Warner in the wars again ....an on field altercation with South African wicket keeper had to be broken up by the the umpires......he really is an idiot I was waiting for the punch line Bispham, but you're actually serious?

Just googled it. What a tool? Seems the keeper was very unhappy with the sledging he received from Warner on Friday and it's spilled over to the point where play had to be stopped twice? His captain had to pull him away - does the poisoned dwarf thinks he's a footballer?

Taylor's made 64* at the end of day two, good stuff. Hamilton-Brown also made 73 from 51 balls.

You would think he could summon enough common sense up from somewhere , to keep his mouth shut for a while wouldn't you ?

I have watched cricket since the early seventies but I think the technology has ruined the game. It was brought in to eliminate howlers and has done no such thing. Every decision is analysed to death yet Broad puts half of Epping Forest on the ball and isn't given out? Killed it for me, I'm afraid. If an Aussie had turned the game like that, it would still be on the back pages now.

Was watching some old footage on youtube yesterday. Merv Hughes abusing Atherton and Hick. Terry Alderman with Gooch in his pocket for years. Glen McGrath with 3 or 4 psychological wickets before he'd even bowled a ball. Not being able to get Steve Waugh out for years. Everyone shit scared of Shane Warne. Matthew Hayden swaggering about with his chest puffed out. I hope they continue to be utter shite indefinitely.

It always amazed me how Alderman used to keep getting Gooch caught at shortish mid wicket....it had to be psychological on Gooch's part , never saw him fall over to the off side when playing anybody else like he did to Alderman !

That's just it mate, they had us by the psychological balls for 20 years! Scott Styris was on the the radio saying how amazed he was that some English cricket supporters weren't enjoying the series because the Aussies are so bad it isn't a decent contest. He's firmly in the "continue to rub their noses in it for as Long as possible" camp - and so am I.

Well of course any true cricket lover wants to see the best possible cricket and it would be nice to see us hammering a better Australian side ....but I wouldn't say I wasn't enjoying it !.....if the Aussies put out a league standard side , I would still want us to rub their noses in it .....long may it continue

Nice to see Tremlett given a call up hopefully he'll be given a chance over Bresnan (I don't think he will do)

I thought Bresnan did pretty well in the last test? Kept it tight, couple of very useful wickets and 30 odd in the second innings?

Indeed he did Harry ....he did his job j I know what you mean Bispham, he hasn't got that wicket taking cutting edge but if the the other guys, (Anderson, Swann and Broad) are doing their stuff then he's got a very useful part to play? I haven't any idea what Tremlett has been up to county wise, but I'm not sure overall that he's got anymore to offer than Bresnan? Swann backed up by Root (especially with Root opening the batting) makes Monty a bit of a luxury? Excellent bowler, but pretty awful batsman (apart from Cadiff) and a liability in the field. If they want to "rest" Pietersen for the little chap then I'd be happy with that. Bairstow should also be looking over his shoulder?

I have to say Harry that I think Tremlett has far more to offer than Bresnan with the ball .....far more height and bounce , a lot more difficult to play than Bresnan in that respect , I don't think he is that much quicker ....but he is definately a wicket taker .....I agree I wouldn't be to unhappy if Pietersen didn't make it on Thursday .if Pietersen is fit and Bairstow fails , then Taylor will,be putting a little bit of pressure on him .....it would be wonderful to see three young players in England's batting order though wouldnt it ? ...perhaps asking a bit much yet ? But what promise for the future

Hi mate. I think Tremlett has more to off with the ball as well, that's what I meant by overall. I think that Bresnan averages 30 with the bat, if Tremlett got a 30 he'd be pretty chuffed? Also, if they are looking at Tremlett again, then why not just persevere with Finn?

Also, if they are looking at Tremlett again, then why not just persevere with Finn? Well I think that they are concerned that Finn bowls to many four balls .....If you remember they did the same thing in Australia last time we we out there , Finn was leading wicket taker in the series but they left him out for Tremlett , because they thought he was too expensive ....it proved to be a good decision though as Tremlett did the buisiness

Finn blows hot and cold a lot of the time where Tremelett doesn't as much.

Probably stopped him from been a regular which is a shame.

Probably stopped him from been a regular which is a shame. Yes ....there have been bowlers like that who always seem to be injured , Simon Jones for one ,also his dad Jeff who was a good left arm quick , Alan Ward of Derbyshire who was genuinely quick and others

I really liked Simon Jones. Genuine wicket taker with great pace and a good old fashioned nasty streak! I think because of his run up and style of delivery (which wasn't very fluid) the lad really bent his back at the point of delivery to generate the pace that he did - and it took it's toll. (A bit like Sean Tait who was seriously quick). Anyone who had the balls to rough up Hayden and Langer is a dude in my book?
