Cricket- the sport not the insect

Anyway it's late so Good Night!

It's about 3 am over there? About the time when I wrote my 'moronic' post.

I'll wait for your mea culpa in your afternoon when reality hits you about how out of touch some of your posts really are.

 

[Cyivel]

Haha knew I'd sucker you in with that line.


But yes an LBW that is hitting the stumps is the worst decisions in ages, grow up.

 

[Cyivel]

^ Yeah you'll be waiting a while for that.

Please don't change, I'm looking forward to some more comedy from you over the next couple of months, when things go against Australia, of course.

Anyhoo, Broad is fit to bowl.

Anyhoo, Broad is fit to bowl.

Sure he is...absolute belter of a ball from Swan that dismissed Haddin.

If we can limit the damage to a 50 run lead to England that would be a good result. However, it is more like a 80-90 run lead to England considering that Australia has probably had the best conditions to bat in.

Now Starc is out - I can kiss that hopeful deficit good bye

Well officially fit but yeah I know what you mean

Not going to be easy to bat last

Not going to be easy to bat last

That's why we needed to get at least a 50 run lead. On par or slightly less isn't an even game as England would still be ahead. But how we are looking, England are miles ahead

Soon as Smith got out the rot set in. Pretty silly shot by Smith at that stage of the innings. Did not have to play at it.

He tried to hit the same shot the ball before. It is in his nature, he couldn't help it.

Aussie number 11 is looking better than most of the middle order.

19 year old kid has a bit of West Indian flare with the bat in the way he waves his piece of willow in the follow through of his shots

 

[movingtarget]

So England start bowling short. What are they doing ?

 

[darwin553]

Under 50 now is the deficit

Number 11 top scorer in first two innings, I doubt he will be number 11 for long.

 

[Cyivel]

Hopefully England can keep the lead to under 50.

England need to get this wicket quickly or it could get a lot worse, the way these two are playing, they have hardly played a loose shot. Ashes cricket at it's best.

 

[darwin553]

Great session

Ahh Poms, just when you thought it was going to be easy when you had us 9 for 117 :

 

[movingtarget]

Been a great test so far. Lots of ups and downs.

 

[Alphabet]

Oh my, this is special.

Still, the pitch has really eased up now, England will pile on 400+ and end up winning by a pretty big margin, I'm afraid.

You think so? Brave call

 

[darwin553]

Great Kevin Peiterson 'flamingo' shot by Agar!

 

[Cyivel]

Agar is taking the **** now

 

[darwin553]

Good Hughes is now getting in on the act!

 

[darwin553]

England need to bowl shorter at Agar.

 

[del1962]

As much as I wanted him out, kind of a shame he missed out by 2 runs.
