England vs Australia | 4th Ashes Test | Chester-le-Street | 10/8/13 | Day 2

[Nuekboi]

Take a bow Rogers, great innings in difficult conditions

 

[Haroon786]

Rogers well done sir, richly deserved 100

 

[Robert]

Played Chris Rogers!

 

[Amjid Javed]

A 40-50 run lead here could be pivitol.

 

[WebGuru]

well done rogers...

 

[Convict]

Great century by the WA boy.

Needs to match Simpson's first test century

 

[Haroon786]

They now need to kill off the trail

 

[leatherface58]

Rogers needs to adopt the Sehwag method of getting out of 90s. Right now he is adopting the Slater method though.

Like I said...

Congrats Rogers. Another batsman from the Old is Gold school

 

[Haroon786]

looking at 10-15 runs lead, should've been alittle more

 

[Haroon786]

Although the Ashes have been won, the complexion of the series looks so much different now

There are unlikely comebacks, and then there's Chris Rogers's recall to Australia's Test squad...

 

[Haroon786]

Look at Swann's stats compared to Barbie's, makes him looke like a club level bowler(test career stats)

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lovely lofted shot for 4 by haddin...

 

[Haroon786]

No Aus player has tried to hit Swann out of the attack in this series

 

[saiyan0312]

nice hundred by rogers... well played.

 

[Justcrazy]

217 / 5

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia trail by 21 runs with 5 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies should now shut down there shop.

 

[Amjid Javed]

lovely late cut/drive for 4 by haddin

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aus 222/5 - 16 behind now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Every boundary would hurt Poms from now on.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bad light stopped play, looks like that will be it for today!

 

[Justcrazy]

Umpires go off

 

[Haroon786]

Called off-bad light

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies could have got another 30 runs here.

 

[Haroon786]

If its stumps, should look to attack tomorrow and get 100+ lead

 

[Nuekboi]

Starc, Pattinson, and Agar really add an extra dimension to Aus batting. With those three you could never count Australia out of it unless you got all 10 wickets

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia trail by 16 runs with 5 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Nuekboi]

Anything above 50 run lead could be difficult, getting Haddin and the tail will be pivotal for England
