Australia in England

[aussie1st]

I have heard Warne say Ponting likes to bowl first thus Warne had to change his game plan. Things are looking up for Aus, a few days ago it looked like Australia's Ashes campaign was going down the drain.

Will Mcgrath be in?That is the big question,umlikely,but this could be the decision that wins the Ashes for the poms.Looking forward to a great match!

 

[aussie1st]

Reports are he is a good chance of making it. We won't know until just before the game.

Yup Punter prefers chasing in the 4th innings, rather than setting the target. He said that in an interview on ICC Cricket World.

 

[aussie1st]

Don't know why he would. Aus never have ben great chases just look at the last test. They have the best exponent of a 4th inn pitch in Warne. I don't know why they would want to bat last.

England won the toss and will bat. Brett Lee and Glenn McGrath have both been passed fit and will start today's crucial third Test at Old Trafford. Article http://content.cricinfo.com/engvaus/content/story/215510.html

Lee and McGrath are playing in the third test. Not sure who the other fast bowler is, also England are batting first

Edit: Got beaten

 

[aussie1st]

Just . I was actually going to cricinfo to get some stats and I see McGrath passed fit, guess it must have been updated just then.

McGrath nearly gets Tres with a brillant bouncer. Boy its good to have him back.

 

[ZexyZahid]

McGrath is playing. That's good news.

Tresco dropped off McGirth (blic).
