You just cant beat seeing the worlds 'BEST' bowler clutching at straws and having to bowl sooo defensive as to aim for the wee bit of rough!! Yeah I agree he was trying to frustrate him out rather than use his brains. His record speaks for itself that he is a better bowler than that. Kind of like the English bowlers now, they thought the Aussies would be all out before lunch today with 3 wickets early, silly silly. So at 3 for 236 the "GREAT" English bowlers gave up altogether and resorted to using Pieterson (who has captured the great total of "1" wicket in his Test career).

Ashley (butter fingers) Giles dropped Ponting (not an easy catch) and what do you think he said when Ponting made his 100 f%#& not a happy chap. lol lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeAussieGuy Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 At 6 for 471 seems like a draw on the cards.

MikeAussieGuy Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Well Euan my friend perhaps it is a good that you're more astute than others. You didn't jump on the bandwagon like others with the 1st Innings high score, (which the Aussies got except for 30 odd runs anyway). Here this morning at 4 for 70, the last 3 top order batsmen falling for 14, uhuh 14, (with Warney producing another remarkable ball to dismiss Pieterson around his legs) it will be a tough day batting. A draw seems the result but 2 more quick wickets before lunch and that paltry 100 run lead so far wont be enough for the Aussies to go 2-0.

Oh i wondered how long it would take lol.......19 runs in 90 mins!! at less than one an over makes staying up till 2am really worth while...Ohhhh yes NOT Mind you at least its not turned out to be a boring draw.

MikeAussieGuy Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Got to agree with you Stevie, the 1st Test was boring this one is, other than the 1st day, a ripper. BTW 5 for 77 now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayB Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Well the fat lady isn?t singing yet but she?s warming up her arias Run rate for an Australian win is climbing We need England out in the next 4 or 5 overs then it?s game on Would there be a final twist if Australia lose too many wickets too quickly going for the win :shock: Excellent game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly I would rather see the Aussies go for it and hit out, [lay as a one dayer!! If they lose in the effort then sh** happens, good luck to the POMS, but it would sure make for an exciting afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiaranM Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Would there be a final twist if Australia lose too many wickets too quickly going for the win :shock: yeah especially facing the "KING of SPIN" Giles on the last day ..... whatever happened to that Monty bloke who used to bowl the occassional over or two for England 55555555555555555555555 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayB Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Did I see an English post come and go? :roll: 24.6 Flintoff to Clarke, 7 runs, this time Clarke finds the gap to Pietersen's right and Hoggard chases ... he throws to Pietersen who then flings the ball at the striker's stumps ... the ball hits the stumps and from there to the boundary. What on earth was he thinking of ... there was no chance of a run-out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiaranM Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hussey sweeps the hapless Giles through mid-wicket for four. Clarke then trots down the pitch and scoops the ball over the infield for one. Six from the over and we are nearly out of our misery folks...folks?...folks?...anybody there? 143-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
