4th Test: England v Australia at Leeds

[Magz]

Well England back to normal after a few good tests.

That is the one that Cook plays badly, pitched up and driveable

Prior sure is lucky. When you're at 6 and the top order collapsed I always believe it's best to give counter attacking a go. It works more often than not and can take a bit of momentum away and give you some.

Clark's bowling great. He's just one of those bowlers who keeps putting the ball on good line and length and eventually pressure builds up and patience wears and he gets the edge.

CLARKY, YOU'RE OUR MAN <3

Boy I love Clark, just watching him bowl is an inspiration.

 

[Howsie]

Yep, worst opener in world cricket right there

 

[evertonfan]

The only reason we're 1-0 up in the first place is because Clark hasn't been playing.

I guarantee that when Australia come to bat on this they'll cash in.

You're judging Ravi after 9 Tests, and he's scored 3 hundreds in that time. He's had a bad series, but I'm convinced he's good enough. Averaged 56 and 60 in his last 2 CC seasons. He is good enough for Test cricket, just far too lose for a #3.

Cook gone. My god we're bad.

Lets say if England played some one like South Africa instead of West Indies during that time. Do you still think Bopara would have made those centuries?

Possibly not, would have made 1 ton though I reckon. 3 centuries in 3 innings is no mean feat, irrespective of the opposition. One of only 6 players (possibly 6 Englishmen can't remember the stat) to have achieved that. He's no mug, and I think gets alot of unfair criticism just because of the opposition he scored his runs against. He'd have been slagged off if he failed, but he made a hundred in both innings batting 3, and still gets baited. Very harsh on the guy, I'm convinced he's good enough for Test cricket.

 

[iridescentt]

LMAO. Is that Broad I see out to bat?

S Clark bowled Beautiful delivery to get rid of A Cook...Eng 5 down before end of 1st session...

At three, no.

 

[bowser]

That I do question. England have had a couple of good sessions and Australia has had some very ordinary sessions. On balance Australia have had a lot better run then England but the poor sessions have really hurt them.

 

[irottev]

Harmison to top score. You heard it here first.

 

[IloveGilly]

Johnson almost bowled a Harmy!

 

[Magz]

Johnson with a nice little Harmy ball there.
