Geoff Kilpatrick Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Australia get below 100 with 4 wickets intact and this will be a great finish! England to win by 27 runs is my prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Sailor Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Agar and Haddin seem to be going for their shots this morning Maybe that's the right tactic for them - try to rattle these runs off Working so far 206-6 Haddin 28 Agar 14 105 req Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marooned In Oz Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Behind AFL and rugby league. It is now getting competition in the summer from football. Depends on where in the country you are, to suggest rugby league is bigger than cricket is wrong, IMO. In Western Australia and Victoria rugby league is behind football (soccer) and rugby union.

Harry Palmer Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 Think they can turn the lights off now ! Don't think they can once they've put them on, think that's what they said on the radio. Over by lunch (maybe) and an enjoyable way to start things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny ******* Powers Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Agreed mate. Test match cricket at its best. I think I predicted it would be over in 3 days when England were 11-2 in the second innings!! Hopefully the rest of the series is as good as this.

ToadKiller Dog Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Remember watching Anderson as a young player starting out , was all over the shop , his head movement was dreadful still isn't that great but you could see the talent .

Would have been one of the great catches IMO.Would be a shame if Engalnd lose and he gets the blame because Engalnd's bowling "attack" has been pitiful today. What a finale.
