Third Test: Australia v England at Edgbaston

[Gilly Fan]

Full credit to England. Some immense bowling from Onions and Anderson. Absolutely amazing bowling. That last ball was unplayable.

People like Hussey and Johnson need to be shown how to use a cricket bat. It's there for a reason. To hit balls, not leave balls that are on line with the stumps.

I'm amazed he's still umpiring in this series. Surely he's due to go for the next Test. Bring Bowden in, anyone.

Haha.

Johnson better make it up with his bowling perfomance.

Epic rofl.

What a peach that was, great bowling by Anderson.
Well my predictions were close, 2 more wickets and we have basically been bowled all out for 200.

7/77? One of the best England sessions ever?

Nice debut Manou:sarcasm out for 8.

7/77. That's one of the best sessions of bowling i've seen in a lonnnnngggg time if you take out Broad's overs. Well done to England.

Even a fully set Bradman couldn't have played that. You fail

Isn't Anderson world-class? Maybe not when the ball isn't up to much, but when it is, his control and ability to make the ball do things is amazing! Onions started today!

After yesterday Evenings bowling, this really made up somewhat!

Before everyone starts bagging Koertzen for giving all the 50/50s to England there were some very good shouts last night which hawkeye showed as out.

James you beauty!! What a gem!

Incredible. 203/8. Incredible.



Might I just add, this must be the absolute worst series for Johnson ever. And that duck just summed it up. He couldn't believe it, he was just so lost. I feel so sad for him now.

If I was him, I'd be asking the Australian management to give me a couple of games away. Its mentally draining I'm sure, and although its anyones dream to play Ashes cricket, he can go away, work on himself and probably come back for the ODi series and try again.

I feel sad, but as an England fan, we've got Broad...good talent, just not showing it so we're in the same boat.

He could easily be "bagged" for his performance in the last Test too. This "England's 12th man", or whatever, hasn't just come about based on this morning.

That's a very bad post. Come off it, that ball was unplayable.

Jeez, some people these days.

Broad and Flintoff weren't the best this morning by any means. I definietly think we need to bring in Swann instead of opting for those two.

 

[barmyarmy]

I think he's a terrible umpire. Just a shame Taufel or Davies can't umpire Ashes tests.

Just keep bowling Anderson and Onions. Good to see there is life after Fred.
