*Official* Third Test at Edgbaston

[Jacknife]

Good over that from Broad, looks to have settled more.

 

[Spark]

Looks like Broad's finally found his rhythm.

Anderson, meanwhile...

 

[Jacknife]

Jimmy is awsome, Jaffa again.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Now that one was definitely not shoelace.

 

[GIMH]

This is top class from Jimmy

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Jimmeh

 

[BoyBrumby]

Top quality stuff from Jimmy. Lethal in these conditions, the boy.

 

[The_roc]

Over by lunch time?

 

[Goughy]

Quality stuff. Actually better than that. Special stuff.

 

[four_or_six]

Wow.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Cook's 294 vs India's 280/14

 

[GIMH]

Should be over by lunch

 

[Jacknife]

What a over that was.

 

[Goughy]

In the 2nd Test, Bresnan said England bowling strategy is to try and put the ball in the right areas and hit the seam. As a strategy it may sound obvious but often people over think cricket. England keeping it simple and it is brutally effective.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Wow. Some bouncer.

Raina caught in two minds, but actually did ok with it in the end. By his low standards, obvz.

Just on the Cook > India thing: he exceded their first innings total by 70. Is that some kind of record? Can't be too many occasions when a batsman in reply has scored that many more than the entire oppo.

Sharjah + Hayden comes to mind. Triggered a "Hayden beats Pakistan by an innings" headline or something like it.

I think Hayden scored more in one innings than Pakistan did in two digs. I stand to be corrected though.

Also, Hayden vs Zimbabwe when he got 380 may have been up there, but I'm not sure.

Edit: Spark, WAC.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Prior coming up to the stumps to Jimmy. Good luck!

 

[Spark]

Standing up to Anderson in these conditions? Takes cojones, that's for sure.

Trott did the same in the Boxing Day Test
