The Ashes 2009

[Nemo]

Bit baffled at this bowling to Jimmeh. He's not out because he's not good enough to hit some of the bouncier deliveries, so why not go for the stumps?

did I miss much? had to feed our neighbour's cat

Trott's got to 100. 361-8.

 

[fen_boy]

Declaration coming?

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Onions named "official" 'Beard of the Ashes" apparently

by the Beard Liberation Front.

I could listen to this all day. Oh, hold on...

 

[Nemo]

Declaration coming?

Probably. Certainly should be.

 

[marty21]

Trott's got to 100. 361-8.

I wasn't gone that long

 

[Nemo]

Two great shots down the ground from Leon.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

trott 118 not out

 

[Nemo]

This performance will also make it very hard for the Aussie media to moan about the pitch.

true.

 

[Nemo]

Trott out. No reaction at all. England declare on 373-9.

Great innings from Trott.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

weird ending

 

[marty21]

373-9 declared

well played

 

[Nemo]

And if the Aussies can get 546 to win, all power to them.

 

[agricola]

Trott goes, England declare. No celebration from the Aussies, they look gone.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

And if the Aussies can get 543 to win, all power to them.

546 you mean??? 545 run lead i thought i read.

 

[Nemo]

At first because of the lack of reaction I thought it hadn't carried.

 

[Nemo]

546 you mean??? 545 run lead i thought i read.

Just corrected it. I was getting the figure from Cricinfo and it hadn't been updated.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Ah i see.

 

[agricola]

An early wicket and this could go mental.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

c'mon jimmeh

 

[Nemo]

Why are they taking such sharp singles?

If you added "to Ian Bell" to the end of that you would have both question and answer in the same sentence.

Even he can't miss every time.

 

[Nemo]

Pretty good lb shout but not given.

 

[Nemo]

Watson still looking like a walking lbw decision.

E2A: and running like they need 15 off the last over of a T20.

 

[Nemo]

Swann in the attack now.

 

[Discordia]

The more I watch cricket the more I wonder if commentators/ex cricketers/current cricketers? really have any idea how to read a pitch. 350-6 or something, on this allegedly terrible pitch? Righto...

That catch (Trott was it? missed it) didn't carry!

How does Watson score runs? Walking LBW as mentioned, but somehow gets some decent runs before it happens.

Very powerfully, is how Watson seems to score.

Very good puller of the ball.
