The Ashes 2009

[JimW]

I think I said run out for 99 earlier.

You are a cruel, cruel man.

 

[Nemo]

You are a cruel, cruel man.

I know.

 

[Nemo]

Some good bowling here.

 

[Nemo]

Dropped!

 

[Nemo]

Let's hope Haddin keeps hitting it in the air.

 

[Balbi]

for fucks sake, gabis bet on aussies might hold at this rate

 

[JimW]

Dropped!

We've only got five wickets to play with, got to drop a few if we want to watch them struggle for a bit of tomorrow too.

 

[gabi]

for fucks sake, gabis bet on aussies might hold at this rate

I've hedged it with a massive bet on the poms. Don't worry.

 

[Nemo]

Poor Jimmeh, a drop and two which dropped just short of a fielder in one over.

 

[Nemo]

100 for Hussey. Great rearguard.

 

[marty21]

century for hussey

 

[JimW]

*applauds Hussey smugly* - will he ever get a more pointless century?

 

[Nemo]

And now that's out of the way, he can obligingly shoulder arms and be bowled.

 

[butchersapron]

*applauds Hussey smugly* - will he ever get a more pointless century?

Yes, he'll get one in SA.

 

[llion]

Well done Hussey. Very brave innings.

 

[gabi]

*applauds Hussey smugly* - will he ever get a more pointless century?

We'll see after he reaches 200 in this innings.

 

[Nemo]

We'll see after he reaches 200 in this innings.

Have you got money on that?

 

[JimW]

We'll see after he reaches 200 in this innings.

The word's "plucky" isn't it, when Antipodeans are putting a brave face on another defeat?

 

[Diamond]

That trumpet sounds a bit maudlin. We need something more upbeat.

 

[JimW]

You get a true picture of how utterly shit that Aussie first innings was when here they they are batting well on a tricky pitch for absolutely no purpose

 

[ExtraRefined]

That trumpet sounds a bit maudlin. We need something more upbeat.

More upbeat than A-Ha?

 

[marty21]

very possible now for Australia to get the highest innings score, and still lose

 

[Nemo]

GBH on now.

 

[JimW]

very possible now for Australia to get the highest innings score, and still lose

Could break records and fall well short Which would be nice, because then they'll be reminded of it at regular intervals for all time to come

 

[gabi]

Have you got money on that?

Nope. I've got a shitload on the poms to win though.

 

[gabi]

Jesus. 'Explode' and 'Cutter'.. What the fuck's happened to TMS? If I hear those words again I might need to tune into sky.

 

[Nemo]

This partnership is getting annoying.

 

[Nemo]

Good time for the first international triple hat-trick.

 

[Nemo]

How is Haddin still there?

 

[marty21]

just lost TMS from the website, said it wasn't available in my area hackneyist


but it's back on now
