![]() End of Day 3 now and it’s all to play for. Kiwis lead by 338 and looks like they will set England a record Headingley score, or close to it, for England to chase. Another day of ebb and flow. Good to see Broad make a comeback with the bat. The England tailend played shots and outperformed the middle order. England ended up matching NZ's score of 350, thing was it took the Kiwis 72 overs and England 108 overs. Speaks volumes about each Captains approach to the game.
Kiwis favourites now but there could be a few more twists and turns before this one is decided. |

![]() Broad to Henry, SIX, short again, pulled again, six again...Henry dispatches another one deep square leg
90.5 Broad to Henry, no run, fuller and pushed across from round the wicket, a big swing and a miss 90.4 Broad to Henry, SIX, short and hammered! Had his sighter and not dispatches this one over the deep square-leg boundary...Carnage! 90.3 Broad to Henry, no run, falls into space! Sums it up for England. Henry pulls a short delivery and it goes straight up in the air, but there's no one close enough on the leg side and Broad can't get to it either shadowmancer: "One day Southee will get his Century and that day will be glorious" 90.2 Broad to Craig, 1 run, short and pulled to deep square leg 90.1 Broad to Craig, SIX, that's stunning, was a back-of-a-length delivery and Craig has driven it straight down the ground for six ![]()

![]() England been robbed of a Test match win by rain. I have done my money.
No Hilton for Miss Lek this week now ![]() Can't see them going for a win as England play way too defensive like South Africa do. If the boot was on the other foot, McCallum would have a go as would Michael Clarke. Somewhere, some time soon a team will score 400+ on the final day to win a Test match. Smaller grounds with ropes in, batting friendly pitches etc etc Think it cant be done? Well this mob scored 721 runs in a day!! Essex vs Australia Makes you wonder how they managed to bowl 129 overs (8 balls an over) in a day though? ![]()

![]() Well the Poms got beat again. Not very consistent. WLWL last four Test matches.
I like Jonathan Agnew's comment on Test Match Special when he was chatting to several newspaper journalists at the lunch break on the final day at Headingley with England 5 down and expected to lose. Quote:
Sadly, I can't pick up any live BBC cricket coverage here in Pattaya. I really enjoy listening to it especially when they are both bagging and praising the Aussies. I have to wait till the day is over and download the various podcasts. The BBC say due to a rights issue it cannot be accessed unless you are in the UK. Hopefully I will pick up the ABC Australia radio live broadcast when the Ashes start next month. I don't particularly like watching Test cricket in bars here in Pattaya. Yes I love the banter with the likes of Captain Jack but I prefer to watch it at home where I can do other stuff around the house at the same time. I did manage to pick up the live tv broadcast from Sky Sports 2 on my phone yesterday through an app called Mobdro and screen mirrored it onto my tv but it only lasted about 10 minutes before it died and I could not connect again. ![]() ![]() Any one have any ideas? ![]()

![]() Australia's turn to face the music tonight in a Test match
Horrible away record recently and other than beating South Africa 15 months ago, they have not won an away series since 2012 when they beat the West Indies. Since then they have lost the Ashes in England and been white washed by India and Pakistan. ![]() According to the ABC Australia, this is the likely team for the First Test David Warner, Shaun Marsh, Steve Smith, Michael Clarke (capt), Adam Voges, Shane Watson, Brad Haddin, Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood. Lots of unanswered questions there. Many players coming from the 20/20 Indian Premier League straight back into Test Cricket. About time Watson done something. WTF is Sean Marsh doing there?? Not just as an opener (Rogers is injured) but in the squad itself? Steve Smith moved to the #3 position in the batting?? Which Mitchell Johnson will turn up?? He was dropped by his IPL side for not performing recently. Can Mitchell Starc do it with the red ball?? Adam Voges on debut as a 35yo?? Shades of Bobby Holland. Is Haddin past it? It ain't going to be a walk in the park like so many pundits think. The best bits however is that we are saving our new leggie for the Poms. Any chance of bringing Mike Gatting back?? ![]()
