[N.O.R.F]

SECOND TEST - MATCH SUMMARY (Edgbaston, Day 1):

England 227-4 v Australia

 

Full scorecard

England lost three top wickets for 23 runs to toss away their advantage over Australia on day one at Edgbaston.

 

Marcus Trescothick (90) played a lazy shot at a wide delivery off Michael Kasprowicz which he could only edge to grateful wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist.

 

Ian Bell then edged a defensive push and Kasprowicz was celebrating his second wicket in the same over.

 

Then Michael Vaughan, who had played some fine drives in an innings of 24, hooked Jason Gillespie to fine leg.

 

 

Full story: McGrath ruled out with freak injury

Acuthubillah!!

 

I dont believe a Somali or even Black man would watch this ***** Cricket.

[-Nomadique-]

^^^^^^ Yes I am glad they didnt introduce this game to Somalia. Amazing finish though 2 run win bloody brilliant and I dont even watch Cricket :cool: .Unlucky for us though.

lol@Soma, try to be open minded saxib, just watch a few clips here and there (we dont sit infront of the telly all day), understand the scoring system,terminology (will take time), and you will get the ug soon enough.

 

Rocko: what a test match, i was lucky enough to be sitting at home at the time to see the climax.

 

Game on for the 3rd test, the aussies have injuries, the poms actually have a chance!
