for the boys!! Onions bang on target that first over. That was how long I expected Watson to last yesterday! Hussey currently has his angles all wrong, without getting greedy let's have another one or two in this first hour!

 

[four_or_six]

Would be lovely if Watto top scores on his return to the side.

 

[Jamee999]

Possibly the greatest Neville Longbottom look-a-like ever.
