*Official* Third Test at Edgbaston

[KiWiNiNjA]

Goneskis!

It would be the 3rd biggest innings defeat ever if England can take the last 3 wickets for under 20 runs.

 

[Burgey]

Unbeaten Bevan hundred in the VB series to bring Australia back from the brink; McCullum dropped him as sub fielder. Bichel hit the winning runs.

I realise that the whole Bevan/Bichel comeback thing happened to New Zealand a few times though so it probably doesn't narrow it down completely. I think it was the only non-World-Cup edition of that exact storyline though.

Was the 01-02 series where we missed the Tri-series final and which led to Steve Waugh's dropping from the ODI side.

 

[TT Boy]

Nice catch from Braod. Stupid from Mishra, was beaten but he still didn't have to go through with the shot. Was some easy runs there for the taking for him.

LOL @ Kumar. What the **** was that?

 

[Turbinator]

Reckon Dhoni should go for it now, have a bit of fun.

 

[Jacknife]

Nearly hit straight to Morgan that from Dhoni.

That's if Test cricket lasts that long

yeah true.

hope india lose 4-0 and bcci cut down on the tests,

i dont know why india are touring england again in just 3 years time and that one will be a 5 test series. wtf
after whats happened in this series, they surely got to cut it down to 3 tests.

Ahhhh, that time Australia only beat NZ in 1 out of 4 matches. Gotcha.

Test cricket will still be around mate. It's survived two world wars, the depression, splits, Rebel tours, a whole rebel system and boycotts of its member nations.

None of those are as awful as the BCCI having de facto control over it, but history suggests the long game will survive.

 

[Jacknife]

Great bouncer.

Jesus he's ducking into length balls, not bright.

 

[Spark]

Youch.

 

[Burgey]

Ffs Kumar, get behind it and watch the ball. No wonder you got hit.

 

[Jamee999]

If Kumar doesn't retire hurt, this is dumb.

 

[Jacknife]

His nail looks like it's set come off already.

 

[Uppercut]

Just retire hurt.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

England might want to bowl a nice bouncer or two at his broken helmet.

Ah right, yeah, I remember the one. Remember being both absolutely crushed and in awe of Bevan at the same time.

To be very honest, there's very few people outside Aus and Eng (including those on this forum) who give a **** about Test cricket. And it's unfortunate.

And with heavy defeats like these against the biggest market for cricket, it surely doesn't do this form of the game many favours.

With that said, my post was partly in jest.

 

[Jacknife]

How was that a 6, landed short.

 

[Spark]

Think that was six, tbh.

Shot!

And hilarious beer spillage ensues.
