Ashes 2013

[SOCCERROO FOX]

Save the pissing on the floor until you get to the Royal on boxing day.

Poor batting but Broad at it again. Loving the hush of the crowd with every Broad wicket

[chrishlcfc]

Good time to strike for England much needed and deserved wicket, Broady's bowling well. 

[Guest MattP]

BROAD ON FIRE!

Demolition job right now. Take one more wicket and we're into the tail.

Need to finish this off now, whatever happens a fantastic start though.

 

Par was considered to be 450.

[SOCCERROO FOX]

We need to eek out 250 here to have any chance, can still see a draw weather looks grim next 4 days. Storms forcastd each arvo but might be after close of play

Brad Haddin is a slight irritant!

[ScouseFox]

Ohhhhh pretty broaddddyyyyyy

[ealingfox]

Very decent start. Don't know how I am going to do all these late nights though, feel fooked now, and I only stayed up until lunch!

[Corky]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

You can't ignore him now.

[Guest MattP]

Was a stunning performance from Broad. Really was, wrap these up tonight in a few of overs and we are in a great position to end the Gabba hoodoo.

[absolutelegend]

Sooooooooo tired today, did the full 12->7am stint last night.  The first half was especially worth it!

[marko]

Stayed up 'til tea and although I was wide awake, decided to hit the sack and record the evening session to avoid being a wreck today.

 

Excellent day and just a shame we couldn't break that Haddin-Johnson partnership earlier but would have bitten your hand off for having them 8 down for less than 300 at stumps.

 

Has anyone seen the latest from that Courier Mail rag who vowed not to mention his name? Well worth a look.

Great effort. Would love to do this but I would be constantly tired for the next month!

very good - I thought that USA was supposed to be an irony-free zone the Aussies are doing their best to challenge their status with all this Broad stuff . For the hard of thinking Broad did what aussies all do - awaited the umpire's decision . If Clarke hadn't wasted all his appeals trying it on ......oh what's the point?!
