Warner's still on a pair - the time-wasting c*nt.

[Bruce Rioja]

Thought that one or two of you might be interested in this, by the way. It's a record of when all the innings in test history 'Extras' has been the leading run-scorer. As such, The Aussie's first innings yesterday was the first time in Ashes history.

Plenty of time for something like this...

it's all slipping away from us now - they've got more than thirty - for NONE!

Cook's dropped one - might as well give em the urn.

[thebish]

and now we're dropping catches... dooooooooooooooooooooooomed!

[Bruce Rioja]

I'm going to utilise the Lenny philosophy here. We've lost England's all-time highest ever international wicket-taker, but we have some pasty kid from Oldham's Estate with a sticking plaster over his left lense to fill the void!

[Bruce Rioja]

It says here that Warner's hit a six. Who was that off?

[TANGODANCER]

This is where having Jimmy in would have been a major plus. Let's have just one or two straight down the middle lads. Despite great catches, run-outs or stumpings, there is nothing more satisfying than scattering the stumps and bails in all directions.

Moeen

EDIT: ignore that, misread the commentary. Finn.

[jaffka]

just couldn't hold onto that one.

[KeyserSoze]

decent chance or a hard one, jaffka?

[jaffka]

He had hold of it whilst diving an let it squeeze out. It was in the slips from an edge

[TANGODANCER]

Just a case of patience and keeping at em. There was never a chance of a second capitulation like the first innings. We've done the damage and now we just need to be professional.

[TANGODANCER]

Now's the time to strike whilst minds are on a hundred target......Come on....

[BWFC_Insane]

Out but a no ball...

Everything going very wrong for England here.

[jaffka]

We then appeal for one that was 2 foot wide of the bat. Thankfully we didn't review it.
