are they playing for a 3 days test

people saying that Twenty20 cricket is more exciting that test matches etc


Have a look at todays action and tell me this isnt exciting

Test match action are exciting, just 20/20 is generally more interesting to watch.

Interesting fact on Sky tonight, apparently the highest successful run chase effort at the Oval is 263.
Currently England are 230 ahead.
Come on England.

Can the Captain break his overnight hoodoo?

We'll see very shortly.
Here's hoping.

The Ashes is the boom, it's the greatest test matches anyone can play in.

T20 is amazing.

Strauss out for 75



157-4

Is the clapping serious?

Yet another England batsman makes a start but does not go on to rack up a big score

Have you seen the track?

Incase you havent been taking notice of the pitch its fooked which makes the 75 is a pretty good score!!

On that "pitch" I would say the 75 is more like a 120-150 on a good pitch

Flintoff been and gone 22 from 18 balls he wasnt gonna be around long with some of the shots he was playing

Broad too, a short life but a gay one.
Gay in its pre 60s meaning.

500 in front now!

Cant be long until we stick them in!!!

Let Trott get his ton then declare

Rub their noses in it.
Tail to keep on swinging.
Plenty of time & a good weather forecast.
Well batted Trott, well played selectors.
Aussies cocked up their selection big style, should have picked Hauritz instead of Stuart Clark.

Never mind celebrities in the crowd and fancy f***ing dress (it's been done to death, stop it and stop it now), we have a hundred from a man with a proper cricketer's name, Trott!
Strauss? Pietersen? With an 'i'? I ask you! Trott, more like it!
All we need now is Peter West with the aftermatch presentations and we'll have had a match!

GAME ON

declared at last

Im not so sure Trott was out mind I think it bounced but meh

Wait for Broad to get the nod. He's going to get a massive cheer that lad.

Still born in South Africa though & represented them at U15 & U19 level.
Another boring factoid except for us stattos, England now have 4 men in the side who scored 100s in their first test.

At the rate they are scoring runs the Aussies will win this

Aussies will win, now that would be bloody funny!!

So far so good.
Just keep chipping away.

I have only just remembered its on
