The Ashes 2009

[Nemo]

Fred's peppering the off-side boundary atm.

 

[Nemo]

i didn't say that did i?I feel that there is a lot of bookies who can taint the game in the sub continent,thats all

True enough.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

go on freddie my son! told u lot fred wudnt let the aussies get their way.

 

[strung out]

any streams knocking about?

 

[liquidlunch]

Did you hear when Tuffers asked McConnell how many balls were left in the over and McConnell said 'Count em yourself you pommie cunt'.. Even Gooch defended Tuffers on that one..

it was in jest thou.Gooch is lacking humour

 

[Nemo]

Another good one. Watson not doing it.

 

[JimW]

Do they call Watson an all-rounder cos that's the parts of the ground he gets tonked to for four?

Apparently there's a lot of qs about the last IPL.. but less to do with the umpiring and more to do with no balls, wides etc. and that the ICC watchdog weren't in SA for the tournament.

[Nemo]

Siddle seems to be getting more bounce out of this pitch than anyone else.

not suprising,there is always a way to rort

 

[liquidlunch]

fuck this shit,10 runs an over in the last 4 overs

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Damn those umpires.

 

[Nemo]

fuck this shit,10 runs an over in the last 4 overs

Some streaky fours though.

Anyway, Hauritz on now.

E2A: also, I think you mean 'the last four balls.'

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Whose laughing now eh Liquidlunch?

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

So do we bat on as long as possible or declare?

 

[Nemo]

Bat the rest of the day certainly (if possible). If lead is sufficient, declare overnight.

Yup just concentrate on making sure aussies can't win it first.

edit: great shot!

Not so much that. More that if England are to win, the majority of the margin must come from the first innings.

Fuck it!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

bloody prior! done good though.

 

[Cerberus]

Balls

soft, soft, soft fucking dismissal. Prior will kick himself..

Both batsmen were looking well set and scoring fast. Now the rate will slow right down

 

[liquidlunch]

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Don't forget aussies, anderson hasn't had a bat yet.

 

[Nemo]

Six! Scores level.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

six!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

*applauds the 50 for fred*

 

[Nemo]

Fred goes to 50 with a great sweep off Hauritz.

 

[strung out]

Freddie will go cheaply I tells ya..

Cant see how we will reach par let alone surpass their score. Uncomfortable afternoon ahead I think
