*Official Third Test at Edgbaston

[Joe Ninety]

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

I recall him getting Clarke at Lords in '05?

 

[GIMH]

Right, got a mate arriving in a sec, will catch you guys later. Poor fella was on the train and missed the wickets

 

[chalky]

Well done Punter class act great career

 

[Craig]

Congratulations to Ricky Ponting who is now Australia's all time leading run scorer in Test cricket.

 

[Adamc]

Jeez his record is impressive.

 

[The Sean]

Batted Punter - what a player he has been (and still is) for Australia. Well deserved.

That's a typical Watson dismissal that one, it's where all of the bowlers should've been bowling at him. He's soft hands on the block and is usually late on it early in the innings. You'd have to think Strauss actually watched some tape of him overnight and figured Onions was the best one to bowl that type of ball consistently. Disappointed but it was a deserving nut.

Hussey though, wtf. Surely he won't last the series now?

Fair play, Ungums. Fair play.

 

[Richard]

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

Neville Longbottom is only a fantastical character though - it's hard for someone to be a lookalike to someone who only exists in a book.

*clap*

Punter, what more can be said.

 

[Pigeon]

Well done. Now go get em, Ponty

Hoggard & Jones according to statsguru - unless it was an ODI I was refering to tests only

You haven't heard about the movies?

Nah, Simon Jones lbw first-innings. And of course dragged-on Hoggard second-innings. He should've been caught cover long before though, Pietersen dropped him, I forget who the bowler was.

 

[Johnners]

Ponting, WAG

 

[Richard]

You haven't heard about the movies?

Oh, certainly have - haven't watched them, they're d-i-r-e apparently, but either way, films are played by actors, who are real people themselves.

 

[Burgey]

Despite losing a couple in the most extraordinary circumstances (poor Huss is very bad ATM), the RR is still going along at a fair old clip.

Unless you actively attempt it (which would be a rather odd thing for any batsman to do), it's quite difficult to score slowly at Edgbaston at the current time. Easy-paced pitch (certainly not a slow one as some have suggested), quick outfield, boundaries roped in a long way in recent years - all adds up.

Hoggard & Jones according to statsguru - unless it was an ODI I was refering to tests only

Oops my mistake, it was indeed Hoggard.

 

[Evilhoopler]

Scoring at a very good rate for test matches. Shame about the 2 more wickets though. Ponting looking good. And Clarke in form also, this could be a nice partnership.

 

[Evilhoopler]

What has happened to Hoggard. Out of favour with selectors, injured or retired. Sorry about the stupid question by the way.
