The Ashes 2009

[TrippyLondoner]

ha, beat you to it nemo.

 

[Balbi]

Field not as zippy as yesterday. Good fielding again from the cons.

 

[Nemo]

Batting is coming alive now.

 

[Balbi]

Broad century today

 

[TrippyLondoner]

I wish the crowd would chant to this spinner' you're not shane warne' you're not shane warne!'

 

[Nemo]

100 partnership now. At just the right time.

 

[Balbi]

100 partnership, well done lads.

 

[Nemo]

I wish the crowd would chant to this spinner' you're not shane warne' you're not shane warne!'

Yep.

And there's not much the Aussies could do in response, cause 'you're not Underwood' doesn't have the same ring.

 

[marty21]

haven't checked the score until now, looking good though, 300+ lead

Yep. Good, watchful partnership from Strauss and Trott.

 

[marty21]

trott's had a pretty good debut

 

[Nemo]

Let's hope Strauss will stop padding up to the spinners now.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Odd how liquidlunch ain't here all of a sudden.

 

[Nemo]

50 for Trott. Well batted.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

trott 50!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Balbi]

50 on the trott.

 

[Nemo]

trott 50!!!!!!!!!!!

Beat you to it.

 

[Balbi]

50 at a canter for trot?

trott gallops to 50?

 

[London_Calling]

Great morning, just hang in there a little longer.

Half tempted to look back through the thread to see how many wanted Broad dropped.

The Ashes, football, the World Athletics Championships and F1 - what a weekend!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

wicket

 

[Nemo]

Strauss edges to slip.

Oh well, still a very good innings.

 

[Balbi]

Strauss gone 5 mins before lunch

 

[marty21]

bugger

 

[Balbi]

Prior, Flintoff, Broad, Swann, Jimmeh - get your battling heads screwed on

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Good innings though, i'll take that.

 

[Nemo]

Ponting bloodied at silly point.

157-4 at lunch. Good session. 99 runs for 1 wicket.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

ouchy!

 

[Balbi]

hahahahahhahahahahahahahhaha (glad he's o.k)

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Hope he enjoys his lunch.

 

[Nemo]

I suppose one could say well fielded.
