4th Test: England v Australia at Leeds

[King Pietersen]

Onions on. Just hope we don't have to bring Broad on anytime soon.

 

[Gilly Fan]

That was a brilliant shot. Hit so crisply. It sounded so good off the bat.

 

[piriyanth]

What a six by Ponting.

 

[karnog]

sense a change. Yep no suprise. See what he can do.

 

[Howsie]

Welcome to the attack :laugh

Ponting looks to be in one of those moods.

 

[King Pietersen]

Why on earth are we bowling so short though? They'll be leading by 200 by the time they bat as many overs as we did. Rubbish bowling after a good start.

Ponting's after everything here.

I know England were bowled out in 34 overs, but Ponting does realise this isn't a 1 dayer doesn't he? Maybe those BLIC07 Test run rates aren't so far off after all.

Ponting looks to be trying to get the teams back to where the where at stumps on day 4 at Cardiff with Aust very much the dominant side.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

50 in 6.2 overs. England took nearly 20 overs to get to that mark.


Ponting has 27 off 18. Who says AC09 is unrealistic?


31 off 19 now. Codemasters were spot on.

Interesting. Didn't Cooley also work with Plunkett's action. Something about getting more bounce. Not too sure. I believe he's gone down the pecking order too. And Jones has been injury prone though i don't think we can blame Cooley for that.

Heres the article England swings as Gibson pulls strings - Cricket - Sport - smh.com.au
His big success was Flintoff and Jones.

Ponting playing an T20 match here. I can't believe how short England are bowling, its suicide against Ponting.

 

[PaulNixon1]

I would have put in Sidebottom i dont know who for but he gets the ball up there and swings it he would of loved bowling on this pitch.

 

[barmyarmy]

Now scoring at 8.2 rpo. Looks like the teams have been playing AC09 too much.

 

[Howsie]

Get Stuart Boad on

 

[karnog]

Get Broad in there!

Honestly i'd give Swann a go. Ponting has that off-spin weakness early into his innings. Look at Singh and then most recent Botha. Onions looking very poor.

 

[Prithvi]

Aussies are rockin' if Barmy army is not playing his music..

So, Colin, just you go and play some music..

 

[piriyanth]

Slap in the face for all those people in the crowd who booed Ponting.
