1st Test: England v Australia

[Howsie]

That's not very likely.

Why's that?

Why's that?

Yeah, it's only another 64 runs. Broad and Swann can score that each.

Hughes gets to 50 there's no stopping the lad to a big ton

Not gonna happen. The man has no idea how to play the short ball. He's as bad as Duminy is at it.

Freddie and Broad will quickly make him their bunny.

lol i've only got the Saffas series to back me up. But i will point out that Hughes made a duck in his first innings. I don't think he played a warm game either. Lol so hopefully his failures are out of his system.

 

[King Pietersen]

That's not very likely.

Why not? Broad's got a Test average of 31 with 3 fifties and 9 FC fifties, and Swann's no flop with the bat either. He's opened for Notts in OD cricket in the past, has 4 FC centuries and batted very nicely against West Indies making an unbeaten 63. If those 2 can stick around for 40 minuntes or so then we could easily get to 400. I reckon we'll get to 385 though tbh.

 

[Howsie]

I'm actually really looking forward to seeing Hughes bat today, I haven't seen that much of him. Just a few clips here and there.

Swann also made an (unbeaten?) 90 odd for Notts in the Twenty20 cup recently, so it won't be too easy for us. Apparently Anderson's been working on his batting too.

But Monty's Monty, nothing expected there.

Monty begs to differ. Look at those textbook back-foot drives. Hundred for Monty today.

He'll be the top scorer of the tail.

 

[bowser]

Can anyone explain why the too and froms used a night watchman to protect 9? Seems a fair lack in the testicular area to me.

 

[King Pietersen]

Broad keeps playing shots like that and we'll get 400.

 

[Flintoff Rocks]

Need a few more of those shots from Broad.

 

[karnog]

lol Pommies. What do u expect? I think we can get Broad with the drive. But the ball needs to swing. And he hits a four.

When do you get back from the snow?

Monday so completely miss the rest of 1st Test not to mention my Raiders. Wish they were on their usual Monday night slot.

Siddle conceded another 4, been a lot more expensive than I thought he would be.

 

[Flintoff Rocks]

Looks like Broad wants to get us to 400 as quickly as possible.
