Rodgers has really been their glue. Smith won't like being in so early. Big big wicket!

[s(k)aturation]

I'd be most happy if Warner were there at stumps.

He'd be 100+ and we'd be setting a target.

[King Emlyn]

That would make me laugh.

 

I'd feel sorry for all those fans with tickets for days three and four however.

Wouldn't mind but to claim your refund you have to send your tickets through the mail and they send you a cheque within 30 days. Given that it was all done online and they have my details why don't they just return the money to the account . Everything has to be a bleeding hassle .

That's garbage that mate, I had tickets to see Foo Fighters in Edinburgh recently and it got cancelled when Grohl broke his leg, the money was automatically refunded about a week after the gig should have taken place.

 

Should get Moeen on soon, Warner is bound to do something stupid.

[Son of L8]

Get the fuck in Finn. F'inn. Finn.

[Spy Bee]

Much needed. Smith does not like Finn. We could really do with getting Warner out too as he scores too fast for my liking!

[King Emlyn]

Finn on a hat trick

[Trumo]

Clarke out for 3. The Aussies now -69/3.

 

EDIT: And Voges too for 0.

[Jairzinho]

Knock that from Voges.

[Spy Bee]

Think it's fair to say Finn has been a nice addition!

[Son of L8]

I said before the match this could be a big couple of days for Finns Test career. Not doing to badly with the chance...

[lifetime fan]

Fucks sake.

 

I knew going out wasn't a good idea.

[Son of L8]

Fucks sake.

I knew going out wasn't a good idea.

Yes it was! Now fuck off back out again, we need to shift Warner.

[Guest Super Sub]

Fucks sake.

 

I knew going out wasn't a good idea.

My fucking Sky has gone on the blink

[lifetime fan]

Yes it was! Now fuck off back out again, we need to shift Warner.

I am still out.

 

Blame champ.

[lifetime fan]

Or send Rico on a fucking run.

[King Emlyn]

Finn running wild

[Guest Super Sub]

Fuck me what has happened since lords? If this pattern continues the the Aussies will win the next test to level the series then England win final test to win series.

[Rico1304]

Could this bankrupt Edgbaston?

[Son of L8]

25 wickets so far in five and a bit sessions, including rain delays.

[lifetime fan]

And it's not even that bad a wicket.

[Guest Super Sub]

Fuck me what has happened since lords? If this pattern continues the the Aussies will win the next test to level the series then England win final test to win series.

This pattern is also showing that each teams victory is becoming more decisive so England will get a done over in the next test then the final test will be over by tea on day one.

[Son of L8]

How many times has Finn beat Neville's outside edge?? He's faced eighteen balls, I think about half of them have gone past his bat from Finn.

 

Beautiful, beautiful bowling.

[lifetime fan]

I'm convinced Cook was told to actually bowl Finn this test.

[lifetime fan]

On the Beeb feed...

 

 

I'm trying to remember the last time I saw an England bowler send down a better spell than this. Finn, tall as a giraffe, thin as a crisp, is charging in, whirring his arms and testing Peter Nevill at speeds in the high-80s. Seam movement away from the right-hander, who isn't quite good enough to get an edge. In the stands, some Aussies in yellow have an umbrella up and are doing a rain dance. They'll be tired if they have to do that for another three days.
