5th Test: England vs Australia at the Brit Oval

[ajdude]

I think Clark and Hilfenhaus have been quite tame in this match, particularly Clark.

Well, considering they've bowled like half an over between them in this innings...

 

[Insomniac]

Australia are done for. No rain for the next 2-3 days, England still batting.

If only England played Pakistan directly after this again like in 2005 so we could ruin their fairytale

I hate it when we struggle to get the tail-enders out.

 

[nz0003]

Trott to man up and go nuts, boredom is kicking in.

 

[aussie1st]

Cmon 3 more wickets, our very small chances of winning are diminishing very fast.

 

[piriyanth]

Whaaaa...why Katich for the new ball?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Is that really the new ball he's bowling with??

Lead up to 450. Declare already!

 

[piriyanth]

Oops made a misatke that's not a new ball.

450 up now, we're basically screwed.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Nah, it's the old ball. New ball hasn't been taken.

 

[aussie1st]

England won't declare until Trott gets his 100, so we are better off keeping him on strike.

 

[barmyarmy]

[evertonfan]Australia will easily chase 500 for no wickets either and Strauss and Trott will break their legs.[/evertonfan]

It's good to be alive during an Ashes summer.

The Cricinfo commentators sound.... I can't find a word to describe it.

Hello. I'm baaaaaaaack. Will here. Ponting and his ruddy bloody lip are out in the middle, joined by Clark, then North, then Hussey, then Clarke, then Haddin, then - then the rest. Right. How long will England bat until? They already have a huowwge lead, one which Australia will have to break cricketing history if they're to chase down.

 

[jordox]

Australia are gooooooona win!

 

[blake]

I have hope. Rain will fall.

 

[piriyanth]

This Swann guy is a pretty good batsman.
