England in Australia

[aussie1st]

Well he'll have enough time to rest off as the pacemen should take up about an hour or two so Warne may only bowl one or two wickets. Looks like Clark is in his hit mood today.

Why does england bother picking mahmood when flintoff doesnt want to let him bowl.
Just gave mahmood 1 over with the fairly new ball he looked dangerous with some nice inswing but took him off already.

Only time he gives mahmood a bowl is when gilly is in an smashing people around.

edit haha spoke too soon harmison only got 1 over so mahmood could swap ends.

 

[aussie1st]

Well look who just got a wicket
Good knock from Clark, sad to see him get out as Warne needs a miracle now.

How could Clark do that to Warney. the stage is set for a fairytale ending. McGrath helping Warney to his hundred. Come on guys!!!

 

[aussie1st]

Not enough faith in McGrath there, should have stayed in his crease and did more of those slog sweeps.

 

[Iron-Haggis]

Selfish by Warney, cost McGrath any chance of his maiden Test match century.

 

[irottev]

Damn, he gave his wicket away really. Kinda had to but yeah, should of showed faith.

Monty gets a consolation wicket for some poor bowling.

Oh well, the 99 is a good story anyway.

 

[aussie1st]

First English wicket down, 9 to go and it's Lee who gets it. Hes looked much better in these last 2 test.

Tea... England is 43 for 1 off 12 overs. Strauss is not out 14 and Bell is on 23. England still trails by 59 runs.

 

[aussie1st]

Clark finally gets his man in Strauss, should have had him before tea but oh well made it even harder not to give this one out.

Wont suprise me if mcgrath doesnt get a single wicket this innings seems to be bowling a fraction too slow giving batsmen enough time to avoid nicking it.
He normally bowls between 128 -135.
At the moment hes mainly 120-127

 

[aussie1st]

Poor shot there from Bell no way he should have been playing that but oh well we're take it.

Yea true although if he can get at the tail surely he can grab one from there.

 

[Ponting_14]

3 down now... Yes!!! Come on!!!

Colly in now... Warney will love that

 

[Sman-21]

hes picked up his pace now an bowling in his proper 133's :
guess it just takes the old guy longer to warm up.

KP looks less dominant with the walking down the crease compared with the 1st inns. It's been very good bowling and fielding to keep pressure on the English.
