*Official* Third Test at Edgbaston

[Spark]

wtf

That's something I would expect one of our blokes at their most incompetent to do.

 

[Themer]

So what would be considered a "good" score on this pitch? Just out of curiosity.

Personally 275-325.

 

[Uppercut]

Raina

An absolute myth. He's just played a horror to a ball that did very little, if anything. Sad thing is he wasn't bounced out.

Haha, tbf to Jimmeh he's been swinging them away and that one just failed to do anything. Raina ended up looking a right tool.

 

[Themer]

Yeah good attempt there Dhoni...

 

[Contra]

MS just survive till Swann gets on please! lol

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Raina is shockingly bad.

This is too easy.

 

[morgieb]

Well on our way to a good solid score of 130-150. Should be just about par with our demon fast bowlers exploiting the good bowling conditions to rip out the English top order for 600.

Would have thought that will be a while? Broad will come on for one of these, in these conditions you will be lucky if you get to see Swann this side of tea

 

[Themer]

The more replays you see the more ridiculous that wicket was, thought it was a good ball first up. It wasn't.

Missing a straight one while trapped on the crease and falling over isnt a sign of a Test quality batsman is it?

 

[Uppercut]

Bresnan's been kinda bad since lunch.

 

[Daemon]

That Raina dismissal wasn't that bad really. So many deliveries have been leaving him and then this one, with the seam pointing at first/second slip just comes in with the angle. Don't think Anderson intended for it to happen.

 

[Tom Halsey]

That wasn't very good.

 

[Themer]

Hahaha, this is club cricket standard.

 

[Goughy]

Jesus wept. That is ****

 

[flibbertyjibber]

120 allout here.

Gutless lack of fight here. Should be 4-0 the way this is going.

 

[Athlai]

Haha 150 would be good from here. Pathetic.

 

[Spark]

Dear dear.

 

[Van Buren]

Great grit and application shown by the Indian batsmen here.

Mate, it was poor. He was in no position to play the shot he tried. Technically very poor even considering Jimmy was previously shaping the ball away.
