Third Test: Australia v England at Edgbaston

[barmyarmy]

Yeah 98 overs today.
Here's the plan:

England bat for 98 overs @ 3.5 = 343 (+ 116)
Lead of 196.
Aus start the final day needing to score 196 to avoid losing by an innings. They are bowled out in 70 overs for 240. England chase the 50 they need to win with 8 wickets in hand.

It could happen...

I`m going for a draw for this match. Australia have no chance of winning this match.

I actually think there's a decent chance of this happening. Yes, me. I do. I think this could happen.

It won't though. We'll probably lose today.

A bit of swing for both bowlers, not going crazy like Anderson though.

 

[dajesmac]

Cricinfo says only 91 overs today by the way.

 

[evertonfan]

That's because Anderson's probably the best swinger of the ball in world cricket. He's certainly the best out of these two sides.

And anybody else hear Warne's commentary a couple of overs ago? "You used to be able to just twat those".

 

[Cricketdude]

Well done Rudi. Well done.

 

[CaptainOZ]

Why is Rudi not giving these LBW's out? Wow.

 

[evertonfan]

Rudi's awesome.

 

[aussie1st]

That looked good live and on replay. Good bowling by Siddle, getting some good inswing and seam movement.

 

[Aditya]

Out given not out rudi rock.

 

[brad352]

He's a worse judge of what's hitting the stumps than Mike Hussey

 

[angryangy]

I think Anderson bowled more crap than Onions.

 

[irottev]

Don't get much plumber than that. Rudi must be involved in match fixing or just hate Australia. That or he's just bad and needs to be sacked.

DISGRACE.

 

[CaptainOZ]

Warne says that Rudi is a nice guy but he is out of form - and he doesn't know what's out and what is not!
