I have watched the last 3 days of so called test cricket with increasing bewilderment....... no I have not followed it for a while but I thought that I fancy watching any sport in which we stand a chance of thrashing the Ozzies.

Test Match cricket oh dear what have you done to yourself ???......... the quality of batting is shocking and I think a true indicator of the influence of 20/20 cricket. But am truly shocked after having just watched Broad not walk having being obviously caught behind.

They have umpires.

Nice to see a meaningful contribution from Ian Bell when England are under pressure.

Another 50 runs and I'd expect England to have this game wrapped up.

Its difficult to say if Clarke gets on a roll.

I can't believe how Holding is trying to justify and condone the Ramden cheating incident by equating it with the Broad non-dismial. I knew he was partisan but he's lost a lot of my respect.

I think England had a dodgy dismissal in the first innings. This just levels out.

Non walking is fine as long as you don't moan when decisions go against you.

but everyone moans............. it is genetic in Australians


agree in so much that non walkers are always found out by good umpires............ unfortunately, like good sportsmen there are none of those around either

Generally it all evens out in the wash. Broad will get similar decisions against him while bowling. In the past he has shrugged his shoulders and got on with it. No football style rants during, or after the match.

It is only sport but I personally equate it with the various Suarez deliberate handballs that he has put into the net throughout the world Broad and Suarez are in the same barrow............ love to see both of them in action at golf....

Not looking too promising at the moment.
