Burnsy1 hundred 'a watershed moment'
By Brett Shett in Birmingham

Burnsy1 made his first test century

Burnsy1's first hundred in a test match was described as a 'watershed' moment by his captain evertonfan as he whacked the Aussies all over the place on the second day of the third test.

Resuming overnight on 56, Burnsy1 carried on and finished unbeaten on 156 as his side were all out for a mammoth 556.

17 fours and a six frustrated the Australians, but they had success at the other end with Mercules out early for 87 and no one else managed to get going.

For once IloveGilly was unsuccessful with the ball, ending with figures of 2-105 from 31 overs.

Pakistani Army removed hedger14 early on in the tourists' reply for 24 but a fifty from Roofrom50 and a slow 18 not out from the skipper Feelin Blue? steadied things.



Stumps, Day 2
England 1st innings: 556 (Burnsy1 156*, Will NA 124, Mercules 87, Giggity Giggity 64)
Australia 1st innings: 112-1 (36 overs)
Australia are 444 runs behind​

[Hooper]

Why would you post that?

This is the 3rd Test aye?

 

[Skater]

Why would you post that?

This is the 3rd Test aye?

Because people wanted to see the scorecards.

 

[Hooper]

Why don't you post the 3rd test scorecard with all the innings in it? So we can see exactly how we beat you?

 

[Skater]

I will when I get round to it. You can only save individual innings so I'll do that and put them together.

 

[mattfb]

Yeeahhh!!! Huge ton. What a captains knock. Good win there.

 

[Hooper]

I will when I get round to it. You can only save individual innings so I'll do that and put them together.

Team news: WORLD CHAMPIONS ruled out of rest of series while England contemplate changes after Edgbaston disaster

By Brett Shett in Leeds​

Australia will be led by vice captain Feelin Blue? for the remaining two tests of the PlanetCricket Ashes after it was confirmed WORLD CHAMPIONS would miss the rest of the series with injury.

The pseudoindian skipper scored two fifties in the first match of the series at Sophia Gardens but suffered an unfortunate boning knife accident in his London hotel room prior to the second game at Lord's.

Feelin Blue? lost his first match in charge to a determined England team but scored a massive 181 in the last test at Edgbaston to put his country 2-1 up with two to play.

The visitors' camp has not ruled out further changes to strengthen their bowling attack, but said these would not be revealed until Thursday, the first morning of the Headingley test.

For the England squad, movements are expected after an embarrassing defeat in the last test. Little was being given away but Jaztheman is expected to make his debut after being added to the home squad for the Birmingham test.

 

[Hooper]

Oh no! What are we going to do?! Our beloved captain is out?!

 

[Burnsy1]

you see I can do it when I need to. abysmal performance though on our end we need to fight back hard in the next game. Hopefully wickets and runs.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Awesome I hit a century. I'm a gun.
