Deathside Posted 4 August 2005 Posted 4 August 2005 Hmmm Ian Bell out for 6 now 176-3.Kevin Pieterson in now 149621[/snapback] At least you can watch it
Katy Posted 4 August 2005 Posted 4 August 2005 We are wacking them all over the park - excellent stuff!
Hitesh Posted 4 August 2005 Posted 4 August 2005 316/6 Lost two quick wickets after tea!! Not good! Flintoff was trying to hit everything.
Hitesh Posted 4 August 2005 Posted 4 August 2005 Warne to Giles, OUT: full and on the off, Giles struck on the full and this time the loud shout for lbw is upheld and that's the end of Giles! 342/7
Nationwider Posted 4 August 2005 Posted 4 August 2005 Just watched the highlights. Absolute bonkers. Pietersen needs to go on and get a chuffin' big century soon. Top notch entertainment.
Sparky Posted 4 August 2005 Posted 4 August 2005 the ball of the series ! no not a delivery from warne , THE BALL MCGRATH STOOD ON AND DID HIS ANKLE LIGAMENTS !
Hitesh Posted 4 August 2005 Posted 4 August 2005 Just watched the highlights. Absolute bonkers. Pietersen needs to go on and get a chuffin' big century soon. Top notch entertainment. 149884[/snapback] That was the problem today. No player went on to keep their innings and make a big score. I think that the Aussies will capitalise on the flat condition tomorrow and score quickly. However, England do have the advantage of batting 3rd. Gonna be interesting to see how quickly England can get the openers out.
john_lcfc Posted 4 August 2005 Author Posted 4 August 2005 I doubt if Trescothic will score over 60 in his combined innings. Find another opener.Mick 148737[/snapback] i think england started really well but we needed either flintoff vaghan strauss or trescothic to make a big 150 or so but they didnt so we got a good score instead of a match winning score. Harmison needs to bowl well and we need to take our catches and force the batsman to make mistakes. hopefully they can be bowled out for less than 350 for england to bat well again and post a match winning lead. I still think collingwood should be in for giles but they seem to think a balanced attack is crucial. Come on england
C-man Posted 4 August 2005 Posted 4 August 2005 the ball of the series ! no not a delivery from warne , THE BALL MCGRATH STOOD ON AND DID HIS ANKLE LIGAMENTS ! 149893[/snapback] brilliant sparky mate!
Cobbo Posted 4 August 2005 Posted 4 August 2005 Cracking start, hope the bowlers can build the pressure up on them tomorrow, hope the pitch has a bit more pace and movement.
Leicester_Mad Posted 5 August 2005 Posted 5 August 2005 to be fair our end total wasnt anything. We should be going into the 2nd day still batting Be surprised if the Aussies dont hit 500
Katy Posted 5 August 2005 Posted 5 August 2005 Lets see what happens - the weather forecast is pretty good over the weekend so we cant afford any more cock ups Freddie thought he was still playing in the 20/20 matches the way he was slogging those sixes! Cracking entertainment though, you dont normally see that in test matches particularly against the Aussies.

john_lcfc Posted 5 August 2005 Author Posted 5 August 2005 oh my god last night one of our friends who has a box had and is using it for business purposes had someone drop out so i am going to edgbaston today! leaving in 20 minutes for a fantastic dday of test cricket hopefully. i am a lucky bastard. come on england
Michael Doyle Posted 5 August 2005 Posted 5 August 2005 OK I got the Treso prediction wrong but lets see what he does from here on in. Its no use nearly getting a ton as an opener you have to go on with it. A good knock never the less. Got to get early wickets or the Aussies will settle and it would be great to get more pressure on Pontin and Warne who showed a big sign of frustartion yesterday . May be the Poms are getting to them after all. Get Hayden and Langer cheep and its a game. Well done to Giles I thought he showed great attitude with teh bat and now needs to do it with the ball. Graet days Cricket but I fear we lost to many wickets . MadMick
rossporterlc Posted 5 August 2005 Posted 5 August 2005 i fear a draw is on the cards here, aussies in no rush, they'll surpass our total, just really slowly
Leicester_Mad Posted 5 August 2005 Posted 5 August 2005 not a bad start, ponting was destroying us so to get his wicket was a big bonus. Need one or two quick wickets to fall, cant see it happening though
C-man Posted 5 August 2005 Posted 5 August 2005 That run out is useful. Damien Martyn gone for 20, 118-3
Hitesh Posted 5 August 2005 Posted 5 August 2005 What a lazy runner! Good for england tho! Latest: 166-3
rossporterlc Posted 5 August 2005 Posted 5 August 2005 273-7 Good bye Fat Boy :thumbsup: 150618[/snapback] he is going to get some stick for that dismissal
