Corky Posted 13 December 2013 Posted 13 December 2013 Johnson looks so threatening when on form and banging it in short and aiming for the grill. It looks natural. Broad appears to try too hard and it becomes predictable.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 13 December 2013 Posted 13 December 2013 I know you're not Asian, I got called it as well in Sydney when I said I was from Leicester by someone. P.S Its 40 mins everywhere! That's a lie no one Aussie knows where Leicester is let alone it's stereotype demographic......so must of been a Pommy
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 13 December 2013 Posted 13 December 2013 You're going to break me aren't you? Yes, yes I am haha
Uncle Albert Posted 13 December 2013 Posted 13 December 2013 Johnson looks so threatening when on form and banging it in short and aiming for the grill. It looks natural. Broad appears to try too hard and it becomes predictable. God knows where you have created that assumption, Broad has been our best bowler this tour and is by far England's best short bowler.. I said yesterday with the eleven I picked which has turned out to be the eleven England have gone with should make us less predictable but again we weren't. Australia have always played the short ball well, there batsman are full of confidence minus Rogers and Watson' so what do we do, bowl fuller to them pair and bowl shorter at the ones who have scored runs.. Warner, Clarke and Haddin all got out for not executing the shots, not really anything special about the bowling! We've taken six wickets but it could of been so much worse, Warner should have gone on to make a big score and maybe Clarke should have as well, he was hitting the ball so sweetly in that 24. Anyway tonight/tomorrow is a new day, maybe if Broad and Bresnan can get some fire in their bellies and have genuine scary pace and attack these pair then maybe we'll have them all out for 350-370!
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 14 December 2013 Posted 14 December 2013 Anderson and Broad have bowled well today
Matt Posted 14 December 2013 Posted 14 December 2013 Wow just woke up, got them out for 385, gotta say I'm impressed, done well there. Now, time to be disappointed by our batting...
Guest MattP Posted 14 December 2013 Posted 14 December 2013 Should have been 350 mate terrible captaincy. Three it four straight through slip from tail. If the batsman fail get they need shooting, this is the best pitch of the series, no movement and you only need to touch it and it flies away.
katieakita Posted 14 December 2013 Posted 14 December 2013 Time to just bat and bat, Looking good at the moment 54-0.
The People's Hero Posted 14 December 2013 Posted 14 December 2013 Seen at least a couple of different Leicester City/Leicestershire flags in the crowd Marsh. Either of them anything to do with your lot?

Guest MattP Posted 14 December 2013 Posted 14 December 2013 Seen at least a couple of different Leicester City/Leicestershire flags in the crowd Marsh. Either of them anything to do with your lot? One is a guy who drinks in the gynsills and used to do a lot with Anstey and Glenfield cc, they do Perth all the time. I actually think Root has just touched that maybe watching again.
The People's Hero Posted 14 December 2013 Posted 14 December 2013 Just to add to what has been said earlier 90mph is very quick, even on a good pitch it will be hard to play, particularly early in an innings.
Voll Blau Posted 14 December 2013 Posted 14 December 2013 One is a guy who drinks in the gynsills and used to do a lot with Anstey and Glenfield cc, they do Perth all the time. I actually think Root has just touched that maybe watching again. Bunch of characters they are.
Guest MattP Posted 14 December 2013 Posted 14 December 2013 Bunch of characters they are. A few stories about Lewis! Still a decent start this, get out tonight with two down and w are in a nice position. We need to keep then out in this heat, actually make then do some work and think about it.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 14 December 2013 Posted 14 December 2013 Seen at least a couple of different Leicester City/Leicestershire flags in the crowd Marsh. Either of them anything to do with your lot? My mate from loughborough is on his way there at the mo. He'll have his flag up in the 4th test.
Matt Posted 14 December 2013 Posted 14 December 2013 Whilst i'm looking for them to be economical with the runs and i'd rather had them still batting than get out Pietersen needs to get abit more involved.
Guest MattP Posted 14 December 2013 Posted 14 December 2013 Let Pietersen take as long a he wants, if he stays there for a while he'll make a big score and more than make up for it.
Ross-Kemp Posted 14 December 2013 Posted 14 December 2013 Let Pietersen take as long a he wants, if he stays there for a while he'll make a big score and more than make up for it.The worry I have with him is I can imagine him becoming very bored and start trying to be the hero.Although he is playing Johnson's short balls very well.
Matt Posted 14 December 2013 Posted 14 December 2013 Ohhhh dear. Cook and KP gone, pressure on Bell. Still in our favour at the moment but the scales are beginning to tip Australia's way again I feel.
Guest MattP Posted 14 December 2013 Posted 14 December 2013 Exactly what he's done. Saw if the big stuff then got out to a average half tracker. Infuriating.
surrifox Posted 14 December 2013 Posted 14 December 2013 if we keep giving wickets away to net bowlers like siddle and lyon what hope is there?
surrifox Posted 14 December 2013 Posted 14 December 2013 Ohhhh dear. Cook and KP gone, pressure on Bell. Still in our favour at the moment but the scales are beginning to tip Australia's way again I feel. i'm not sure I agree with that analysis!
Super_horns Posted 14 December 2013 Posted 14 December 2013 We seem so keen to throw our wicket away - just cannot concentrate and a build an innings it seems.
