AC Voges - Below par

SR Watson - Move on

BJ Haddin - Would like to move on

MG Johnson - Luckless more than handy with the bat

What a fantastic experience we had on Day 3. Saw the Aussies all out then England set them over 400 to chase.

Sat next to a couple of Aussies who said that Watson had to be dropped. And a big question over Starc's fitness.
But to be fair they didn't look like they would claw things back.

I did love my first Ashes experience. The England lads were great with the crowd before and after the game - doing loads of autographs and chatting with the crowd. Shame on most of the Aussies who ignored both sets of fans wanting autographs etc - with the exception of Mitchell Johnson who was the only one I saw to do autographs, and then Nathan Lyon who saw I was taking a picture of him while he waited to be interviews and posed for me!!!!

We saw Swanny perform on stage - he isn't a bad singer you know! And Glamorgan is a great place to watch cricket.

The sun shone - the atmosphere was great - and it was a lovely way to spend a day.

1-0 to England - now to the home of cricket and see how the Aus

Sounds like you had a ball.

Hopefully next game we bring our A game and get back to 1-1

Hey maybe the selectors heard me.

Watson Haddin Out.

Marsh and new keeper in. (I thought they could've given Vogues the gloves

Yeah seen that Yubbs, Haddin has family problems and Leg Before Watson has been dropped. Seems they are fedup of his continual use of the D.R.S. (Dont Review Shane).
I was shocked at the UN-Australian approach in the 1st Test, no mongrel attitude. Long may it continue, however I fear the wounded convict's revenge.
Love to be 2 up tho when I roll up at Edgbaston at the end of the month .

Quote of the day. "Does anyone else like to hear Shane Warne talk? Or is it just him?" ODrunkenbushman.

Bushy's lookalike is commentating this match as well. He is actually ringing the bell today at Lords.

The only time I like Warnie speaking is when he is reminiscing with former team mates.

Day 1 Second test.

3 things I'll mention

1- very placid pitch
2- very average bowling (very unJimmylike bowling)
3- What were you thinking David????

Well done Steve
