I wouln't read too much into what it does when Hilfenhaus bowls - he always swings it. Bowler of the series by a mile, imo.

he's swinging, he's swinging! 2o runs in 2 overs since he came in

 

[don_quixote]

whoop whoop!

right james anderson.

now is the time to prove your worth.

well done Broady, first over too. I've always said how good he is :slanted: - isn't there some rule that says when he gets one of the top boys he goes on to play a blinder? if not, is it too late to invent one?

Ponting played on, again - how many times this series?

and now Clarke as well! it's official - this is now crackerjack's law

 

[hucks]

Just going back through the thread, changing any posts I may have made that may have inadvertantly implied that I did not believe Stuart Broad was the saviour of English cricket.

 

[routes]

gwarn broadaaay!

ps. i do love it when ponting does that, surely one of the most agonising ways to get out

 

[baboon2004]

f'ing hell - 3 wickets for 20 runs...

 

[crackerjack]

61-0 to 108-5. fucking fantastic. only 3 1/4 til i can get home for the highlights too

 

[jenks]

What a session!

I'm listening to this on TMS - apparently this fifth Broad wicket was a beauty.

I'm unplugging the phone at 7.15 for C5 coverage - I'm sorry the athletics is going to have to wait.

Could we polish them off before tea?

 

[baboon2004]

FUCKING HELL. Broad could be on his way to becoming a legend.

 

[crackerjack]

172 lead!

suddenly Bell's innings yesterday is looking like the work of a Bradman

 

[jenks]

lost 10 wickets for 87

Please let's not 'England' it now. 172 ahead. Let's put on another 350 and see Swann bowl on the Day 4 pitch.

Alternatively it could all be over by tomorrow teatime, either way!

 

[baboon2004]

Only a complete bunch of clueless fuckwits could fuck this up now.

Gulp.

 

[hucks]

Ngghhhffffffffffffffffffffmggggggggggggg

 

[jenks]

I know this should be all about how great England have been but Colly has to be dropped and maybe Cook needs someone to have a proper word with him.
