1st Test: England v Australia

[Cricketdude]

All 4 days of it?

He hasn't really been that bad it's just with he's standards he should have got a couple of wickets at least. No great 2005 bowling spells to speak of.

 

[King Pietersen]

That first spell to get rid of your opener wasn't too bad.

100 up for all 5 frontline bowlers now. Just need to get Colly spanked about abit now.

 

[Ayub 95]

All over Monty was actually bowling well then gives away a 4. Typical England imo

Whoah, nearly every bowler except Collingwood has gone for more than 100 runs each. I lol'ed when I read that stats, Hauritz outperformed both your spinners put together for bowling. That's absolute rubbish. Chuck a McGain why don't ya'.

Difference is that none of our bowlers have been going at 6 rpo

 

[Mercules]

Your opinion, which in my opinion, stinks. A born match-winner and actually makes cricket look good.

Fair enough, I've just never seen him win a match.

 

[evertonfan]

You know you're in trouble when your bowlers score more hundreds than your batsmen. Quality.

And about Flintoff; I too am perplexed by this match winner myth. Since 2005 we have only won 2 Tests with Flintoff in the team. Mumbai in 2006 and The Oval last year. That's not match winning stuff really.

 

[King Pietersen]

This is where we needed Ian Bell in the side. He wouldn't have thrown his wicket away once he'd got a start.......

Botham just said England's momentum would dissappear if they lose this game. Which momentum would that be? They get much momentum from being slapped around by every Australian batsman bar 1?

No one's gone for 6rpo in the Australian lineup. Closest is Kato at 5.50 but he's only bowled two overs.

Anyone got a weather forecast?

Anyone got a weather forecast?

Given that we're in the shite, I reckon it'll be 40 degrees from now till Wednesday.

 

[Howsie]

Haddin is looking really good out there. I know there is no pressure on him or anything but this type of innings is why I rate him higher then Matt Prior.

 

[King Pietersen]

Does it matter Joe? We'll get bowled out for 50 so it could rain for the rest of today and half of tomorrow and we'd still lose.

 

[evertonfan]

Tbh Howsie, I rate everyone in the Aussie team better than everyone in the England team. Seriously, they are all just miles ahead of our players.

 

[Leicester Fox]

Cook will save us like he did at Galle. Just a bit of rain to help will be nice.
