Heh I dont think the commentary in Oz is as biased as the Poms… The poms seem well critical if the bowlers get smashed to the boundary and dont applaud the shots… MC played some great shots off Anderson when in all fairness they were not that bad a delivery.. he just whipped them through square and read ( or guessed ) the swing.. Waughishly

I’ve always backed Johnson… seems a lot of people wanted his scalp and doubted his quality.. to those people, smartn up!!

Good work for Broad

Admin : please expalin the music… Im guessing you fell in love with that girl in the crowd and devoted a song to her… or is more complicated

It’s a little less complicated – saw her, song ran in my head, so dug it out and put it. That’s all. If anything, it’s dedicated to the guy next to her – Admin

Love having the access to the highlights…
The bias in commentary and coverage is reflective of the culture – we do it in Oz also!
Shane Warne shouldn’t be tossing as a commentator, but the ‘bias’ usually tries to focus on a strong personality displaying an non-graceful cultural flaw.

Good on yas

Well…
English were lucky to have the draw in the 1st test… in fact Australia were destroying them and they are doing it again. 2-1 it should be now… 2-1 it shall be in the end.
England are….. well… like little groomed boys getting their hides whooped by a nation that plays the game for the love of the game.
WHAMMY.

I thought Pakistan was the only team that collapsed like that. England are going down. Amazing a test decided in 2.5 days. Thanks a lot for the highlights. Great website

Thanks mate for the clips. In the second video clip, does anyone know what was the issue that caused umpire Rauf to point fingers at Broad (At the 1:30 mark)?? Anyone see that incident and want to comment?

Yeah true Fletch… Props to North and his form/stepping up in recent matches, but havent seen the remainder of the highlights yet to make an opinion at the time of post… Im not that biased as to who wins the test series, its just great watching skilled players like MC and Hussey.. I think they are classic stroke makers.

too right Ndrobert… and they’d better get used to no freddie. hope he plays the last test, though i can’t see aussies bringing back binger given the way stewie’s bowled on his comeback!!

What the heck is wrong with English batsmen? Hats off to Australia. The game is sure to end tomorrow, just the third day (and most likely before lunch!!). The grand finale on the final test…hopefully it will be a more even match then. Bring Flintoff, bring Lee — bring it all — show the best test match of the series!!!
