A fantastic test match. Marvellous batting from Broady & Bell, but I'm still nervous. This games swung from one side to another brilliantly. It is still nerve wracking ....265 will be a tough ask on a turning pitch ...If we can get over 300 say even 320 , I will definately feel more confident

Broad is a bit of a wicket waiting to happen, been playing a few risky shots even before Walk-gate. Maybe Swanny can give it a bash.

Broad can bat ...he just needs to apply himself a bit more , he's got the ability to be a more than useful bowling all rounder , a valuable innings from him today notwithstanding the "incident" ...Twenty or thirty from Swann would be marvelous

In 2010 during the Ashes test at the Adelaide a certain Micheal Clarke was caught out but refused to walk and stood his ground, later appologising on twitter. It was unsporting of Broad perhaps BUT it wasn't cheating.

Loads of batsman get a fine edge and don't walk. It's seems like it's the obvious thickness of the edge that's pissing some people off? Imagine you're Stuart Broad, you're batting 8 in an Ashes test and you've spent the last couple of hours desperately trying to survive and add to the total, run by run with Ian Bell at the other end. You edge the ball to first slip (via a deflection off the keeper's glove), the Aussies have no reviews left and the umpire didn't hear it. Tuck your bat under your arm and off you go young man. Yeah right! All these holier than thou, sanctimonious journalists should wind their necks in. I suggest Stuart Broad does the right thing and apologises on twitter like Michael Clark did after the Adelaide test?

It was unsporting of Broad perhaps BUT it wasn't cheating. Of course it is not cheating ......it is within the laws of the game , the batsman is entitled to wait for a decision by the umpire , whether it is unsporting or not is debatable , what I find amazing is the fact that the umpire could give him not out ! In a different era ( mine) it would not have been the done thing not too walk off , but times have changed and players attitudes have changed as well

Spirit of cricket is a load of rubbish otherwise how can any team appeal for a wicket but then not decide to review.
I hope Broad gets 150 which is probably more than the brittle aussie batting will make, for all the fuss about Agar's batting his bowling has shown he's not yet a test match bowler. Swann is a different proposition and will pick up plenty of wickets if Anderson hasn't already cleaned them up.

You know the same as I do Harry as an ex player that the walking issue always revolves around " nicks" and caught behind decisions ....there it is up to the batsman whether he walks or not or waits for the umpires decision ....when we are talking about a slip catch ( or any other catch in the outfield ) you don't as a batsman , wait to be given out by the umpire ....you know you are out and everybody else knows you are out ...you walk off ......do you wait to be given out when you have been clean bowled and your middle stump is knocked out ? Of course you don't ! There is no difference is there ? .....but I agree Broad should apologise ( not for cheating ) but for an error of judgement , then this can be put to bed , otherwise it could drag on right through the series

The spirit of cricket is not a load of rubbish , it is the advent of the ridiculous DRS system that has brought these issues to the fore if you take away the spirit of the game in any sport , not just cricket ....then sport in itself loses the very essence of itself , sadly this is happening in many sports

I'll start this by saying TMS is my favourite radio show, in fact it's my favourite show in any form of media. Aggers is a commentator and person who i have a lot of time for but in these instances he gets onto his high horse and just goes on and on and on. I had TMS on for 12 minutes this morning and he's banging on and on about this Broad incident using 'the spirit of the game' and won't let it lie.
I could write a bloody essay on all this but i'll just write something short and sweet here...
Two overs or so after this incident....
Pattinson bowls, huge inside edge by Bell (bigger edge than the one Broad got) Pattinson appeals not only once but TWICE and has to be warned by the onfield umpire for over appealing.
No one in the world can tell me that Pattinson didn't see that edge, it was huge, yet he's appealing for an LBW.
Is that in the spirit of the game? No, it's part of the game so belt up and get on with it. It's not just the modern way neither, that's nonsense, WG Grace (18 July 1848 – 23 October 1915) was an actual cheat in many peoples eyes.
What bugs me here is that after Agar made his 98 or whatever he got, there was so little talk about the fact he SHOULD have been given out and it was a howler by the third umpire. No one's talking about the fact Root didn't hit it and was given out and stupidly Cook said "you'd best walk mate" and didn't review it. Look what a good sportsman Root is, he walks even though he didn't hit it! Then there's Trotts dismissal which was ridiculous on many levels yet has seemingly occupied much less column inches, discussion and air time than this whole malarky.
It was a howler by the umpire and Australia used the review system incorrectly on a review which was daft and in fact the bowler in that instance, Pattinson, was walking off to fine leg to field, turned around to discover his wise captain had reviewed it!
Should Broad have walked? Not until the umpire tells him to.
Let's hope that this get's forgotten asap because it's doing my noodle in and Aggers who i really like is bugging the life out of me with it.

It's been mentioned by myself and others on here several times concerning the non stumping , a dreadful decision and so was the Trott lbw , Broad should have gone , but he didnt , thats the end of it n there is nothing to be gained by making a massive issue about it , he will apologise , of that I am certain , that should be the end of it Agnew is indeed banging the drum a little hard ......he should let the issue run its course and be done with it

No one in the world can tell me that Pattinson didn't see that edge, it was huge, yet he's appealing for an LBW. It's not clear that Pattinson would have seen the inside edge, Glen McGrath on TMS yesterday made the point that as a bowler you don't always see inside edges because you're finishing the bowling follow through, usually the umpire will indicate that the batsman hit it.

I'm in the garden pretending there's no match on. I've found this quite often produces something positive! Other times, I walk round the garden and catch the score through the window now again? I used to think I was going mad until I found out Stephen Fry does the same thing. Oh, hang on a min........!
