4th Test: England v Australia at Leeds

[Howsie]

Hussain getting stuck into the ECB for allowing Flintoff and Pietersen to play in the IPL.

Howsie added 3 Minutes and 3 Seconds later...

:laugh

You just have to do it.

Well done Strauss. Good thinking, got Haddin out for a cheap 14. In comes Johnson, hope he makes a 50.

New ball has been taken,lets see if Eng can manage to get a wicket or two here,specially of North,he is batting well,and consistently so far in the series,this is just Day 2,session 2,Aus leading by 220+,they really have plenty of time,they should get a lead of 350-400

 

[King Pietersen]

Lol @ Haddin. Awful shot. Nice to see where learning to pitch the ball up though.......:doh

Johnson to hammer a hundred.

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if we roll Australia out in this session and then get bowled out again before close and lose by an innings. Wouldn't be the first two day Test at Headingley haha.

 

[nikhil_99]

Thats what i was saying..New ball did the trick for Eng,2nd ball of the over and Haddin gone..

 

[piriyanth]

Haddin is injured so can't blame him for not staying in long.

 

[King Pietersen]

Watching that Haddin hook, that is one of the worst shots technically I've seen in Test cricket from a Top 7 for a long time. Makes Ravi Bopara look like Sunil Gavaskar. That's exactly how I'd have looked playing that shot, laughable really.

Surely we can't repeat the first innings "performance"? No, England to score 685 and bowl Australia out in the last session day five

 

[King Pietersen]

Going to need a Botham/Willis-esque effort if we're going to have a chance.

As I'm typing that, Hussain and Atherton mention it

If i'd have bee picked in that Mohammad Zahid game a few weeks ago i'd have played something worse I reckon.

 

[Raj_Aryan]

Johnson can bat a bit,if he supports North well,Aus then can get to 300+lead

This Test match gives me the slightest glimmer of hope;

2nd Test: South Africa v England at Durban, Dec 26-30, 2004 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

But instead of Thorpe and Trescothick we have Bopara, Bell and Cook...

Bob Willis... yeah, fantastic effort that. What was it...8 for 43? Longest run-up in the world! I think most batsmen were half asleep by the time he got to the crease!

Saw this on cricinfo.

Hauritz = Hauricane.
