Third Test: Australia v England at Edgbaston

[Covvy]

Australia can't win, it's impossible. We'd need like to get a 150 lead during the second session and bowl you guys out.

Superman keeping. Good effort.

This should be a draw. But England rolled us in the first innings and could have us all out an hour after lunch.

Feelin Blue? added 1 Minutes and 36 Seconds later...

We won't declare though because we don't need a win.

But this is a 5th(or 4th) day pitch.

Barely a third day pitch when you think about how many overs have been bowled.

 

[Covvy]

Yeah we'd have to be bowled out.

 

[mattfb]

Yeah we'd have to be bowled out.

Which is a huge possibility. How much confidence do you have in North, Manou and Johnson to stop a collapse? Personally I've got next to none.

Manou to make a ton on debut

 

[aussie1st]

Probably time to get Anderson on and see if it is swinging. Swann caused Watson some problems had him all over the place.

 

[Howsie]

Manou to make a ton on debut

Not a fan of Manou then...

 

[aussie1st]

Flintoff giving Watson some of his own medicine here. Hes going to be in some pain tomorrow.

 

[mattfb]

HAHA COP THAT SON!

He'll be out any second.

 

[Covvy]

Watto will get out soon.

 

[Howsie]

Watto will get out soon.

Nah, he will go on and make a century.

 

[OffCutters]

Watson to edge a short and wide ball!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Doesn't look like a wicket is going to fall anytime soon. Huss and Wato in the 40s. Swann's going well but both batsmen are playing him, Freddie isn't giving runs away but isn't looking like taking a wicket, Jimmy A not yet introduced.

 

[aussie1st]

Strauss is waiting a bit too long to bring Anderson on. Probably should have started him to see if there was anything.
