[TheParraboy]

Some rain forecast from lunch (London time) and also all day tomorrow

Not as severe last test but suspect we do lose a decent amount of time nonetheless

2-1 result on its way?

I guess an at best result of a drawn series counts as "the top" for English Cricketers.

well, in terms of his bowling, he remains as good as ever, which was obviously his point...

but they've always loved a good victory lap following a draw

Yep, just one of those guys who is taller than you think.

Guard of honor for Broad

Davey to trip him over?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I regard rhat standing ovation and guard of honour as void.

 

[TheParraboy]

Bouncer barrage on its way..

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Let's pepper them with short balls but put no one in close.

Although he made his first test appearance vs Australia during the 2009 Ashes series, it surprised me to learn that Broad had been around much longer...

I didn't realise his first match vs Australia was a 3-day tour match for Leicestershire during the 2005 Ashes tour, taking the wickets of Gilchrist and Brett Lee

Double century to Chris Rogers in the 2nd innings ensured the match ended a draw:

Our bowlers are deadset Simple Jack's. Broad looking to hit across the line of the ball and we just keep feeding the shot he's trying to play.

 

[TheParraboy]

Give Broad a 6 last ball of the over so Jimmy has the strike next over

Genius tactics, you cant change my mind..
