The Ashes 2009

[Corax]

Jimmeh bowling now.

Not well by the sounds of it.

 

[Nemo]

Not well by the sounds of it.

No. Decidedly not. Not really up to speed either.

 

[Corax]

Not been a good day really, but atleast we have had a spell of wickets. Need another, now, though.

If we get them down to the tail, we stand a chance of finishing them with a beatable lead in the morning.

If we leave any batsmen in, they'll shell up.

Bowl them out for 300. Score 400 second innings. Bowl them out for 150.

It's a good plan with only one or two flaws.

Flawless imo.

Oh wait, we have bell,nevermind.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Wait...

Eng 1st inns: 102
Aus 1st inns: 300 (Aus lead by 198)
Eng 2nd inns: 400 (Eng lead by 202)
Aus 2nd Inns: 150 (Aus lose by 52 runs)

Why 52? Your numbers confuse me.


I'm optimistically going for:

Eng 1st inns: 102
Aus 1st inns: 311 (Aus lead by 209)
Eng 2nd inns: 537 (Eng lead by 328)
Aus 2nd Inns: 321 (Aus lose by 7 runs)



And why the fuck not.

 

[Nemo]

Ticking off Strauss for the use of subs.

FFS, Harmison, full and straight.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

ouchy ouchy ouchy

 

[Nemo]

Nasty blow on the head for Clarke there.

 

[Corax]

Yeah! Dropped one of the fuckers!

 

[Corax]

I do hope he's okay though....

 

[Balbi]

Do it again

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Do it again

Absolutely.

Not joking.

Although a yorker would be a good double bluff.

 

[Nemo]

Time for a slower ball yorker surely.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

oh ffs

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Can't get them straight.

 

[Corax]

Bastards!

That was so CLEARLY out!

On the radio.

 

[Nemo]

And the Aussies get a dodgy decision in their favour.

 

[paulhackett]

He's taken his glove off to feel the spot ffs

 

[Nemo]

If he takes the glove off, there'll be a very clear mark to show where it struck him.

Who is that mulleted twat and where is Rudi?

 

[Nemo]

Nice job for the 12th man that - helping Harmison change the insole in his boot and take the used one back.

 

[Nemo]

196-4 at stumps. England bowling mostly much too short.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Ah well. Gonna be a tense day tmrw, and newcastles season starts to, shite.

 

[Nemo]

Looks like I won't miss too much by being out tomorrow.

 

[strung out]

all the people who were calling for harmison's recall, i hope you realise why people who had a clue were saying 'please god, no'

 

[Corax]

Yeah, Harmison's the fucking problem.

 

[strung out]

i didn't say he was the only problem

 

[gabi]

Bastards!

That was so CLEARLY out!

On the radio.

Well. I was out playin cricket meself. Didn't see it, nor hear it. But hey....

It all evens out right?
