4th Test: England v Australia at Leeds

[aussie1st]

Cmon Ponting let Hilfy take his 5 fer. Hes certainly giving Johnson a crack at it.

 

[angryangy]

They just try too hard to get tailenders out. It's not like a lot of good balls are getting hit around, just not balls you'd expect to go for 4.

Look, Watson's better than Hughes. Deal with it.

 

[aussie1st]

LMAO get Billy off, can't even count to 6 FFS.

LMAO get Billy off, can't even count to 6 FFS.

That was Rauf that time. Both of them are to blame.

LOL at 7 and 5 ball overs. I guess it's still a step up from Rudi...

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Warne says he can get his son to help


SIX!! And a fifty to Swanny!

 

[aussie1st]

Get Rauf off too then.

Much better 50 by Swann, not as streaky as Broad's one and still no chance given.

aussie1st added 2 Minutes and 16 Seconds later...

Ah cmon get our best bowler on for this series. Where is the Hilfy love, Punter? Hes your fellow Tassie boy too.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Harmy!!!!!!

On his Twitter page last night, Graeme Swann wrote "2 ways to view 2morrow, a hopeless cause or a chance for immortality..."

 

[angryangy]

Much better 50 by Swann

Including 5 boundaries behind square on the leg side. I guess if you bowl short at him enough he learns how to play it.

 

[ajdude]

Get the Hilfinator on

As I say it, here he is

 

[Inbox24]

Hilfenhaggles, haggling for this 5 fer.

 

[aussie1st]

Hilfy better get some decent time at this tail after lunch.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

ENGLAND SURVIVE TILL LUNCH!!!


And get 163 runs in 24 overs! Broad and Swann to open for ODIs!!


So then, I guess that was England's session huh? Even if England do lose this match, Broad and Swann have given them some momentum.


Don't know now if Broad should stay or go. Took 6 wickets and hit a fifty. Sure it was a lost cause, but how do you drop a man after a performance like that?

 

[barmyarmy]

Isn't it over yet? What does it say about numbers 3 and 4 when numbers 8 and 9 have probably scored 3 or 4 times as many runs this series?

 

[evertonfan]

You drop him because at present he's not a match winning bowler, and that's what we need at the Oval.

We need to pick the 11 best players in England for the Oval. It won't happen, but give the likes of Ramprakash and Trescothick one last hurrah. I'd feel a lot safer with those two at the top order than Bopara and Bell.
