The Ashes 2010/11

[El Sueno]

Marvellous stuff. Still yet to see how a decent side can bat on this wicket but it won't be long now! Gutted I'm back to work tomorrow, last test n' all... I'm really gonna miss this when it's gone.

 

[Red Faction]

love it!!

 

[Santino]

could we hang fire on overall judgment before we bat please? Pitch is still green and that

No. I refuse to hang my fire.

Besides, the sun is coming out.

 

[embree]

Their greatest achievement so far in this match has been leaving the ball.

Absolutely. Balls that were being left are now being edged by the tail. Or wildly slashed at by whatever Smith is

 

[TrippyLondoner]

i'd be disgraced if i was an aussie. so ashamed.

 

[Santino]

Johnson seems to have turned down two singles to hog the strike.

Johnson seems to have turned down two singles to hog the strike.

he's by far the better batsman out there though

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

i'd be disgraced if i was an aussie. so ashamed.

^^^this should be a sticky

 

[embree]

Jesus, bowl at the top of off stump

 

[embree]

utter utter filth from England here. Just bowl at the fucking stumps

 

[twentythreedom]

ha! just bowl anywhere

 

[embree]

oh, a yorker at the stumps. Why didn't I think of that?

 

[embree]

Absolute rubbish, no thought employed there at all. Rabbits in and barely any yorkers bowled at Hilfenhaus at all

 

[shagnasty]

You lads all gone to bed ,i go away from my keyboard for an hour or so and everybodies gone quite

 

[embree]

still here, they're enjoying themselves out there aren't they? The pitch doesn't look very threatening at all. Were the Australian top order paying it a bit too much respect? They spent the first day barely playing any shots at all and Strauss and Cook are filling their boots. Mind you, we bowled better on it (until the last couple of wickets)

 

[embree]

David Hasselhoff's at the Test match!

 

[embree]

The Hoff has just carted Shane Warne over extra cover. Glenn McGrath at short leg watches in admiration.

I'm not making this up

 

[embree]

Beautiful pulling and driving from Andrew Strauss

 

[shagnasty]

I remember back in 1973 joe frazer came to fight joe bugner at earls court ,a fight i went to ,he watched the cricket because that was all the day time telly there was he couldn't get on with it ,so unusual for americans to watch cricket

 

[embree]

follow on avoided

 

[embree]

well that was disappointing. Lovely timing all the way through before playing down completely the wrong line. Arse.

 

[embree]

hmmm

 

[embree]

I'm getting the idea even Johnson doesn't know what he's going to bowl next

 

[embree]

and there's the inevitable kamikaze Pietersen run

 

[shagnasty]

I like david hasselhoffs t shirt don't hassel the hoff

 

[embree]

Welcome to Test cricket Michael Beer - driven for four first ball by KP

 

[shagnasty]

He suffers what i did at his age male pattern baldness .also he is not very impressive

 

[embree]

Can he live up to the standards set by XDo?

 

[embree]

Oh dear, no excuses for overstepping that far as a spinner

 

[shagnasty]

Def a no ball
