Freddie's on fire

Turning on standard England sports fan mode, Johnson does have a Test century. I reckon if we get one of these soonish that really will be it though.

Could still go either way this one. Only need 166 with 4 wickets remaining and a batsman with great confidence…

EDIT: beat me to the thread CFH! 🙂

BBC quicker than CricInfo on that one – right I am defecting…

Do you think I jinxed him? LOL!

that could well be that… 'tis a very very big ask for tailenders now 😆

Great innings from Clarke, hard to believe he got out to that ball after playing spin so well for so long!

To state the obvious, we really needed Clarke & Haddin to add around a hundred before lunch, unfortunately it couldn't be done 🙁

Aye, but you got the good pic in there, Stoner! 🙂

Thank god for that was starting to get nervous, again

Morning Psychle 😉

That has to be it now surely 😀

kappoowwwww!

for fiver for flinty by the end do we reckon?

B. INGO

I do hope Flintoff takes a five-for… he deserves to have his name up on the honour board (by far my favourite Pom player 😀 )

Fullish, jagging back sharply off the seam and Hauritz lets it go, and it goes crashing into off stump

nearly there now, need to keep this intensity going 🙂 🙂 🙂

have a hit MJ… may as well 😀

There's a fat lady stood outside Lord's and she is clearing her throat…

that's Mike Gatting in the queue for chips

she may have to hang around for a little bit yet… though I don't honestly doubt she'll be belting out an aria before the day is out 😆

Well he does already as a batsman, but would be a very fitting way to go out to get there as a bowler too.

Will Australia even beat their own 4th innings record (404)?

LMFAO!!!!!!!

I'm delaying my lunch for the victory and a good chat with Alan in the sarnie shop about our dominance in this game! Bit of an issue though as I'm starving…. can we get these last wickets in the next 15 mins???

COME ON FREDDIE!!!!

5!
🙂

YES!!!!! come on! one more!!!!!

Blooming cricinfo – getting the news quicker on here!

yeahhh

Flintoff: bowled 26.0, 4 maidens, 82 for 5

on the brink now, flippin brilliant peformance with the ball this morning.

She's doing her scales…

'LAH! LAH! LAH!'

Well they only need another 10 runs now (based on cricinfo, which is doubtless out of date).

I should point out that's another 10 runs (2 now) to set a new Austalian 4th innings record. Would be quite nice for their record to be part of a loss 😀

Where is psychle anyway?

ta daaaa!

🙂

well, we set a new 4th innings record for us… congrat's to England and esp. Flintoff, he's the difference at the moment I think.

On to Edgbaston 😀

*Looks around for an Australian to talk cricket with….!*

BOOM

barry humphries, jason donovan, priscilla queen of the desert, your boys took a hell of a beating!

75yrs is a long time between drinks, 'bout time really 😉

How unlucky is James Anderson? Not one bloody wicket!
