[Cricket] Fourth Ashes Test - England v Australia - Trent Bridge

[Simster]

and that is a BEAUTIFUL COVER DRIVE from the nightwatchman... Johnson will be spitting feathers

As Shane Warne just alluded to, this bowling is absolute gash. A night watchman needs to be roughed up before pitching it up. And so much rubbish bowled around his legs too.

 

[Titanic]

England 297-5 (70.3 overs), leading by 237

Root out for 130... Starc takes his fourth wicket... driving outside off... edge through to Nevill.

Well batted Joe

 

[Simster]

Good delivery by Starc, who looks MUCH better than Johnson this morning.

 

[Pantani]

Root looks devastated to get out. He should have just waited for Starc to get bored of bowling wide.

 

[Titanic]

England 301-5

Wood edges Johnson through the slips with a flashing drive... tipped over the bar by Smith

leading by 241 with 5 wickets in hand, game moving along nicely.

 

[Titanic]

OMG that is the best of the lot. DRIVING ON THE UP through cover. FOUR more

Johnson is having an utter 'MARE

27 off 27 balls, 5 fours, for Mark Wood.

 

[BensGrandad]

What we ideally need now with our lead is for the pitch to help the bowlers and they bowl us out for aanother 50 runs which would auger well for us when we bowl again.

 

[Simster]

Our nightwatchman is now on double anything any Australian batsman managed.

 

[Titanic]

Starc has FIVE.

Brilliant yorker.

Wood gone for an impressive 28 from 32 balls (with 5 fours)

England 306-6

 

[Titanic]

Our nightwatchman is now on double anything any Australian batsman managed.

Nice

(not that I believe in any of that tosh!)

 

[Simster]

 

[Titanic]

England LEAD by 250

310-6

 

[pasty]

Ah, bugger it. Let Stokes, Butler and Ali have a slap around and see how far in front we can get anyway.

 

[Titanic]

Johnson out of the attack... just two away from his century.

20 - 2 - 98 - 0

 

[Titanic]

Buttler DRIVES Hazlewood, who fares no better than the hapless Johnson, through the covers and straight for two FOURs

319-6, 259 lead and counting...

 

[Titanic]

STARC is on FIRE.

Buttler castled... swung in, full pitched... stumps flying!

320-7

This bit of swing and seam is good to see

 

[pasty]

Oops. Butler gone. Starc has 6

 

[Simster]

That's a superb delivery. Starc has bowled brilliantly.

All pointless conjecture really. England could be all out by lunchtime, with a lead of 300, and the game will take its natural course.

Er, maybe.

 

[Pantani]

That was a beauty. Late late swing. Could be Australia batting again pretty soon at this rate.

 

[Bozza]

Bizarre shot there from Buttler. Either he was expecting it to swing by even more than it did, or he was going to miss the ball by a mile.

Edit: no, just my eyes being rubbish!
