This is looking ominous now. Swann is not bowling well at all.

 

[butchersapron]

This is where we're at our most dangerous and aus at their weakest.

 

[butchersapron]

Congratulations, MEK Hussey! Good timing as well.

Aye. well done. He's got Swann right every time.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Collingwood bowling.

 

[twentythreedom]

this is getting frustrating!!

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Fucksticks. To bed.

 

[Lock&Light]

I'm getting the impression that there are some people who think England might win.

 

[DuckQuack'sEcho]

Good morning session for us. Grats to Hussey for the well-timed century and Haddin has hung in there with some accelerated scoring from mid-session onwards. With a lead of 69 runs and five wickets in hand, I think this session has definitely turned the match in our favour. We just need some consolidation in the lunch to tea session.

[DuckQuack'sEcho]

[TrippyLondoner]

Nightmare session(s), glad i slept through it. Would go back to sleep now if i could.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

[TrippyLondoner]

Finn gets 6 wickets on his ashes debut, Aussies all out for 481, just glad its over. Predicting we end the day on 20-2.

Sour grapes, I know, but Hussey was plumb lbw. Well done to him and Haddin for cashing in in the afternoon, but boy were they lucky to survive the first hour.

if he was plumb then why was he not given?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

if he was plumb then why was he not given?

Because the ball hit both pads, so the umpire heard two noises, and the umpire incorrectly decided that the first of those noises was the ball hitting the bat.

I'm a big fan of Aleem Dar, but he got that one wrong.

And given that England lost one of their reviews yesterday to an appeal that was later proved to have been correct, I think they are entitled to feel hard done by. The review system is not working quite right yet. England did little wrong, yet a howler – and yes, it was a howler – was allowed through. That Hussey had just been reprieved by the review system for another lb shout just makes it even more galling.

 

[liquidlunch]

I was under the impression there was a third umpire that looked at any doubtful ones as well as the field ump.

 

[strung out]

the third umpire doesn't rule on lbw decisions unless it's been referred by the batting or bowling team iirc

 

[Santino]

Well, well, well.

 

[strung out]

great stuff so far. nice and steady boys. i don't want to wake up in the morning to a disaster.

why didnt the batsman get it referred then.I missed it all as i went out of range for a few hours yesterday

 

[strung out]

the batsmen didn't refer it because he was given not out! we didn't refer it because we'd run out of referrals (i think we lost a referral once because although it was out, there was enough doubt for it not to be given)

 

[liquidlunch]

oh,stiff cheese then old beanI am not gloating,far from it in fact.Your blokes have made a good start this innings,hope it doesn't last

 

[TrippyLondoner]

what a session!!

 

[DrRingDing]

Reassuring stuff.

Let's see if the rest of the team cangive it too.

 

[Santino]

100 for Strauss. Stirring stuff, captain's innings, Empire spirit etc etc.

 

[DrRingDing]
