8th - 12th July: England vs Australia [1st Test]

[Therbs]

Highly impressive batting performance from England here. A lead of 100+ is massive on a poor pitch...although, looking at the Soakers game, anything can happen.

and often does. After a session of Special Strong Better at the Red Oak Beer Cafe I'll be in fine form on Day 3. A few Belgian Pale Ales helps the cause as well.

 

[mattfb]

We need a hattrick...

 

[Left_Hander]

I dropped a catch and then took one the next over.

We need a hattrick...

This.

 

[Jaztheman]

I was failing to make any runs at one point. Glad I've started getting some runs now.

Awesome innings by Maney but what an innings by Ledzep. Definitely in control so far.

It didn't look convincing and a few words were said by Jaztheman as he left the field. Australia strike a bit of luck but they'll need a lot more if they are to get back into this match.

Well,the Aussies are missing a direly needed spinner to tie up an end.(ME)

An even session there with England's last pair adding a few runs and treva with the early wicket, but Feelin Blue? and Big Man have looked solid. Australia really need big scores from both the set batsmen because they still trail by 104 runs. Big session for Australia coming up after lunch.

 

[Insomniac]

Wow, English bowlers lacking penetration in Cricsim and in real life.

This is very realistic, we don't need sohum's simulator

That's the end of the afternoon session and a good one for Australia. They have finally got past the English first innings total with just the two wickets down. Batting last on this pitch will be difficult, so any target above 150 could prove difficult to chase. This game could go any way...

 

[blake]

Back into a form after a quacker in the first innings. Me and the Man are putting on a great partnership here, hopefully BM can go on for a century and I can push on with my innings. A solid knock for me on a poor pitch. Hopefully I won't choke before my 50.

 

[Skater]

Still going good. I surely can't be dropped after this!
