    I once took 6-14 in 4 overs in a 20 over game, but I think that performance by Broad just edges it... <whistle>

    GET YOUR Australian batsman name by adding 'b Broad' to the end of your surname...

    I have tickets for the 4th day with Mrs Olddellboy, together with a picnic hamper. Wonder what the refund policy is????

    I'm not so sure Chilco. I bet yours was against decent opposition :)

    Warwickshire lost a lot of money from refunds for Day 4 tickets in the last Test, so I imagine this one will be similar. Can you get the hamper sent to your house?

    From memory, it was the Rose and Crown in Larkhall, Bath. They were the Australia of pub teams, i.e. the ones everyone wanted to beat!

    Lyth and Bell need to be dropped.

    So that's 12 wickets in 2 hours and 50 minutes of play!

    Come now Chilco, you're being a bit modest there. I mean if you bowled 10 overs like Broad did you would have taken all 10 wickets. Therefore Chilco > Broad. :)

    Bell got 50's in both innings in the last Test, so I can't agree with you about him. Lyth on the other hand...

    I'm torn on Lyth. We can't keep chopping and changing openers although he needs runs PDQ. Bell did well at Edgbaston so I agree with you.

    Apart from being a foot shorter and twice his age and weight, I am very similar, it's true!

    At least you haven't invoked the anger of virtually a whole continent like Broad did. :)

    England take the lead after facing the exact same amount of balls Australia faced. :)
