The Ashes 2010/11

[embree]

That is the first Ashes century for an England keeper since Jack Russell at Old trafford in 1989

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

well done prior.

 

[pennimania]

101 no

well played sir

 

[embree]

fastest Ashes century by an Englishman since Botham

 

[embree]

6 of the top 7 now have centuries in the series. The other one has just retired out of shame

 

[pennimania]

9 centuries - a record for England in the Ashes

 

[twentythreedom]

have been away from thread for few days - looks like i missed some amusement here! anyway, cricket - fucking excellent, we're going to thoroughly beat those aussie wankers and return the spirit of cricket to its rightful ancestral home.

i wish beer would stop doing that thing with his tongue.

Healy has just described Johnson as 'one of the world's great fast bowlers' on Channel 9. There aren't enough lols in the world for that

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Bloody hell. Aussies take a great catch shocker.

 

[embree]

Tim Bresnan fails with 35. He should retire

 

[pennimania]

It's my fault - I was playing with the cat instead of concentrating

perhaps I should go to bed..

 

[embree]

Anyone know what the fewest wickets England have lost in an Ashes series is?

 

[embree]

First time ever in Test cricket that wickets 6, 7 & 8 have added 100+ each

 

[pennimania]

How many off that over?

TestMatchSofa: "this is a rogering of truly epic proportions"

my broadbandconnection isn't fast enough for that - but it sounds great

oh noes - Prior - oh it's a no ball ;D

 

[strung out]

oh boo, what a load of shit. definitely a no ball (i've only got the radio)

 

[embree]

he's given him out

It was a no ball - are they trying not to annoy the sulky home team by doing it to them again?

 

[pennimania]

oh boo, what a load of shit. definitely a no ball (i've only got the radio)

(((you and me)))

 

[littlebabyjesus]

If he thinks it's a no ball, there's an established convention that he calls no ball and extends his arm horizontally.

 

[embree]

they're entitled to ask for help. As are the batsmen

 

[pennimania]

And now ' a hoik for six'

 

[embree]

England's second highest ever innings score in Australia

 

[littlebabyjesus]

20 from the over

 

[shagnasty]

oh boo, what a load of shit. definitely a no ball (i've only got the radio)

I felt his heel was on the line

 

[pennimania]

According to TMS, the Aussies aren't applauding their opponents' milestones because 'their fingers would get too bruised'

 

[embree]

I felt his heel was on the line

on the line is a no ball

 

[littlebabyjesus]

It was a clear no ball, I thought.

But it was close. It just seems that close is not a no ball unless a wicket falls, which isn't a good way to do things to me.
