The Ashes 2010/11

[shagnasty]

Yes lets hope he can go on for a century

 

[embree]

nice knock from bell as well.

He's a beautiful batsman to watch. Cook's much more watchable these days but Bell is fantastic

 

[embree]

Only Hammond to beat now in terms of runs in a series

Just the odd 150 more to get Ally

 

[embree]

Smith & Beer on - are Australia trying to encourage the declaration?

 

[embree]

Cook past Bradman's 1934 haul of 758 runs

and so it goes on

 

[strung out]

hussey coming on to bowl now. wicket imminent i reckon.

 

[embree]

when do we reckon Khawaja, Hughes and Haddin get a bowl then?

 

[JimW]

We'll take tea from the driving seat, thanks very much

strange feeling this, into the 3rd day of final match and taking control in a big way. fingers crossed for the weather now, cos i think they can do a job here tbh.

yep, bat the possibility of an Australian win out of sight and open up the possibility of an innings win. Again

 

[embree]

disaster!

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

doh!

 

[JimW]

Shame Cracking knock though. Someone check the butties for Aus tampering

 

[embree]

I'm actually pretty gutted about that. Only player ever to score two doubles in an Ashes series is Bradman. So close.

Edit: sorry, Hammond managed two in a series as well

 

[embree]

The horror, the horror

 

[embree]

Not. Out.

 

[embree]

Not. Out.

Except snicko says it was

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

The horror, the horror

warney has got a nubby as well

 

[embree]

warney has got a nubby as well

he always does

 

[embree]

Except snicko says it was

Channel 9 reckon third umpire gave Dar the choice of whether to keep his original decision but told him hotspot showed nothing. Turns out Dar was right first time

 

[embree]

Well I never thought I'd see Matt Prior run out by Aleem Dar

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

still haven't

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

oh yes! well done ian bell

 

[JimW]

Well done young man, dodgy review not withstanding

 

[shagnasty]

Congrats bell.A 250 lead looks on the cards

 

[JimW]

Over the top!

 

[JimW]

And that more of a steer. Ticking along nicely.

 

[JimW]

Got it! And the 200 lead already of course

 

[shagnasty]

50 from prior .The only batsmen to not do well is colly .Bell may have got more runs higher up the order

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

whoops.
