The Ashes 2009

[Santino]

bumble's saying bell's dismissal was a no ball.

Oh for the love of...

 

[Nemo]

Tell us when he reaches 73.

I wasn't advocating a recall. He needs serious work on his technique outside off-stump.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Serious facepalm for the umpires if that's the case.

Not good enough if true. Giving a player out off a clear no-ball is as bad as any gross lbw wrongness.

It's not so much that as the fact that if it's true it would be the second one today (and 50% of the total wickets).

 

[Nemo]

Trott almost comes a cropper trying to play a KP style vertical sweep.

 

[Nemo]

Prior goes to a loose drive.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Damn. Same old england.

 

[Cerberus]

Done by the slow ball....poor shot really

Trotters needs to score big..

Fred-mania now

 

[Nemo]

Here's the big man.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

flintoff!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

God were gonna be shit without him aren't we?

 

[Mr.Bishie]

C'mon Freddy!!!

 

[baldrick]

urgh.

i was starting to get optimistic for a while back there.

aus are shit hot again.

 

[Nemo]

North getting sharp turn here. This is going to be a right bunsen in the next couple of days.

 

[g force]

I think England's bowlers could cause huge probs for the Aussies on this pitch. We just need a decent total to start with.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Have to say, after our last performance i would've taken this situation.

 

[Nemo]

Flintoff goes to a loose shot now.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

oh bollocks. i'm keeping quiet now.

 

[baldrick]

so would i but we really need not to lose any more wickets today. we need a decent total for aus to bat at.

 

[baldrick]

shit it.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Danger of being bundled out now. Anything under 350 is very poor.

 

[Cerberus]

Fucking hell - piss poor shot from our 'hero'

Johnson's figures are looking better and better through this series - despite all the extras!

Swann and Broad have to hang around with Trotsky for England to post a near competitve total now..

Not looking great

 

[Nemo]

so would i but we really need not to lose any more wickets today. we need a decent total for aus to bat at.

Someone needs something more than just a good start here.

 

[fen_boy]

broad double hundred

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Its typical though isn't it -at the crucial moments, we throw it away, aussies step up.

 

[baldrick]

Someone needs something more than just a good start here.

we need trott to hang around.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

broad living dangerously, 250 up.

 

[Nemo]

broad living dangerously, 250 up.

Indeed. Let's cross our fingers that when the inevitable happens, it's a no ball.

 

[fen_boy]

Extras is going well

 

[baldrick]

Indeed. Let's cross our fingers that when the inevitable happens, it's a no ball.

he'll be given out anyway
