Ashes 4th Test at Trent Bridge

By:
Well I did say, before this series started, that Stuart Broad, would have a couple of great spells, where he'd get 3 or 4 wickets in a spell of bowling, as he had done this throughout his Test Match career, but today he ripped that up taking 8 in a spell.

If the wicket remains good for the next 3 days, Aus still in with a slim chance if they can knock over England for not too many more. Their top order capable of making a big score on a batting friendly wicket.

Aus won the last Ashes 5-0 I believe. So its not as bad as that as Eng in Aus. Aus also won a world cup in between. They are playing like a bunch of front running pea hearts at the moment though.

So true regarding the comparison between Ponting and Warne in the comm box, Lady Marge. I think Ponting has been outstanding and a real breath of fresh air. Capable of thorough objectivity and offering up some great insights. Warne, on the other hand, can only ever see things through the prism of his own rampant jingoism.

the difference is england were marginal favourites going down under last time and it was always gonna be difficult just a few months after the home series. england were on a hiding to nothing then
this time oz were massive favourites. very few gave england a prayer. also several australian players shot their mouths off pre tour dismissing england's chances in a manner no england player would ever talk about the opposition |

By:
No matter what sport England play, if England are underdogs, they play well above themselves, but if they are favourites, they play poorly and I think that is just the way it is with with British Sports Men

Cloudy morning, but its not doing much, because there is no new ball, available in 13 overs time, about an hour, when the sun is due to come out. Also Australia cannot afford to have 5 slips and are very much on the defensive.

And Mcilroy

Yes, they do, but it is more team sports, that I was talking about. When I was a youngster, I always got taught to be a good loser Aand that is wrong, you should be a bad loser and not want to lose.

By:
And of course neither Murray or Mclroy are Englishmen.

By:
Most the English cricket team aren't English either.

By:
The England mens football team seem to be only capable of beating inferior opposition. When did they last beat a top 6 team when it mattered? Lewis Hamilton, Brad Wiggins, Chris Hoy, Jess Ennis and Mo Farrah seem to win when they are favourites on the big stage. We are much better at individual sports than team ones over the years.

By:
Michael Clark was asked if he had won the toss would he have batted or bowled on the opening day.
He answered, he wasn't sure so decided to do both.  |
|
By:
Shame that Root gave his wicket away so easily but a great effort. We might struggle to last until lunch now.

As it was only used for 18 overs, can England ask to have the same ball for the second innings?
 |
|
By:
they can ask, but they won't get
|

By:
Srarc bowling, outstandingly well.
|
|
By:
id laugh so hard if Starc got 9
|
|
By:
letting it slip a bit here..eng
keep the foot on the throat |
|
By:
how many do Aussie's need in second innings assuming England have a lead of 300 after theres.
|
|
By:
I'd say 550
|
|
By:
Johnson has been poor here when Australia needed him
|
|
By:
Aussie's bowling hasnt been tooooo bad. It's the batting. How are you supposed to win a game when your batsman are 15-5

By:
the 'enforcer' to get his maiden test century to really cap things off?
