3RD ASHES TEST EG V AU EDGBASTON 2009

[locky801]

ONIONS has a 'spring' in his step today

Thats bad

[Adelaide Hawk]

We really struggle against the swinging ball. (always have to be honest) Hope our bowlers are watching.

Johnson is probably watching but wondering why they're not concentrating on "reverse swing"

[Adelaide Hawk]

ONIONS has a 'spring' in his step today

And if he starts getting cut, it'll be enough to make us cry?

[spell_check]

Good shot, bent Bells fingers back!

[locky801]

North now gone

Like Mike Holding said who doesn't?

[stampy]

wheres the bloody rain when u want it, christ! just lost another one

[Pup]

Johnson gone no shot offered again.

Anderson on a hat trick.

[Mic]

Another one gone! Play a shot when the ball is heading towards the wickets you retards!!!

Must surely be one of the worst batting sessions in Oz cricket in many many years.

[locky801]

Johnson out first ball, Aust pathetic, have no idea

No sympathy at all from me.

If you don't offer a shot to a ball like that you deserve to be given out.

[Dutchy]

I hope Mitchell Johnson is watching. Mitch ... this is why it's important to bowl STRAIGHT!!!! ... especially to batsmen trying to play themselves in.

he bowls straight, Ive seen nothing but straight balls from him in 2 tests

The ball is curling all over the place, Clark would have revelled in these conditions

Absolutely, no benefit of the doubt if you dont play a shot...

Hilfenhaus should.

[Adelaide Hawk]

Yes Mal, the Aussies are leaving balls that are just too close to the stumps to leave. No excuses. Johnson's just off with the pixies.

[wycbloods]

This has become a shocker of a session for us. Lets hope Manou can score some runs and get some support from the tail. Although the conditions for bowling look very good, if we can make the most of them the way the England bowlers have.

You are honestly trying to tell me Johnson bowls STRAIGHT???? 4 balls 2 feet outside off stump and the other two down the leg side is hardly bowling straight.

What have you been watching?

Hang on you guys think he should be given out if the ball isn't hitting the stumps . Whether a shot is offered or not if it ain't hitting the stumps it isn't out.

How the hell did Rudi manage 100 Tests? He's a joke!
