"It's a while since he made a hundred, wouldn't he love to make one here?"

Bang!

 

[MasterBlaster76]

broad what what are you smoking you legend thats three quick wickets:rtfl

 

[Biggy]

Is that the second last (or last) time we see Hussey out in the middle..?

Stepping into the boots of freddie here and showing for a session atleast he has what it takes to act as big freds replacement if he can continue to progress as he is.

England's fast bowlers figures make for interesting reading from this series:

Andrew Flintoff: 7 wickets at 50.85, best of 5/92
Steve Harmison: 2 wickets at 56.50 best of 2/98
James Anderson: 12 wickets at 40.58 best of 5/80
Graham Onions: 10 wickets at 30.30, best of 4/58
Stuart Broad: 14 wickets at 32.21, best of 6/91

Broad's figures are more than respectable, interesting to note that our bowler with the best average is the one that got dropped. Makes sense.......

My god, Broad is on fire. 3 for Broad. Excellent bowling.

5 in a lost cause at Headingley. They're a bit misleading. The comparison with Flintoff is interesting though. Broad has certainly outbatted him and outbowled him.

 

[Howsie]

Well done Stuart Broad, you acknowledged the umpire for once.

Beautiful ball though, it moved so late.

Poor Hussey, he might only have one test innings left Australia now.

 

[Sureshot]

Clarke in now. Their best player in this series. If Broad can get him in this spell, it'll be fantastic.

 

[King Pietersen]

5 more than the rest of our attack got. Don't see why those wickets are discredited, he bowled well and I felt he deserved them. Sure it was in a lost cause, but he outperformed the rest of our bowlers.

Hussey's poor form continues...Aus loosing the control which they had bout 20 mins ago..They need good partnership here...

Ponting's aura is fast going away.

You need to go slap yourself. That's a terrible comment.

He has the 3rd most runs of any batsman in the history of test cricket, the 2nd most hundreds and is one of the greatest batsmen to have ever played a game and now you're saying his 'aura is fast going away'? Oh dear.

All test wickets count tbh. But the batsmen were just trying to hit out at the end, it was hardly good bowling. More luck then anything tbh. Anyway's he's bowling well now, enjoy it I know you are.

No more making fun of Broad now! Awesome spell of bowling, Hussey is in serious trouble now especially if we lose and he does nothing in the next innings.

Maybe wrong choice of words what I was getting at was as an opposition you don't fear him punishing you like he use to in his prime. Same happened for Hayden.

 

[blake]

Broad is shithouse. I wouldn't be scared to face him. No idea what Hussey is doing now, he's in crap form though so really if he made more than 10 runs it was a win for us.

Adios Mr. Cricket! :crying

Australia need someone to make a hundred here and it has to be Katich, he's now well-set at the crease.
