4th Test: England v Australia at Leeds

[barmyarmy]

I predicting England 230 all out.

 

[OffCutters]

I`m quite happy to see Stuart Clark playing. But is it too much of a risk to not have a specialist spinner?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Hauritz dropped, Clark in!

Predicting England to be still batting at the end of the day.

My prediction that Australia would not be able to bowl England out for sub 200 even once still stands.

England only need two batters against us these days. Our batters will do the rest.

 

[King Pietersen]

Early wicket of Strauss and we're done for. Need Bell and Bopara to stand up and show what they're made of. Guess we're going to need to win at The Oval.

I'm loving this. I'm loving this!

Why are you so pessimistic? Seriously the only two bowlers you have to worry about are Hilfenhaus and Clark, and there is no way that these two can win a test match by themselves. Heck Warne and McGrath couldn't always do it.

Haha classic, our backup keeper even injured. We have a major keeper shortage.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Good move by England to bat first, gives Prior a chance to recover a bit.

Cook, Strauss, Bopara, Bell and Colly. That seems like such a timid batting lineup, with Prior and Broad to follow. Can they win an Ashes test against a bowling attack of Johnson, Siddle, Clark, Hilfenhaus and North?

Cos you've strengthened your bowling and we've weakened our batting. Most our players can get out pretty easily to poor bowlers.

"North can do the job" says Ponting.

:help

I predicting England 230 all out.

Yeah I nearly said England look a better batting side this year, but they're leaving batsmen strewn across the English countryside like cowpats.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Well, I've gone and put Harmy into my Fantasy side at the last moment. Here's hoping he doesn't let me down! Also, Swann in as an allrounder. We'll need it :help

Would anyone like an avatar bet?

I predict that Australia won't win this test.
