The Ashes 2009

[mattie]

Watson seems to be trying to oblige. Two inside edges past stumps.

 

[Nemo]

Definitely bowler-shuffling time.

 

[Nemo]

The runs are flowing too easily here.

 

[gabi]

Sounds like a decent pitch. Shame this match will be ruined by rain.

Looks a very good pitch, which is nothing short of miraculous. The forecast seems to have improved too.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

We aren't being intense enough it seems, aussies doing well though, scoring quicker than i expected.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

That's more like it broad.

 

[Nemo]

How has Watson managed to miss his stumps for this long?

 

[TrippyLondoner]

I'm assuming all the aussies in austrailia have gone to sleep by now?What time would it be there? Too bad they would be missing this!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Goddamnit, wake up bowlers!

 

[mattie]

Far, far too many boundaries.

 

[Nemo]

WTF is wrong with these bowlers?

 

[TrippyLondoner]

almost a catch...but another four

 

[Nemo]

Swann should be given a go soon imo.

E2A: and just as I posted that Warne said the same thing.

 

[Cerberus]

Christ -its raining boundries...

Dunno about the others but Broad is just WRONG at the moment

Pitch looks perfect for batting. Ball sitting up and slowing down. Just hope it holds up for our innings.

Looks like the Aussie's are set for a BIG score

 

[Nemo]

Swann should be given a go soon imo.

E2A: and just as I posted that Warne said the same thing.

And here he is.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Swann is on!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

didnt see what was wrong with that appeal

 

[Nemo]

didnt see what was wrong with that appeal

Nor me. Only appeal today I've thought was out.

 

[Nemo]

Yes!

 

[butchersapron]

Here we go

 

[mattie]

Katich as well - Watson looks likely to get out on a relatively regular basis, Katich looked more assured.

Nice.

 

[Nemo]

Not sure why Katich looked so upset about that decision; as Boycott would say a blind man would give that out.

 

[Cerberus]

You beauty....

Good call Nemo...................and warnie

 

[Nemo]

You beauty....

Good call Nemo...................and warnie

Glad to be of service.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

swanny!

 

[Nemo]

Why are there all these comfortable deliveries outside off?

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Crowd are getting their moneys worth in this session aren't they?

 

[Nemo]

Crowd are getting their moneys worth in this session aren't they?

Just as well considering they won't be getting any back (assuming three more overs of play).

 

[Cerberus]

Broad is getting clobbered...

shame about his form in this series.....really wanted him to succeed. Maybe the pundits are correct - he could do with a spell of county cricket.

Expect to see Harmy at Leeds
