Futtocks Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 7 for 11 from Broad is obscene. Four maidens too, from his eight overs, and only one boundary scored off him.

Griff9of13 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Australia all out for 60. Broad with 8 for 15. And a full two overs under the previous minimum number of balls to bowl a team out in one test innings, 18.3 vs 22.3 "it is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it."

Just Browny Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Enjoyed that. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

gingerjon Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Such a performance that the Brisbane Courier Mail is actually using Stuart Broad's name. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

gingerjon Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (via TMS) England take the lead after 18.3 overs of their innings. They dismissed Australia in 18.3 overs.

Hornetto Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Rochdale Hornets scored 74 last weekend - that's more than the Australian cricket team's first innings score. Even the Aussie cricket team can't post a cricket score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glossop saint Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Wow, what a day! Fantastic bowling display, and then for Cook, Root and Bairstow to really drive it home in the afternoon and evening was more than could be asked for. I'm off to see the ODI at Old Trafford, I hope the Aussies put up more of a fight then otherwise we'll only see 37 overs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Apparently, the BBC iPlayer couldn't handle the demand yesterday morning. And, due to the Tube strike, a lot of Londoners got to enjoy that first session, who might not have done otherwise.
