The England Cricket Thread

9,000 Test runs for Smith, you love to see it!

 

[Sankari]

Phew! That review had me worried for a moment.

2-0 here we come.

England have been absolute dog **** today.

And this all goes back to that stupid declaration, they gave up the whip hand for no reason in the very early stages of a 5 match Ashes series. From that moment on it has been gradually downhill all the way...

 

[Sankari]

3 for 198, nice catch!

 

[Sankari]

Did not expect us to do this well, I'm pleasantly surprised.

Roooooot

Bit more of an even day with those late wickets but a poor day from England in the main. Looks to be an on and off day of rain tomorrow.

No wickets from Anderson and Broad; it's time to sideline our great but ageing frontline seam attack.

Also Root's bouncer was as fast as most of Robinson's pathetic deliveries.

Harmison is a car crash hosting the cricket debrief on TalkSport. Is he drunk?

i would say broad is still doing OK, JA on the other hand..been struggling a bit..

 

[Barry Weiss]

basically root was out best bowler today

maybe we need a frontline spinner?

Think it might be retirement time for Jimmy? He has been pretty terrible so far this series.

 

[Vandle]

Stating the obvious but this first hour is absolutely crucial. Not just for the game but for the series.

 

[Vandle]

Nice

 

[SoliD]

an annoyingly good hundred.

 

[Sankari]

Well, that turned around quickly. Glad Smith got his ton at least.

 

[SoliD]

Big wicket!

 

[Sankari]

Argh!!!

 

[Sankari]

We've passed 400, that feels good at least.
