England bowl down for 215 and now Australia trying their best to get out for less.
Wish Australia could beat them, but it looking highly unlikely based on form
-
Wow. Look how the mighty have fallen. Ozzies are now 114/7 .
-
118/9.
-
Last stand doing well..young boy Agar batting well..169-9
-
207/9. Good half century by the youngster Agar. Trail by 8 now.
I've never really cheered for the Ozzies before, but something about their present vulnerability makes them likable.....but then again, I'll support any team playing against England.

I was just saying the same thing to my father..Probably the only time I ever been supporting the Aussies..Would love it if Agar goes on to get his hundred
254-9 Agar on 86
-
AGGGGGGGGGH he bottled it! Just like tino
98 caught in the deep
280 all out
-
The 100 was there for the taking but Agar threw it away just like Tino Best. :frustrated: 98 on debut against this attack is excellent though. Well done to the kid :applause:
Ozzies in a good position at tea; England 11/2, trail by 54.
-
A surprising "cutarse"is coming England's way and how badly I want to see this.
-
England puttin up quite a fight now..Broad with he nasty self eh walk on huge edge..
-
Broad needs to be banned like Ramdin. But of course double standards from icc. Isn't that contrary to the spirit of the game?
-
D.H.W...dem fuc*ers iz ah set of Hippocrates..... ;D what good fuh d goose must be good for d gander too...Hit dem hard Michael in dey nenen...
Michael Holding, the former West Indian fast bowler, contended that Broad's behaviour was comparable to that of the West Indies wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin, who falsely claimed a catch against Pakistan in a Champions Trophy match at The Oval in London last month. Ramdin was banned for two one-day games by the ICC match referee, who happened to be Broad's father, Chris.
"What Stuart Broad did amounts to the same thing as Ramdin," Holding told Sky TV. "He knew he had hit the ball. The ICC fined Ramdin and suspended him for 'actions that were contrary to the spirit of the game'. What Stuart Broad did is contrary to the spirit of the game. He played the ball and stayed there."

Broad's actions were backed by his father Chris, who opened the batting for England between 1984 and 1989 and is now an ICC match referee.
He told BBC Sport: "It's an Ashes Test match. I remember when [former captain] Ian Botham said to me in my first Ashes Test match in Brisbane, 'if any of you blokes walk out in the middle you'll have me to answer to' so I didn't walk.
"Stuart didn't walk and I think most players want to see an umpire give a decision. The umpire gave a not out decision, you get on with the game."

Yeah i see on cricinfo they saying it not on the same level. Madness to me. Both are cheating in my book.
Aus 116-2 chasing 311

Michael J...if Chris Broad really made those comments then this is setting a very dangerous precedent.
If he wasn't a ICC match referee and defending his son, then I can understand. However, with the position he currently holds. I cannot see how he should be able to make a comment on this game and in his son's defense as well. This is surely A CONFLICT OF INTEREST and as far as I am concerned...he should be disciplined with a HEFTY FINE and a ban for a couple of matches as well...
As much as I hate Oz with a passion..this is bringing the game into disrepute ...what a sad day for cricket...

Chris Broad did indeed make those remarks and ,given his position ,it is obvious why his son feels he can make a mockery of the spirit of the game with absolute impunity.

Ozzies in some trouble now....164/6 needing another 147 for victory. Agar, the first innings hero is at the crease.....hope he can reproduce his first innings efforts.

29 to win 1 wicket in hand tension

I actually like the article that said that Stuart Broad did the right thing and that the problem was his father Chris in banning Ramdin. Ramdin didn't appeal for caught behind, he dropped the ball and left it up to the umpire to give it not out. While I do not agree with what he did, how is it so vastly different from a batsman knowing he edged the ball and waiting for the umpire to give it out? It is a clear double standard that favours batsmen.

That said, that was an exciting finish to the match.
-
Looks like the Ozzies are up against it once again in the second test. Needing a whopping 583 to win, they are 80/3 on day 4.
I smell a white-wash coming on....
-
Joe Root is class fullstop!
-
I can't believe the once-mighty Aussies went out like that.
I have to say they went out, b/c I still cyah give England no props - on principle.
Still, usually a decline is gradual.
-
as soon as i turned it on the collapse began...
The english fans loving themselves..then they will go on the subcontinent and probably be humbled again
