We're don't have to do 100 a session here, as long as we like.

Stop the obsession with declaring ffs

Hughes cannot bat - he can whack the ball if bowled bad. He cannot bat.

I dont know about that,at 20 years of age he hit a century in each innings against Sth Africa in Sth Africa.No mean feat there.So to say"he cannot bat" is simply not true

Well, I do declare...!!!

It is mate. He can hit the ball though.

 

[Red Faction]

easy 200
love it

 

[Lo Siento.]

game's already away from then. Slow, steady accumulation of runs is taking it further and further away...

after which England figured him out and he failed to progress at all

The German's using Johnson's radar then

 

[Santino]

after which England figured him out and he failed to progress at all

Middlesex obligingly signed him as an overseas player during which he obligingly scored about 4 centuries (generally in lost causes) while someone from the England camp figured out his weak spot (i.e. the good ball).

All eleven wickets to fall so far have been to catches behind the wicket to swinging or seaming balls.

Ponting has one slip in place

I don't need to say much more do I?

Edit: obviously I meant all 12. Obviously

aye his field placings are becoming more scutinised,but no one else speaks up in the team,its fucked

I'm currently enjoying this

A sample:

It should be a world-record crowd on Boxing Day. Ponting's team has proved it deserves the unadulterated support of every person in the country. England was massacred at its last Boxing Day appearance, overawed and frightened by the sheer volume of Australian support. Australian fans will give it to the English on Sunday. Weaknesses have been exposed. Personalities have been revealed. The MCG will eat them alive.

Read it all the way through, it's comedy gold

he had that silly mid on in for KP, presumably for the leading edge, but that only works if they bowl short. Which isn't what's needed

 

[butchersapron]

where are ya?

 

[butchersapron]

Are they hiding round the back?

 

[butchersapron]

Have him

 

[butchersapron]

Don't.

 

[Santino]

Any reports on whether the Aussie fans are singing any more?

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

beauty!

They are eating the England team alive.

 

[butchersapron]

Tell him

 

[embree]

Every English batsman has scored more than every Australian batsman

 

[embree]

All run four, nice one

 

[Dan U]

226-2 at lunch, rather exposes all the guff about the pitch, the conditions are very similar to yesterday.

 

[Lo Siento.]

69 runs for 2 wickets. Honours even for the session, but two more sessions the same and the aussies will be 280 runs behind...

Slow scoring but that's because this pitch requires patience from the batsmen if the fielding side are bowling halfway properly. We didn't need that yesterday because Australia bowled like utter drains

lol Mr.W.Swinton might get some feedback for that.Every Aussie likes to think we will flog the arse off the happless poms and sometimes plans go astray lol,what plan

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

aussies do one now for a bit really?

 

[pennimania]

I actually can hardly stand to listen - it can still go so horribly wrong

(I am so superstitious about it all)
