What a dream test match this has been.

 

[Bazal]

That's an absolutely stunning delivery. Brutal

 

[some11]

Crushing victory.

 

[jargan83]

Wow what a delivery from Johnson

 

[Timbo]

It's going to end tonight.

Ingerlund, Ingerlund, Ingerlund!

 

[Tommy Smith]

England's batting line up... just woeful. The worst I can recall.

And KP sits on the sidelines! Unbelievable. Bell needs to go. Lyth and Ballance are scarcely better.

I'm still sticking with my 4-1 prediction.

 

[8Ball]

These pitches aren't slow enough

From the outside, KP might have the on field talent, but off the field it's pretty clear he's a fracturing influence and that's the last thing England need IMO. Bell is atrocious. Root must bat 3, surely. I would have thought Robson was worth persisting with, and tbh even Carberry showed far more fight than Lyth even if he didn't get the runs. Ali is no number 8, either. If he is to bowl as the spinner, surely he can still bat 6 and run four quicks? Drop Bell, move Root up, Ali up to 6 or 7...he got a savage ball this innings but he's not a bad player.

Twitter in England going into meltdown with their hate of Mitchell Johnson

Leedsrhino was probably one of those fuming guys on twitter:lol:

 

[Bazal]

Broad is a pea heart

 

[Rabbits20]

What a ball too Root!

 

[Bazal]

Haze!!!! Ripper does for Root!!

 

[Timbo]

I am so wildly happy that Root doesn't finish not out.

Their entire top 8, all of whom are 'recognised batsman', have failed. Went out with a total whimper.

 

[8Ball]

Ingerlund Ingerlund

 

[TheParraboy]

9/101

need a further 408 to win

 

[Rabbits20]

But the rain, it was going to rain and save them:lol::lol:

Great, great bowling from our whole attack.

 

[undertaker]

Hard to believe England are already 9 down in the 37th over.

Revenge for being humiliated on Boxing Day in 2010, when we were bowled out for less than 100 and England had already overtaken our 1st innings by stumps that day. We are going to give them the spanking of their life at the home of cricket.

 

[TheParraboy]

Anderson LOL

 

[Bazal]

BOOM!!!! Huge victory!!!

 

[undertaker]

THERE IT IS!

win by 405 runs.
