The Ashes: Australia in England 16th Jun - 31 July

[sussexpob]

Interesting, that last review. It looked a very obvious bat then pad on first viewing, then each replay using ultra edge made it look more and more pad first.

I think the right decision was made.

The final angle they showed made it clear to me it was bat first. I agree, the right decision.

England huffing and puffing, but cant blow the house down. Three failed reviews in this partnership

[GarlicJam]

only have lost the one review though.

Yes. Two Australian overturns, to be exact

[Arthur Crabtree]

Hundred partnership in about 23 overs.

[Arthur Crabtree]

But broken soon after by Robinson. Now for a pile on.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Anderson could do with getting in the action. One wicket in the series.

[sussexpob]

England have bowled terribly today. Too much spraying in the pads

[sussexpob]

Game already slipping away...

[sussexpob]

Root snags Head....

[Arthur Crabtree]

And Green. Part time spin.

[sussexpob]

And then Green ... Who needs Mo?

[Arthur Crabtree]

England part time spinners since 1977.

Root, 57 wickets at 45 average.
Hick 23/57
Pietersen 10/87
Samit 7/60
Willey 7/63
Jacks 6/39
Vaughan 6/93
Borthwick 4/20
Ramps 4/119
Denly 2/109
Malan 2/66

etc.

Stumps. Australia in a commanding position. 400+ possible and Smith on near 100...England going to have to play some serious cricket to get back into this

[Arthur Crabtree]

Couple of drops in the morning session. And the ball going past the bat too. So bowlers missed out.

Memories of Simon Jones with Tongue's dismissal of Wee Davie.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Can't really tell from highlights, but Robinson seemed to send down a high % of pies in among a few good balls.
