What do we do for our pace attack against the Aussies?

Hope Tremlett is fit?

[captainfog]

Despite my misgivings with Broad I'm not worried about our bowling. The key will be how our batsman stand up to their pace attack.

[RichC]

I'd be tempted with Tremlett, whatever happens to Onions?

foggy is right though the batsmen need to turn up in the Ashes as they've been patchy as best

[Shaggy]

Onions is a better bowler than Broad. Tremlett is coming back to fitness too and he gives us a lot more pace, bounce and aggression.

Agree with Foggy on Broad. His remonstrating with fielders after serving up another ****e ball pisses me off immensely.

Montys fielding

Some bog average balls being bowled here

[Chazza]

So get to 450 ahead and declare leaving us to bat for about 140 overs to save the game?

Fully expect us to be 3 or 4 down when I get up.

[RichC]

Higher ever run chase is 418, we've been battered this morning. Dreadful effort from them

[Chazza]

What a shot that was to bring up his ton.

[RichC]

Fulton making a century with a 6 and with them 433 in the lead

Dear ****ing me

[RichC]

Fulton gone for 110

[Shaggy]

Fulton an all. He is ****e. 34 year old journeyman whose Test average was 20 before this series. Last two summers he's played for ****ing Cleethorpes in the Yorkshire league.

Cleethorpes

From 8/3 to 199/5

As a 21 year old he had it all and he could have gone on to be a truly great bowling all rounder, however, he has not fulfilled his potential. I guess he still has time on his side, but it's running out.
