Dan Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 KP was going for runs quickly and he did, teams can score fast and not give up wicket after wicket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plubby Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Really? Because it looks like he was utterly pedestrian.

Dan Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 His first 70 came off like, 90 balls didn't it? He slowed down a bit later on, fair enough. Clarke is the only really good consistant batsman in the Aussie camp right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Rosler Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 https://twitter.com/CricketAus/status/364310431701012480 "Not like this" indeed... An England victory due to a weather enforced 'draw' would be horrible, especially after the performances in the first two Tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plubby Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 You mean after the performance (singular) in the second test, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatman Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'm an Aussie and I think that was a little harsh... Surely with a knick, even the tiniest the ball would deviate its course or at least change it's spin which it didn't but where does that noise come from? Sounds like he hit it for sure... Still nowhere near as bad as the khawaja decision... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plubby Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I actually thought the direction of the spin DID change, but I did want another look at it to be sure and they didn't show me the angle I wanted again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatman Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 To me it just looked like it continued its same path... I think the snicko has given me enough evidence to say he did hit it now anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I went to pick up my daughter at 174-4 or something like that, and came back to see the last two wickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Not a fan of the line up today. Hopefully Woakes and Kerrigan. Don't know much about the latter but I'm not a huge fan of Woakes. Bresnan and one other has been dropped, got a feeling it might be Swann, can't see it being Broad after Lehmann's comments this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
