The Ashes

Is this moribund?

 

Right that's enough of that, time for a cheese sandwich and a cuppa.

 

What's with the frigging music, bit naff.

 

Agreed.

Bowling figures of 25 overs, 2 wickets for 117 runs (across both innings) is dire for a frontline fast bowler.

Add to that his measly 2 runs scored with the bat and chuck in poor fielding and THAT dropped catch and I'm struggling to see what he really contributes.

Finn out for the next test and Onions in.

 

Lords - starts on Thursday.

Yeah I am being a bit harsh perhaps - but he got both hands to it - the ball went through the gap in the middle so he clearly had the flight tracked well enough.

I think if you asked him - he'd say that he'd expect to hold it.

 

He's Haddin' back to the pavillion, what an ending, wish I could see this hotspot.

 

That's what you call a Dirty Victory. Stand up Broad, your cheating delivered the win.

 

It doesn't say in the rules that he had to walk.

I doubt Michael Clarke would've walked had the same thing happened to him - he's got previous anyway.

 

If the umpires could get their decisions right England might have wrapped this up yesterday.

 

So cricket is full of cheats. No better than footballers.

 

The general consensus is that wrong decisions that go against you and wrong decisions that go for you balance out. Call that cheating if you will. Why single out Broad though? I can think of at least two Aussies that didn't walk in this match.
