Embarrassing isn't it? They're either totally wrong or putting the responsibility on the players to make the decision. Disgrace.

Same old faces, I would say drop em' for the next few tests but reckon these lads have cornered the market!

What an absolutely brilliant 2 days, Edgbaston you most certainly delivered

Brilliant from Burns today and England

Even Boycott was happy with our batting today!

There's always that voice in your head that says "Maybe tomorrow they will get skittled out in the first half hour!"
Excellent day today though, fingers crossed they can build a decent lead.

Don't really want to be back out on day 5 of that pitch.

Wobble, wobble, wobble. Game on! Anderson out makes things very interesting.

Didn't look comfortable at all, doubt he'll bowl again this test. Should be fine to bat though.

Constant questioning of the ball by the cheats

Good to see the crowd giving them brick like they got yesterday

 

[markysimmo]

Warner out early, yet another fudge up by the umpires which DRS sorted

 

[Spur of the moment]

Might just as well go straight to third ump.

 

[markysimmo]

So much for the Aussies new attitude, Warner 100% knew he nicked that but didnt walk

I suspect Broad has changed. Cheating is in the Aussie DNA. When you're decended from criminals......

British criminals, indeed. The worst kind. Broad could just as easily be one of them.

Nah, we filtered our blood lines of all that when we built Australia.

We did build it didn't we?

If build is now short for genocidal invasion, then sure. Spot on.

That'll do. Another thing we're world leaders at.

Nearly as good as the Aussies are at racism and brick beer.
