I happen to believe that Anderson's ball that removed Michael Clarke was one of the, say, ten best deliveries I have ever seen at any level in cricket. The term 'unplayable' doesn't do it justice. Anyone? :unsure:

Totally agree, tremendous ball.

Correct , swing , pace and even a turn at the end . There's not a batsman on the planet who would have picked that delivery .

Up there with the very best , the perfect ball !

I hope you're right. We need a strong first session, 3ish wickets for not many runs.

If we can go in a few runs up, knock 250-300 and leave the something close to or starting with a 3 to chase I think we'll be in with a shout.

200 will be enough lead ;)

Broad is fit to bowl. So I think you're right.

What about the Yorker from Siddle which dismissed Rooty (I think it was him) or do you only comment on England performances?

My laptop is now successfully hooked up to two screens. I site next to my boss but have a carefully positioned file holder to hide one of them.

I think I'll probably stream some of it today on that screen whilst bashing through linkedin on the other.

Definitely leaving on time today though.

whats the best website to stream it on? PM anyone?

Not at all - it just wasn't that good, and certainly not in the same realm as Anderson's. The latter was up there with 'that' Shane Warne ball to Mike Gatting in 1993.

Found one :)

Good start to the day anyway. Smith was a massive wicket.

113/6 now, still 102 lead, 4 left standing, hopefully we can get them all out and have a 50 lead. Swann and Anderson are bowling magnificently.
