Paul Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Stuart Broad will usually produce one match winning, or at least match changing performance during a test series. He's not been at his best for the last couple of years, largely down to injury but he's someone you'd have in your test side. I watched Willis take 8/43 at Headingly in that great test of '81, still the best test I have ever seen and have always rated that as the best bowling performance I ever saw. Willis was a man possessed that day. Totally focused on taking wickets. He wanted nothing to do with anyone else on the pitch. When fielders tried to congratulate him he turned away and started walking back to his mark (which for big Bob was a long walk, he ran in from the boundary almost). His eyes were like the proverbial wee wee holes in the snow. He was on another planet that day. Broad's approach was very different but that performance is right up there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I was on the beach, well the pebble stones at Weymouth and our hotel owner came over and said i'm opening the bar early, I feel a win coming on!. Us men did the dutiful thing, and left the wives on the pebble beach! Agreed Paul, that Willis eight for was awesome! Iain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Just an aside, a Bill Frindall moment. The last time Australia were bowled out before lunch on the first day of a test match, W.G. Grace made 66 leading Englands reply, which totalled 292 and there were five balls per over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 I went to Morrisons just after England had won the toss. Came home via some three way roads works in Beccles. Our lot never moved for 20 mins, then that is another story. By the time I got in , the Aussies were almost all out. I shall settle down and watch what happens this afternoon.

Labrador Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Make sure you watch it from first ball today, I don't think there will be too many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatingman Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Hi Labrador Hope you are right but England Cricket teams do have the ability to mess things up We should win but we do need those three wickets quickly I would not want to see England chasing a 150 plus total Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I suspect the Aussie tail may wag a bit, if only for personal pride. If England lose this series now, then its time to turn Lord's into a new housing complex!!! Broad looked knackered last night. Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Great credit to the England cricketers. I didn't this series was a foregone conclusion but I thought it would be an uphill struggle. In the end they have destroyed Australia. I certainly never saw that coming. Cook has struggle for form and he and Bell are still looking very scratchy but they have grafted through.

SwanR Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Just got back in and sat down in front of the tv as the last wicket fell. It's been exciting stuff ... as cricket goes when you're a non-cricketing-occasional-watcher! Well done England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
