26 @ Just For Kicks:
It sounded like there was really good bowling from Anderson and Finn late in the day. I must try and see it but the reports are that the ball that got Clarke was brilliant and would have got most batsmen out.
@ grootblousmile: No problem, good luck with the funeral. Chat after that.
@ Bullscot:Having read a few reports, it seems that most of the wickets were due to inept batting – highlighting Mat Priors wicket for example. Apart from Siddle, the bowling by Aus was decidedly normal. Englands bowling was much better and tighter by comparison. Here’s hoping the bowlers continue doing their stuff, and do it for the team.
Still not impressed with Pieterson, he needs to do a lot more to earn my respect, and wandering back into the team as this ‘god-like’ figure means that he must hit the ground running, which he has not yet. Again, here’s hoping he finds some serious form. Anything less tha at least a ton in each match will be construed as a failure in my book.
I will try to update a bit today, I am at home for most of it, and will be able to keep one eye on it.
33 @ Just For Kicks:
Howzit (or should it be HOWZAT!!!)JFK, thanks for that will be nice to have the updates going where possible, am just about to head out with my wee ones for the day its nice and sunny here today so we going to have lots of fun! On form Pieterson is a devastating player and can win matches as he showed I think back in 2005, that was a big turning point in English cricket to win the ashes back then, well at least it was blown up to be showing very significant, and you know how easily people can be built up and hero worshipped… not sure how much county cricket he played ahead of this test and if he did how he fared. Sure he has set very high standards with his past performances but think it may be a bit of a tough ask to expect a ton in all 5 tests from him but I get the drift of what you’re saying in that he must perform to justify the preferential treatment he seems to get come selection for internationals.
Looks like a lovely sunny day ahead in Nottingham so could turn out to become a toil for the bowlers, lucky for England they already have taken 4 wickets and the ball is not too old yet, plus there has been cloud around early on so there may be something in it for the bowlers early on that they will need to exploit. Don’t think many wickets will fall in the sessions after lunch, certainly not as many as yesterday.
Trott agree’s, batsmen got themselves out.
Sally Broad may have fitness issues after a blow to the dreaded shoulder, yesterday. He needs to man up and not be a big girls blouse, and do it for the team!
Well, Englands bowling has started much like their batting finished. All over the place. The Aussies are lapping this up – raced on to 93/4 after just a few overs.
Steve Smith gets to 50 with some very tame bowling (taken just 72 balls – that tells a story in itself!!!). Aus 107/4
Turn my back, and 2 wickets go. Swann just taken Haddin for 1. Aus 113/6.
Smith went for 53 caught off Anderson by Prior
…..and Siddle goes quickly. Anderson again, and a great catch by Prior behind. Anderson is happy, he’s got that reverse swing going, and it’s working!!!! England definitely on top now. Thats the third wicket in the first hour. They should be at the crease well before tea again.
Aus 114/7
Swann drops the easiest of catches at slip. Starc survives
Anderson gets his fifer. Starc goes for a duck, caught behind by Prior. Wow. excellent bowling, but I can’t help but feel these Aussies are well below par. England have them on the ropes, good and certain now! Hughes must be wondering just what the hell is going on at the other end right now.
Another 3 day test? Sounds like SA all over again 🙂
Pattinson gone as Swann gets him LBW for 2. Aus 117/9
@ Stormersboy: Certainly looks like it, however, I expect the English Batsmen to fare a bit better, and bat out at least a couple of days – here’s hoping!
A review for a stumping for Agar, but looks ok
Agar making it look very easy at the moment, an inspired selection! He’s taking it to the bowlers, who really are serving up some real lollipops at the moment. He’s raced to 43 off 39 balls. Aus 178/9
Agar races to his fifty of just 50 balls. First No11 in the Ashes history to do so. And on Debut too. Great effort. Well done. With Hughes, they are keeping their team in the running here, and doing a great job, only 23 behind . Aus 192/9
Australia 207/9 Agar 59 and Hughes 51 still there, Aus trail by 8
…..and Australia take the lead just before lunch. A final wicket stand of 106. Aus 223/9. Lead by 8.
Credit to the batsmen, but some pathetic bowling from the Poms
@ Bullscot:Hi Bully. Sorry, in my eagerness to get the scoresheets up, with my poor cutting and pasting, killed your original post!
Lunch. Aus 229/9 14 runs ahead.
Excellent morning for the Aussies in the end. England come out this morning with some pretty ordinary stuff, but once they got into their groove, took 5 quick wickets for 9 runs, but then in walked Agar. England thought it was all far too easy, and tried to smash him out. Agar, clearly NOT a no.11 was equal to it, and had a party. It took England the final over before lunch to remember that age old Sage’s wise saying – Line and Length. Hopeless by England. Cook and a couple of the bowlers need to be taken to task over lunch.
But well done Aus for getting back into the match. If they can get another 70-80 on the board for that last wicket, they will be right back in the game, and could go on to win it
53 @ Just For Kicks:
Before play started thought this would be a day for the bowlers, that maybe wickets would fall in the first session then it would become a slog for the bowlers, never thought though that the batsmen would score at such a quick rate! Seems like Agar was an inspired choice even if his contribution at the moment is not in area he was picked for ie. his spin bowling, these are very valuable runs. Must dash we are filling up the little blow up paddling pool as its so lekker outside today 
Hi JFK its ok you can atone for it soon
What a shame, Agar holes out on 98. Eish. Aus all out 280. Lead by 65. Is that enough? Pitch has flattened out alot in this sun from yesterday.
We will see when England come out to bat. Englands bowling after lunch was generally alot tighter, the talk worked, but now they have small hill to climb to get back into the driving seat, and at least should see us into at least Day 4!!!!
Just a quick mention of Phil Hughes, who has crept along under the radar to deliver a great not out performance. England seemed to completely forget about him to focus on the new boy, and that left him able to go about his business largely unnoticed. Just one more sign of poor captaincy in my book. He knocked off 81 off 131 balls. Good stuff.
Root unrooted, and gone for 5. England have paid for their tortoise-like pace having scored only 11 off 7+ overs. Eng 11/1
Trott LBW appeal first ball. TMO
Looks out to me
