For two days is a rarity I know and my point wasn't really that they could bat for two days more that they could bat better than first innings just as we've done today (bear in mind that was posted just after tea when the lead was a lot less than now). There hasn't been massive turn still for Swanny and I still think this one's not over yet. Remember we lost our last 4 wickets for just 2 runs in the first so the lead could still be achievable with a day and a half left. We've really fought hard today and I'm over the moon with how Bell went about his innings. Patient and yet rarely got bogged down for too long without picking off the bad balls and dispatching them for boundaries. Should be another good days cricket tomorrow and I wouldn't bet against a few more twists and turns yet. We're now in a good spot...fingers crossed we ram our advantage home Enjoy the atmos
Funny seeing convict spawn Clarke's face when it was given not out Quid pro quo old boy quid pro quo http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&so...3GgIAF&usg=AFQjCNEU3QUEeB6ua7z2q9Vv9s0VS8AyYA
82-0 need another 230 to win. We need to break this partnership as the pitch doesn't seem to be offering much assistance.
Could be a very nervy finish tomorrow. Their lower order are no mugs so if these 2 can get them close anything is possible. Could be another edgbaston......
its really down to one hero... cricket is interesting in that it affords each player an individual chance to take the glory and be the hero.... right now there's two australians the entire game hinges or and for us there's swan who's yet to really break into stride. you never know who's going to turn the thing next.
It does offer the chance to be a hero but that person needs a partner to achieve that aim #gettheothertenoutinstead
yup... but the ehro will be the guy who takes the wickets or socres the runs. borad stuck in but bell got the century and plaudits yesterday.... 50 for the first wicket tomorrow will be sweeky bum time.
haddin is giving it a damned good go. one wicket v 20 runs finn should be hung drawn and quartered as a traitor to the corwn... or we could just consider it a massive over reaction.
Blimey, what a match and what a finish. Thought I was going to be proved wrong at the end. We were sat next to a bloke from Mansfield yesterday, do you know him?
