But we didn't review, Australia did.

Again the umpire gave the catch out not lbw. It ot hit leg stump on the full and not just clipping the top it would have been out.

It's all nonsense, throw the stupid system in the bin and let's have the thrill and agony of the umpire's decision being final. It takes half of the celebration away, when you're sat waiting to see if the batsman will review or not.

Cook is more than negative - it begins in the selection process.

first time I agree with you UH. playing Bresnan over Onions is one of the examples..

Really important session coming up after tea for both sides.

Onions will not play for England ever again. If he couldn't get a game in this one, then there is no hope for him.

2nd session on the balance. The margin for error in this match is minimal. so a lead of 20 runs could be the difference.
Would be suprised if this game goes to day 5.

If Bresnan goes the entire test and not take more than 3/4 wickets.. That should be it for him for a long while. You need to do your job on a wicket like this..

Bresnan should start a job for SilkCut or Benson and Hedges.and advertise them.. Would be a more suited job.

Would be surprised if this goes to the fourth day. Can't see England getting more than 120 in their second innings.

Uh how many of your predictions come true so far?? any?

So far 2 balls.. Bresnan bowls on both players pads.. Bresnan bowls wide of the stumps to the right hander and his angle is down the leg side..

Rodgers has been one luck clunt today Broad was unlucky not to have him a few times

Aussie will be looking for a lead of around 40 plus. Then they will only have to chase 80 or so and have a couple of days off.

Bresnan short balls you will be punnished

can we change Bresnan for Onions? they use to have subs in Odi cricket. Bring Onions on and take Bresnan around the back and put him out of his misery.

Sorry but Cook negative captaincy has forvme been why England are in this slump i mean this morning bowlers we crying out for short leg but Cook kept saying no

also i will be amazed if we lose this that 2-3 changes are made shame he cant be one of those changes

well played watson now watch england thats how you bat great partnership here england need a wicket and fast but Broad was the only one look like getting one

whos the guy s you would drop for the final test and who would you bring in

Bresnan out
Bairstow out

Compton in
Tremlett

You cant really blame the bowlers.. 238 in first innings just aint good enough.

englandwhoelse

I dont blame the bowlers agree are batting in the first innings of nothing short of shocking but Cook fielding and Captaincy needs to be questioned

Jungle_Bhoy.. well cook shouldn't be captain. I still haven't worked out why he was so negative against Nz in the Leeds test. nearly cost England a win

Cook has great players arround him and know he won in india but in the ashes the first test could have gone either way and Lords we domintated that but this test and the last test the aussies have dominated and Cook hasnt got a clue his negative bating and fielding is pathetic and yet we dont change anything

Cook is a lucky man he won the first 2 test as apart from the first and lords we have been second best to the aussies
