[the Ashes] first test Trent Bridge

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Great innings by Bell. England in control now, can't see the Aussies winning this now.

There's some T20 on tonight for you.

Not a bite, I see your white text you tinker.

 

[mackembhoy]

What do people reckon for tomorrow.

Just smack it till lunch or declare with a 300 lead and get some overs in before lunch?

Knowing Cook we'll keep batting like this til Tea if possible.

Keep them on the field for as long as possible. If we're still batting halfway through the afternoon then maybe have a hit before tea. Break their spirit, make the last wicket a relief not a celebration......

 

[brandon]

Another 100 tomorrow please :-D

 

[hefty em]

Cracking knock by Bell, we were due one off him like, but it's one that matters.


Tomorra? Bat, bat, and bat some more.

 

[Weasel501]

Strauss is making an awesome attempt to retain his hair like isnt he - what a f***ing clip

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

I wonder if they ban him like they did Ramdin?

I ain't seen it yet but same thing innit?

 

[hawes mackem]

Well done ian bell and stuart broad, bell certainly deserves his hundred, and broad a tad lucky, but otherwise been supporting bell, another 60 runs and we will be favourites !

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

Was close, very close

Dont think we will bat past lunch, but should get another 60 runs, should be enough...

Another 80 runs from him and it evens the agar decision.

Ian Bell well played, he needed to play that innings imo, another 5 runs would be well deserved.

As an England fan would love another 90 runs. As a cricket fan 20-40 runs would make a very interesting 4th innings.

We're favourites already, Aussies won't be able to chase this total. Biggest run chase at Trent Bridge in a test is 280-odd IIRC.

 

[mackembhoy]

Didn't realise ali cook posted on here a lot of defensive replies.

I already think we have enough here.

We'll not be declaring. Put it that way.
