The Ashes 2009

[TrippyLondoner]

It feels like one of those days where they're just gonna be playing cause they have to rather than getting a result, though aussies might fancy bowling us out,dunno.

 

[Nemo]

Broad warming up.

 

[Nemo]

Malfoy on for Swann.

 

[butchersapron]

Broads time to shine

 

[Cerberus]

Ball the right age for swing. Cloud beginning to gather.

Conditions ripe for Jimmeh..

Broad off to the usual

 

[Nemo]

Malfoy gets one!

 

[Cerberus]

Well bowled Broady

Bye bye mr cricket

 

[TrippyLondoner]

broad maybe this game is alive still...

 

[Nemo]

I don't understand why Broad doesn't bowl like this more often: steady application of pressure leading to a mistake and a wicket. Similar to how he got Sarwan at Durham.

 

[Badgers]

Easy, easy, easy...

 

[Nemo]

At least one more needed before lunch.

 

[ExtraRefined]

We've got about 30-35 overs to finish them off if we're to stand a decent chance of winning by my reckoning. Doable still certainly.

 

[Nemo]

I'd feel better if Clarke were gone as well.

 

[Cerberus]

I'd feel better if Clarke were gone as well.

Absolutely

almost made a huge mistake with his first ball. Looked solid since...

 

[gabi]

I'd love it if later this evening with england needing a few runs to win and time running out, Punter called for the physio a couple of times to treat an 'injury'.. That'd be justice.

They'd have a set number of overs to bowl.

 

[Nemo]

They'd have a set number of overs to bowl.

Yep. 15 overs in the last hour.

 

[gabi]

They'd have a set number of overs to bowl.

Good point.

I'm sure theres going to some kind of controversy later on tho.

 

[Nemo]

Good point.

I'm sure theres going to some kind of controversy later on tho.

If there isn't the Australians will invent some.

 

[JimW]

Clarke settling in and picking off the loose ones. Wicket soon

 

[Nemo]

This is drifting.

 

[Balbi]

Yeah, dull. dull. dull.

I'm changing channel in the hope that we'll get wickets.

 

[JimW]

Do something magic Fred

 

[butchersapron]

Mnay time/overs yet. No panic

 

[JimW]

Couple of recognised batsmen to go too tho, plus the inevitablel bit of a wag from some bit of the tail

 

[Nemo]

Fred looking crocked.

 

[butchersapron]

Couple of recognised batsmen to go too tho, plus the inevitablel bit of a wag from some bit of the tail

Yep, that's all they've got left.

 

[Nemo]

Yep, that's all they've got left.

Quite a lot to have left at this stage.

 

[butchersapron]

PMA Nemo.

 

[Nemo]

Lead now 100. 6 wickets left. Draw.
