The Ashes 2009

[baldrick]

Oh and our captain got out on a no ball, but we havent whinged about it, btw.

indeed. swings and roundabouts innit. bad decisions go both ways.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

1-1 with bad decisions today.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

that is a whinge isn't it?

Nope,just pointing out that it evens out.

 

[Nemo]

Good battling 50 from Katich.

 

[baldrick]

well done that man

 

[Nemo]

Out of interest, has anyone seen liquidlunch and his not unrelated compatriot upchuck recently?

 

[Balbi]

now clatter your own stumps

 

[Santino]

Nothing like a bit of gentlemanly applause when your team is well on top.

 

[Nemo]

Bopara's made 201 for Essex btw. What a contrast to his recent international offerings.

 

[baldrick]

follow on looming. 223 behind

 

[TrippyLondoner]

[Nemo]

[Santino]

[Balbi]

6

 

[Pie 1]

GET IN!!!!

 

[Santino]

So... great bowling or poor batting?

 

[Nemo]

At risk of jinxing them, England's bowling has been very good today.

 

[big eejit]

Hmm, I may have to go to the pub to watch this!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

This is amazing.

 

[Discordia]

Nope,just pointing out that it evens out.

I suppose if all 10 players on both teams were given out wrongly that would be evened out to. I don't think that would be good for the game, though. Maybe it's just me.

 

[marty21]

possibly England's session?

 

[Nemo]

So... great bowling or poor batting?

Mostly great bowling. Unlike England, the batsmen have generally been got out.

 

[Santino]

I wouldn't actually enforce the follow on with this pitch.

 

[Pie 1]

So... great bowling or poor batting?

Very good bowling, tbf.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Very good bowling, tbf.

Yep.

 

[Nemo]

I suppose if all 10 players on both teams were given out wrongly that would be evened out to. I don't think that would be good for the game, though. Maybe it's just me.

Out of interest, are you ever interested in the quality of the Cricket, or only in the quality of the umpiring?

 

[Balbi]

possibly England's session?

I applaud your mastery of understatement

 

[Diamond]

Follow on, or not?

Wouldn't want to bat last on that.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

wicket maiden!
