Rain expected over the weekend, that's a shame!

Praying for the rain already? ;-)

Clarke gone

 

[BunniesMan]

I think 550 is a bit unrealistic at this stage. Brilliant knock from the captain.

 

[Horrie Is God]

The dreaded 187..

Well played Pup..

 

[BDR]

Bit back hard at him, it was always going to be an awkward one like that if they were going to get him.

Hads should open up with the tail and race us as close to 500 as he can now.

 

[TheParraboy]

enter the magnificent one

Is Stuart Broad overrated? only wicket off an arsy shot and has been quite ordinary all series. Bowled too short this test.

Better than any bowler you've got :lol:

Broad's career has sorta been like that. Goes for long periods for not many wickets.. Then suddenly gets a bag from nowhere...

 

[typicalfan]

No he isn't.

 

[LeedsRhinos]

Bowled him, Swanny!

Here comes the collapse

 

[BunniesMan]

Cracker of a delivery. Stupidity from Siddle. More heart than brains.

 

[TheParraboy]

7/430

bloody hell, we wont get to 450

Geez Swann is a fantastic bowler. It's tough not having that reliable tweaker in the side who you can bank on to take wickets when they're needed.

 

[BDR]

Expected LeedsRhino to show up when Davey got out! Guess he couldn't risk showing his face while established batsmen were still at the crease :lol:

Starc, Harris and Lyon are no mugs. Reckon Hads will get to 50 at least.

I think he benefits from the pressure Anderson and Swann build up. He can be dangerous but can be loose.
Bit like Lee when Warne and McGrath built pressure.
