Albert Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 When you see a view of him bowling face on, he brings his arm over in a circular motion, but sometimes, either striving for position, or extra pace, he seems to bend his elbow and then straightens it again on delivery, that is a throw in my opinion.The official ruling from the ICC is 15° straightening remember, so even if his arm does bend a bit, it is not a chuck.

Tailenders usually piss themselves when bouncers come their way, but they don't normally use urine as a method of self-preservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Rogers gets his 100. Well deserved. It was well-fought, but probably the luckiest hundred I've ever seen in my life. Could have been out 5 or 6 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB BIGGS Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 It was well-fought, but probably the luckiest hundred I've ever seen in my life. Could have been out 5 or 6 times. Went yesterday. We're struggling a bit. Trott looked very good until he was out. I agree Rogers rode his luck today but he takes some moving. Could do with him back at the County Ground.

StaffsRam Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 We're just drumming up interest down under for the return series. How many tickets are they gonna sell off the back of a 0-5 drubbing? Genius marketing tactics..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeedsCityRam Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Broad gets Harris LBW on review . Broad gets fifer 5-71. Australia 270 all out. Lead by 32 I'd have taken that last night. Since Lords we've been very ordinary - decent batting performance needed today. Big runs due from Cook & Trott and lack of movement with new ball suggests this is a good chance to get them. Would like at least a target of 250 for Aussies to chase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Anything more than a 250 lead and we'll be favourites. 300 lead and 90% there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 An excellent day for England, and the lead is now over 200 with 5 wickets in hand, and Ian Bell batting supremely well again. What a difference a few years makes. When he first played against Australia he resembled a rabbit trapped in headlights, but it's him now who has the full beams on, and Australia's bowlers can't do a thing about it. Another 50 or 70 and England will be very much in the driving-deat, and I would expect Swann to give Australia quite a few difficulties when the time comes.

sage Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I reckon a 200 lead gives us a 40% chance of winning and for every two runs above that our chances increase by 1%. ie 250 = 65% chance 300= 90% chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsCityRam Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Yeah great comeback from England today - could easily have been 100/150 runs behind on first innings & at 49-3 it was looking a bit dicey. All credit to Bell - he played beautifully. As Eddie rightly says, he's come a long way since his first Ashes series in '05 where frankly he was a bit of a liability. Key tomorrow is to get past the new ball without losing both Bell & Prior. If either one of those two are still in after 20 overs in the morning, we could well get a lead of 300 plus & for me, game over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyinLiverpool Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Fantastic match. The very best of test cricket. Punch, counter-punch. Good, accurate bowling, a century. Australia on top, England fightback, Australia fightback, England on top. All in a day. Splendid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
