[Nemo]

Aww, his mum's welling up in the crowd.

 

[marty21]

Trott seems more relaxed now

Does anyone else always clap at home? We do

 

[Balbi]

I'm regularly screaming at the ball to speed up when an aussie's chasing it down

 

[TrippyLondoner]

i do

 

[London_Calling]

Stands to applaud! Aussie commentators getting plenty of digs in about hs birth-place Reduced to that

Tbf, it's more than his "birth place". He's been 'English' for 2 years, he's 27-28.

 

[fen_boy]

Norwich are winning 5-2 now btw.

 

[Nemo]

350 up with a fine shot for four from Jimmeh.

 

[Balbi]

Four from Jimmeh

 

[TrippyLondoner]

I do
No audience mind

 

[TrippyLondoner]

go on jimmeh, get 50 as payback for the 0 previously!

 

[Balbi]

And again. LOL.

 

[Nemo]

Clark getting smacked around by number 11 (as promoted to number 10).

 

[marty21]

good stuff jimmeh!

 

[Balbi]

Johnson'll suddenly remember he's a bowler now, just you watch

 

[Nemo]

Mitch now in with a third man (presumably to stop it if he bowls too short).

 

[fen_boy]

Last 10 overs at 8 an over.

 

[tarannau]

Time to declare now? Be nice to get a few larrikin wickets before the end of the day.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Is it fair to say we are DEMOLISHING austrailia right now?

 

[marty21]

Is it fair to say we are DEMOLISHING austrailia right now?

very fair to say

 

[baldrick]

they've got to be pretty crushed at the moment. never say never though

 

[Balbi]

Bollocks, let them bowl us out - batter up the pitch good and proper and then release Swann on the aussie goons.

But... but... they're Australia. They'll easily knock off 530 in the last innings of a test.

is it 6.30 close, I reckon declare at about 5.10, get an hour or so at the Aussies, with the crowd all pumped up!

not with those evil umpires around!!

 

[Nemo]

Trott's shown more grit in this match than Bell ever has.

 

[fen_boy]

Trott's current test match average is 150 - he's the new Bradman.

 

[JimW]

Onions named "official" 'Beard of the Ashes" apparently
