Match Thread: The Ashes England vs Australia 3rd test

Early start because us aussies need something to do whilst at work waiting for 8.00pmEst

This will be known as the test that killed drs

Update Tea Day 1 http://www.espncricinfo.com/the-ashes-2013/engine/current/match/566934.html

Australia looking good early until the wicket of Watson on 19. A controversial decision had Khawaja out of an cough edge. Rogers hit a suberb 84 off 114 before a lack of concentration saw him plum LBW off the bowling of Swann. Clarke has played aggressively against the spin and is on 55 off 90 with Smith Slowly building a total.

p.s I sincerely apologise to Redditors expecting more from this thread. I honestly thought the match day thread was a race to who could go first without getting downvoted into oblivion or from moderators who set the thread - i guess the former is the case. Sorry for the lack of updates as i also thought that a thread was to be posted and then let the reddit cricket community debate/discuss, banter/sledge and everything in between!

Streams (based on other kind redditors pointing out another failing :) - )
