[Balbi]

[Balbi]

[Balbi]

[Balbi]

a good nights work gentlemen

im off for a snooze

 

[Andy the Don]

Not a bad days work. Looks like we may finally give the Aussies a game.

 

[jugularvein]

so slow though! was that really all down to the pitch? Anyway, well done lads!

"It's always a challenge against Warney, but I enjoy a good fight and playing against the best side in the world," said Bell

Isn't that what this test series is about Ian? Who's the best? Why have you just conceded that they are? That's a bit silly isn't it?

I was just reading through yesterday's review on the beeb and this quote came up.

Australia officially are the best side in the world, on the ICC Test Championship table. They are 1st with 130pts, England are 2nd with 119pts. Bell wasn't conceding 'bragging rights', just stating fact.

I'm not sure if England can (mathematically) get the number 1 spot during this series.... but they will need to win the series at least 3-1 at a guess. As England did poorly in their last visit to Aus I think that the current result will 'replace' the last result.

... long way to go though.....

 

[Belushi]

Good nights batting, lets hope they can keep it tomorrow.

 

[marty21]

marty you bearded fuck

if it's any consolation i over slept and i was nearly an hour late for work
still it got better

 

[Relahni]

The funniest thing was watching McGrath saunter over to try and catch KP in the last over.

Slow doesn't begin to explain it!

lol

 

[Relahni]

Enjoyed watching KP v Warneeeeeeee

 

[liquidlunch]

Well there you go,3for after a full day Been a while since thats happened and its been a good day for Collingwood too.Hope he makes a ton then gets straight out
Its almost a repeat of last series in a way.I think McGrath needs a rest from what was written a couple of posts ago
Anyway i bet you pommy bastards think Christmas has come early dream on

No - it was always who ever won the toss was going to bat.

But it was funny watching KP stand up to Warneeeeeeeee.

The salad dodger looked tired towards the end. Good viewing!

if (and what an if that is) england beat australia two times in two years then those official ratings would become less important.

Would't hold me breath

 

[London_Calling]

Fuck me, is that Aussie voice-over bloke on the BBC 10 minute download package (of each days play) camp enough ?


Makes Charles Hawtrey sound like the Viacom voice.

 

[fear-n-loathing]

hopefully we can get a shed load more runs on the board today. put them under some pressure

 

[Dirty Martini]

400 at least. Could have done with Mahmood in there, doing his No. 8 Richard Hadlee impression.

 

[fear-n-loathing]

here we go come england

 

[Balbi]

Come on woody!

 

[fear-n-loathing]

get in

 

[marty21]

colly's got it, 100

 

[Nemo]

Pietersen just avoided an incredibly close call for caught behind thanks to eagle-eye Bucknor.

 

[Nemo]

The Aussie bowling attack seems to be wavering too.

(Cue a hail of wickets).

 

[shagnasty]

mcgrath is only firing on three cylinders

 

[Nemo]

mcgrath is only firing on three cylinders

He's going to be in a filthy mood.

 

[Balbi]

mcgrath is only firing on three cylinders

make that two

300 up

 

[JTG]

He's going to be in a filthy mood.

McGrath's shite when he's riled up, seen it happen before. When he's angry he loses all control and the batsman's won.

 

[JTG]

Did anyone else know that Brett Lee has fewer Test wickets at a higher average than Matthew Hoggard after roughly the same number of Tests?

I find that interesting

 

[JTG]

Glennda is being given the same treatment that Warne got last year (and this actually) - no respect. You'll get wickets mate but you're going to pay for them...
