Well then.

Did say the Aussies would be dangerous

i know nothing about cricket but i thought we were meant to batter them this year ?

Is that 3rd Umpire an Australian? He doesnt give that stumping this morning, which was out. England are 84 ahead. Now that to me looks like Trott hit that.

I don't think he could have given that stumping, and the snicko has just shown no inside edge

Come on England, batter them now. It's in your own hands!

No fair enough Trott was out as I was typing it look like the ball moved. That stumping should have been given. His foot wasnt behind the line, it was on it, when the bail lifted. I know it sounds like tinted specs but Agnew also said it was out.

Thats no excuse for the rubbish that came after the "stumping"

England are 11-2?

FFS!

i can't remember whether i bet on jimmy top wicket tacker. i know i tried to but couldn't find it. will be a cert in my mind, aussie batting line-up is probably the worst in test cricket. (bar zimbabwe and bangladesh obviously). england will lose a wicket here on the edge of close of play - just you watch, they are absolutely terrible at sessions coming to and end

Great conversation between Hussain and Botham about Hussain's bowling just now on Sky. Two first class wickets - one of which was Viv Richards, who retired afterwards.

Quarter to 6. England lead by 2 runs. Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. How very England cricket.

 

[bluejock]

It's because they banned that lad's trumpet.

so what sort of lead do England need here, given the aussies are likely to bat day 4 at the lastest rather than coming in on the last day
