Third Test: Australia v England at Edgbaston

[Akash00]

Any reason why England aren't using Swann?

 

[Howsie]

He was very good against West Indies and he'll come good against Australia eventually. I hope he does anyway.

He wasn't that great, if I remember correctly he was dropped a number of times. He's a talent for sure but I don't feel as though he's a test match number three batsmen.

I suggested they bring in spin about 15 overs ago

I guess you're not watching the game then?

Because the ball is swinging.

Yeah, but with West Indies you actually bat about 4 times in a match. Mostly because you are dropped twice somewhere during your innings.

Mattt stop trying to be controversial mate, by making both of the batsmen struggle the chances of a wicket increase. That's basically it.

If 1 bowler is making 1 batsmen struggle then keep bowling him. Simple.

Or maybe England should get the wicket. I mean Hilfy is almost as bad as Watson at batting.

 

[Fatal Shot]

Bring on Collingwood. The batsman might fancy their chances and get out.

Good on him for making the most of his second chances, but Australia aren't going to make basic errors like that. TBH though the West Indian bowling was pretty much as good as the aussie bowling has been this tour........

I remember him being dropped a few times but he was still very good and showed alot of potential. I doubt he's a number three, i'd move him down the order.

 

[Fatal Shot]

IIRC Fidel Edwards had like 6 catches dropped off him, yet he still took a 5fer. I really felt like crying for him.

 

[CaptainOZ]

Gawd, get this last wicket already!!

lol, it's not that impressive. You can hear the one guy leading them so it's almost silent there lol.

Hey, Hauritz and Hilfy are actually surviving! They`re batting better than half the Aussie team atm.
