The Ashes 2009

[Nemo]

200 up to a very risky chip for three from Fred.

 

[butchersapron]

snigger.

One in the gob and one up the arse

 

[gabi]

Fair play to fred... would actually like him to end this with a century

 

[mrsfran]

It may be the G & T I'm currently imbibing, but watching Freddie play his last makes me really quite emotional.

*wells up*

 

[Balbi]

The pitch seems to be changing its mood? Or is it the poorer quality bowlers?

 

[fen_boy]

He's going to need a lot of luck to get to 100 playing like he is.

Gin does that to me too.

I reckon the bowlers are just clueless atm.

 

[paulhackett]

One in the gob and one up the arse

Are Micah Richards and his mate there?

 

[mrsfran]

Gin does that to me too.

I've only had half a glass!

 

[gabi]

I reckon the bowlers are just clueless atm.

Ponting's a bit clueless, not the bowlers. he's got this all wrong.

 

[Nemo]

Fred gone now.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

damnit, knew i should've shut up. flintoffs batting test career is over.

 

[Balbi]

Bye Fred. Thanks.

 

[gabi]

Fuck!

 

[butchersapron]

Cheers fred. See you later...

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I've got a costume party tonight, and my mate has foolishly said that if England get 400 up on the Aussies he's coming out in full pads and whiskers as W.G Grace. I told him he might as well dump the whiskers, suck a lemon and smack himself in the mouth and come as Ponting

 

[killer b]

sounded like he had a laugh though.

 

[Nemo]

Oh well. He went as he would have wanted to go - caught in the deep playing his strokes a long way ahead in a deciding Ashes match.

 

[mrsfran]

Well done Fred. We'll miss him.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

So. what kind of lead are we aiming for? 450?

 

[Balbi]

Fred pissing around scored more than 2, 3, 4 and 6

 

[TrippyLondoner]

flintoff fittingly passing the torch to broad now....

 

[gabi]

Oh well. He went as he would have wanted to go - caught in the deep playing his strokes a long way ahead in a deciding Ashes match.

So, aussies are still in this I think. They could chase 450 i think.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

four!

 

[mrsfran]

So. what kind of lead are we aiming for? 450?

I'd say just bat out the day if poss, and take whatever lead that gives us.

 

[Balbi]

I'm now in the state of terror I am for any England batsman who's over a half century

 

[Nemo]

So, aussies are still in this I think. They could chase 450 i think.

Have you seen this pitch? They're Australia but they're not superhuman.

 

[gabi]

Have you seen this pitch? They're Australia but they're not superhuman.

I've got money on it

 

[mrsfran]

Fair play to Trott, he's doing well. Have to concede he was a good pick. Not sure Ramps would have been so sanguine.
