4th Test: England v Australia at Leeds

[Sureshot]

Broad to get a five for? I think he has bowled slightly better in this match.

ajdude - IMO Kalli = GREAT BATSMAN+Good Bowler....Flintoff = Very Good Batsman+GREAT BOWLER.....Kallis for me is a Bowling All-Rounder...and Flintoff is more nearer to being a Genuine All-Rounder than Kallis....

If he's a bowling allrounder, how come he's scored 9k+ runs this decade, just behind Ponting? How come Flintoff's scored 5 centuries compared to Kallis' 31? How come there's a difference of 22~ in their career averages? I'd say Flintoff's bowling's a bit better, but Kallis has the stats in both departments, a bowling and batting average of 30 and 54, whereas Flintoff should be considered more of a bowling allrounder.

Fantastic. Please for the love of god Australia, don't give Broad anymore wickets.

Literally noone has performed well in this Test barring Broad and Prior so far. They really should be quite ashamed of themselves to be honest.

Broad gets another good ball hitting top of off.

England to get 550 batting before bowling Australia out for 100. Easy win from here.

2 wicket s in one over,Siddle gone...Still Aus close to 300 runs ahead(292 to be exact)...North still 5 runs away from another 100...

Howsie - Flintoff isnt Consistent enough...BUT he is definitely talented enough buddy...At his BEST Flintoff is aguably the best all-rounder of this decade...i agree he can be ordinary sometimes but that doesnt take away the talent that he has...he wasnt that good when he started out but lifted his game up by a good margin later...

He is a Very Good batsman for me...playing in the lower middle order he has done enoug...though with his talent he could have definitely done better and reached 40's in tests....

Fixed.

Clark loves to play his shots, hopefully he can stick around and get North to his 100.

OH DAMN thats a typo...i dint mean that....Kallis is a Batting All-Rounder

Yep, I'll put a tenner on that! Prior has been the one really positive thing for me in this series. He has kept well and added a real positive batting impetus to the proceedings. As for Broad, mmm, jury still out on that one for me.

Good knock from North, looks real class!

Talent means nothing if you're not putting up the numbers. Kallis is a far better all-rounder.

ajdude no man i messed it up there....dint mean that:doh......Kallis is DEFINITELY a GREAT BATSMAN AND ONE OF THE BEST OF THIS ERA...Kallis is DEFINITELY BETTER than flintoff as a batsman....

 

[King Pietersen]

Broad has been much better in this game, been the pick of Englands bowlers. Deserves a 5fer.

Excellent hundred from North, played superbly today. Words eaten.

 

[nikhil_99]

Fantastic shot by North,i thought he would come down and hit big one,because wickets were falling at other end...Great...This is his 3rd 100...2nd in this series...

I think Swann has bowled well without reward. 300+ deficits aren't fun.

Gooj job North. I think he might open up now and show his aggression.
