3RD ASHES TEST: England v Australia at Manchester Aug 1-5, 2013

[AlwaysGreen]

Got to snare a couple with the new nut. Preferably KP Chewing Gum and Bellend

 

[Xfactor1979]

Australia should take the new ball

This one's not doing too much for spin or the pacemen. Siddle got it to go for a little bit but theres not much else

 

[BDR]

ugh. getting ugly.

 

[MrAnonymous]

Well this is looking more and more likely to be a draw

 

[Horrie Is God]

Couple of quick poles and we get the momentum back..

An Akram spell by Starc would be perfect..

 

[LeedsRhinos]

We are the England
The mighty mighty England
We are the Army
The Barmy Barmy Army

 

[MrAnonymous]

Big Wicket

Beautiful ball

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Sweet nut by rhino.

 

[Horrie Is God]

Cheers Harro..

Very timely..

 

[Horrie Is God]

We get one more and we are just about into the tail..which is one short now..

 

[Horrie Is God]

Watto bowling without luck..

KP's french cut didn't miss by much..

The ball is starting to nip around a bit..

 

[Horrie Is God]

And right on cue Starc gets Bairstow..

1 more & we are into the tail..

 

[Horrie Is God]

KP gawne lbw Starc..

 

[Horrie Is God]

9 overs left today..

We are into the tail..


Be nice to get 1 or 2 more tonight..

 

[Horrie Is God]

Lyon bowling beautifully..

Just needs a bit of luck & he'll get the edge..


Getting some nice turn too..

 

[unbreaK]

If we can get these last 3 wickets before they avoid the follow on, it's still extremely game on.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

All the bowlers can stand tall today. Twatto & Rhino kept it tight & Veggieman & Starkers were always threatening. Leo the Lyon looked the goods but still struggles to bowl enough wicket balls.

Excellent innings by KP but I don't think I've ever seen a plumber lbw reviewed and I've seen Twatto review hundreds.

Australia on top and should win this considering their position, England hoping for rain.

 

[TheParraboy]

Doubt we will enforce the follow on if we get it, which is unlikely

Clarke will set them an achievable total , though doubt England will really go for a win

Prior and broad and swann could score some serious runs , so we cant look too far ahead anyway.

lack of a quality spinner showing us up again, id be giving smith and Clarke a few overs

 

[hineyrulz]

We are the England
The mighty mighty England
We are the Army
The Barmy Barmy Army

Gee this merkin pissed of quick again lol.

 

[BDR]

One more wicket would have seen me happy, glad they could get both KP and Bell in the afternoon though.
