The Ashes 2009

[Azertyioup]

C'mon Monty son !

 

[Larje]

Fuck fuckity fuck. But what a ballsy innings from Colly.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

England batsman in throwing wicket away shocker!

bit harsh on him, tbh, its cos of him we still have a chance

 

[Barking_Mad]

Panesar - always rated him as a bat

 

[Azertyioup]

Yep it's the others who have let the team down there is not much wrong with that pitch, the likes of Cook KP et al should be ashamed of themselves.

 

[mattie]

Amen to that. Lower order and tail have done OK in this match.

 

[Relahni]

245 balls he lasted, amazing

He did well.

I've noticed that the English are very quick to criticise one mistake, ignoring all of the good stuff.

Sucks really.

 

[Barking_Mad]

feck that was close. Aussies are begging.

 

[paulhackett]

first innings 100 short and the time it would have taken and we'd have been alright

 

[Azertyioup]

He did well.

That's not really true, if anything we praise efforts especially when it still ends in defeat.

1927 is welsh isnt he? he's the one i quoted....

 

[Barking_Mad]

[marty21]

[1927]

Racist!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Racist!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

c'mon monty man!

 

[Barking_Mad]

that was not a good single to take.....maybe...

 

[Azertyioup]

So if they could get ahead then they lose 3 overs so in a way just 6 left, we need a few runs.

 

[marty21]

3 runs! avoiding an innings defeat would be great tbh

 

[Cerberus]

Fantastic from Colly. As others have said just wish the other top order batsmen had the fortitude and grit of PC.

C'mon Monty

 

[1927]

I'll invite Ddraig back to the thread if ya dont watch it!!!

There cant be many more scarey things to do in sport than face a quickie when ya a No.11 bat, fair do's Monty.

 

[Nemo]

It's all a bit Vitai Lampada, isn't it?

 

[mattie]

C'mon Monty

I bet there's still a clamour to drop him.

He's no Graham Thorpe, but he's got guts and gets runs.

 

[marty21]

we'll have none of that dance talk on here

 

[badlands]

Get ahead.

GET AHEAD.

will only be 5 overs left then

assuming they bat it out.

I saw a blog entry a while back saying Colly hadn't been playing well this year and pointed out that he was averaging over 50. It's weird how that happens, but Colly really proves his value in situations like this.

C'mon Monty

Is Collingwood the most stereotypically Northern bloke ever? Dour, resilient, reliable etc....

 

[TrippyLondoner]

YIPEE

 

[Nemo]

4!

 

[Azertyioup]

C'mon ahead now, don't fuck it up England.
