Just waiting for snicko. Then ill be happy.

rotters · 21 Jul 2013 at 16:41

Yeah I knew about 3rd umpires not having snicko, it was more for me, also no deviation seen, that was nonsense.

3 wickets and we can go home and rest for 11 days.

On a side note, whats your feelings on pietersen missing the next test...for me I'm not that fussed, in 1st class crickets he is on form but not done anything in the last 2 tests really. Who would you replace him with? I'd like to see Michael carberry from Hampshire. I know he isn't contracted, but he is on very good form.

Haddin out now, 2 wickets to go hehe.

Oh dear even more humiliation with the drs, the ball was going on to miss.

rotters · 21 Jul 2013 at 16:46

Oh I completely agree. But still lol at no reviews left.

rotters · 21 Jul 2013 at 17:13

Very close that review.

Doohickey said:
It's going to be Compton surely. Maybe Bopara in at 5 and Bell goes up to 4. Maybe Lumb? Pietersen isn't showing much composure. He should be scoring heavily especially on this wicket against this team.

Having said that, there's no reason to change the starting line up I guess. Pietersen needs to regain test form, why not let him do it when the pressure's off.

Edit: oh yeah he's injured

I thought Bopara was injured?

Pretty much the perfect ball to any batsman. Brilliant

rotters · 1 Aug 2013 at 10:38

England unchanged.

Australia, starc, Lyon and Warner in.

Going to be interesting fielding first.

rotters · 1 Aug 2013 at 12:21

Watson gone for 19!

rotters · 1 Aug 2013 at 12:47

another one bites the dust hehe

rotters · 1 Aug 2013 at 15:29

Yeah strange, really loud noise, but nothing on hot spot. Oh well, not out.

rotters · 1 Aug 2013 at 16:15

Very unfortunate broad there, looked plum. I don't know how he didnt give it out.

rotters · 2 Aug 2013 at 11:26

And then put us in for the last 45 to 30 mins.

rotters · 2 Aug 2013 at 12:26

He deserves all he gets hehe. What a silly review.

David Warner gone for 5.

rotters · 2 Aug 2013 at 12:29

If we can get Hardin cheaply we are then into the tail....should be an interesting afternoon.

rotters · 2 Aug 2013 at 12:29

Bloody hell locky you really are a misery.

rotters · 2 Aug 2013 at 14:23

Excellent stuff. Nice one broad, 200 international test wickets.

rotters · 2 Aug 2013 at 14:26

Siddle gone for 1. Excellent 5 for swanny.
