The Ashes 2010/11

[a_chap]

49 for no loss. I'm off to bed so that the wickets can start to fall.

 

[Santino]

Stumped

 

[butchersapron]

Gone, off you go

 

[butchersapron]

Watch 'em tumble now,. Well done a_chap

 

[embree]

Run out when you still trail by 350 runs in your second innings. That's very sensible

 

[butchersapron]

Here we go

 

[embree]

Was Watson trying to save Hughes' Test career by running him out before he got the chance to get himself out?

He was showing Anderson how to really support your teammates.

 

[embree]

Anyway, wake up everyone, Ponting's last test innings in progress

[embree]

Australia had one of their top three run out in the decisive innings of 1986/87, 2005 and 2009

 

[embree]

That one shaped in after Ponting left it didn't it?

 

[Kaye]

Fuck me; I missed it as I was feeding the baby. It sounded flat (the stream stopped; I was listening to R5LSX with Boycott saying it's so flat they should score 1950 runs) and I assumed I was coming back to nothing - and Ponting is in!!

 

[embree]

Harris has a stress fracture - only nine wickets needed to win?

 

[Kaye]

No way he doesn't bat though.

 

[embree]

No way he doesn't bat though.

Well he hasn't batted so far so I doubt it'll make any difference either way

 

[Santino]

No point in him coming out if Australia are still 200 or 300 behind with days of play remaining.

 

[Kaye]

In the Ashes, a batsmen with a broken leg would have a go, wouldn't they? I like the romantic notion that the answer is yes.

 

[embree]

Either way he won't be at Sydney, so they'll have to find someone else who isn't quite as good as their current stellar attack

 

[butchersapron]

It's a wide field. All sorts of options open up.

 

[embree]

Jimmy's getting it swinging

 

[embree]

Shane Warne writing a message in the sky to, well, could be anyone really

Or is it Nigel Farage?

 

[Kaye]

Either way he won't be at Sydney, so they'll have to find someone else who isn't quite as good as their current stellar attack

If Sydney matters (beyond the difference of retaining/ winning) we have real problems.

 

[butchersapron]

Its Johnathon king raping boys which i didn't see.

I'll take one more down at stumps.

 

[embree]

Yeah, keep leaving those Rickey

 

[Kaye]

Yeah, keep leaving those Rickey

Quite

 

[Santino]

Ponting has passed 100 runs for the series.

Seriously? That's one of the most embarrassing things I've ever read. For the reference of anyone, this is BA trying to get the upper hand on me because I once worked for Jonathan King, and I just made him feel like an idiot on pm. Anyway, I am/ was flimsier. Happy to carry on contributing like I have been. Happy to be fucked off as well. You know how it goes. However, can we get on with the cricket please?

 

[Kaye]

I'd rather he just called me a cunt or something, but he maybe thinks that is more hard hitting.

 

[Kaye]

"I'm so angry that you posted some things 5 or 6 years ago that I'm going to post an obscure reference to someone you once worked for and, this is serious "I will grass you up in the morning"" (the latter quote is real).
