"Can we play you, can we play you, can we play you every week"

Haha love the Barmy Army add to the one they're singing now...

"Are you Scotland in disguise?"

 

[barmyarmy]

What a straight drive. Maybe Broad should bat at 3. He's got better technique than Bopara.

The cheek We're not that bad.

Colin, your hatred for Bopara alarms me.

 

[barmyarmy]

You're an Essex fan - you wouldn't understand. I've been pretty consistent in saying he shouldn't be a test player.
Good signs for Swann when he bowls here.

Andrewflintoff goes.:cryingGreat innings by him really useful time for broad action:happy

 

[Themer]

I hope that Swann and Broad have a whack here if we got to 100 we would still have a slim chance of pushing a win.

 

[evertonfan]

Unlucky way to go for Fred. Really needed him to stay in and push the lead past 100 to try and force a win. I reckon we've still got enough in us to scramble out another 50 or so runs though. Depends what mood our tail is in.

 

[barmyarmy]

I'm not so sure rolling the Aussies over a second time will be straight forward. Ball isn't swinging all the time and if it waits until 30 overs to swing that will be too late.

 

[Themer]

Whats Warne on about, get rid of the Duke so everywhere's the same? Whats the point in that, its part of the test is bowling with the English ball. For as much as I've liked Warne's commentating so far in the series thus far he's been annoying today.

 

[barmyarmy]

Also don't get rid of the ball that actually swings more when pitches around the world are batsmen's paradises.

Awww, bloody hell i was enjoying that Flintoff innings. Really took my mind off having swine flu. :doh

 

[barmyarmy]

Well done Swanny. Great knock. And Jiimmy avoids the duck.

Do Peugeot not realise that they've shown that ad so often that that will now be the last car I buy. Ever.

 

[evertonfan]

Lol Mitch is a joke. Lost his battle with Fred so he picks fights with our tail-enders instead. And he still gets billed around.

 

[Themer]

I'd love to see Broad get a bowl at Johnson after that would like to see if it gets Broad going at all.
