1st Test: England v Australia

[RoboRocks]

The captain has listened.

 

[King Pietersen]

There ya go Matt (Y) Desperately need a wicket if we're going to have a chance of keeping them under 800.

 

[karnog]

Get Anderson and Broad in.

EDIT: Good ball. Bit worrying its a bit two paced alreadt. Whoever gets the lead after the first innings i think has the match.

 

[Fatal Shot]

Ponting is about to become only the third palyer ever to score 11,000 Test runs. Amazing feat this.

 

[Magz]

If Ponting had got out there I would have laughed my head off.

There's that positive english spirit in action again!

Almost got Punter first ball! Maybe you should have kept the spinners going... haha.

Feelin Blue? added 0 Minutes and 52 Seconds later...

Not if we wind up losing the game by 3 runs

At this rate it could come down to that!

Broad is bowling solid atm.

 

[Howsie]

Congrats on 11,000 runs Mr. Ponting.

That first ball kept very low, interesting.

 

[RoboRocks]

Mate if Australia get past Englands score it'll be stumps on day 3 and a draw fo sure

Knowing the Aussies. They would probably make a declaration and go for the win. England, on the other hand, wouldn't.

 

[thewiseguy]

and he brings it up with the pull shot!

 

[mattfb]

Well done Punter! What a better way to get it then via a trademark pull shot?

 

[RoboRocks]

Well played Ricky Ponting. One of the best batsmen of the decade, no doubt.

 

[thewiseguy]

someone tell monty he's dreaming

 

[King Pietersen]

11k up for Punter, heck of a career that. I'm hoping Tendulkar stays ahead of him at the end of their careers though, prefer him as a player. He's not Australian.

First time Panesar's looked remotely dangerous isn't it? Looks as rubbish as I thought he would.

 

[Howsie]

Panesar spun the ball.
