Have you not seen them?

The stumping is poor one as is Root's (although he could have reviewed, so it's not that bad), but Trott's is absolutely disgraceful.

Who cares?

Rodgers decision look suspect, and no doubt the Aussies will get others throughout the series

Look back through the thread, I called Rodgers' poor at the time, nowhere near as bad as any of those three though.

Yeah, that's the point, I don't care, and people shouldn't get hung up about it

It all evens out
 
KP rarely goes on to get a decent score after being not out overnight.
Bell is not playing well.

Need to get through tomorrow morning and only lose 1 wicket max.

Would take 320-7 at the end of the day

You are missing the point

I always go with the onfield umpires decision, even when wrong, totally against technology

To overturn a correct decision was shocking though

What a days play


Brilliant stuff

Anyone half want Aussies to win? I want the Durham game to be important
 
Not half getting grief at work today :lol:

Couple of the English lads said they wanted Agar to go on to get the century. Fuck that.

Incredible though and would have been a pleasure to watch were it not against us.

no one gives a flying fuck about sport in our office except me... which has been quite disappointing in general lately, but not today...

No one was fussed about the Lions games and not many give a shit about football. Mostly NRL fans. But last night brought a few out of the woodwork!

Mind the most in depth conversations are with the Indian lads :-D
 
It's not looking too clever. :neutral: Hoping for a big performance from Cook today to swing it in our favour.

I was thinking that.

I dont think the series is as far apart as what some think in any case. Their batting is weak and their bowlers dont strike any fear into me at all but England appear a little fragile at the moment, especially in the batting department. Hopefully today they go and prove me wrong and rack up 400+

The talent is there but I'm not convinced by Cook as captain and how much confidence he gives the side.

We are better in all departments, its just the usual England starting a series slowly syndrome.

I think the Aussies might just squeeze a victory out of this one, unless England can get a lead of 250, but they will still lose the series.
 
The one thing the first two days has proved is that there is no better test match series than the ashes.

This has all the makings of another great summer.
 
3 days left of this test match, cook and pietersen can go as slow as last night if they want, even if they score only 200 runs today !

No silly shots, we can still post a good total...

Any good links to watch the test match ?????

If Pietersen is in by the close of play we will definitely have scored more than 200 runs.
