[Dan Vito Corleone]

I really, really hope you're right mate. Because even when he isn't bowling well, he causes worry because he's Jimmy Anderson. We really don't want to be without him.

[lifetime fan]

It could easily cost us the ashes.

Dale Steyn takes his 400th test wicket.

Bumble mentioning a guy called Jack Brooks as a possible replacement for Anderson, should he not play next game. Good shout? Side strains generally don't come up in a week.

 

It's the same venue where McGrath stood on the ball too.

Swing bowler for Yorkshire.

 

Very good county championship bowler but unsure if he's good enough for Test cricket.

 

If Jimmy is out, then Wood will replace him

To borrow (nick) JohnnyHs line. 'We'll be grand'.

[old skool tom]

Amazed how averagely the batsmen on both sides are performing.

Great bowling attacks? Too many players out of form? 90% Batsmen playing simply average?

 

Thank god there's no flintoff,swan,warne,GM in this series cos it'd be a 1day Ashes series

Swap bowler for batsman and it sounds a bit like Adam Lyth.

[Dougie Do'ins]

Excluding weather, anyone got a stat of how many tests of say the last four ashes series have gone the full five days ?

[Dan Vito Corleone]

I don't have stats Mick but I do have a question - are you going to Aigburth for the match on Tuesday?

No mate. No possible way I can make it.

Steven Finn just text me to say thank you for the 'coaching session' I gave him.

 

[Jose Jones]

I think I'll bring myself on from both ends.

It seems your pessimism was a little closer to reality than mine this time Skaro.

Starc and Neville to put on a 150 lead?

[A_S]

Steve Finn looking like the bowler he's threatened to be in the past. The cunt has all the tools to be world class. 

[Karma Pollis]

Yep. The lad has rarely played back to back games in his career and he looked like he lost a bit of zip at Lords. This wicket may suit Finn but I'm not convinced he will go well.

Jimmy ruled out for the 4th Test match.

You're dying to tell us

[Jairzinho]

Why were you sitting down for the photo, mate?

[mouse1989]

Also, I'm surprised we've informed everyone that Jimmy is out. It was obvious yesterday, so I wouldn't have said anything until the end of the Test match. Potentially give the Aussies a little psychological boost today whilst batting

They're 23 for 7.

[Ian Sea]

That master class with Warne, Healy and Ponting was superb. Could have watched them 3 all morning.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Nevill edged through the slips already. He's starting to piss me off. The Aussies have had so much luck in this test.

Finn was stood on a step above me.

I don't know who was more pissed, me in the photo or Joe trying to take the photo.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Finn looks too nice a guy, needs a face tatt.

[lifetime fan]

Glove there?
