England in Australia

[aussie1st]

Lol, although to kill it McGrath is smarter than that he would have said 3-0

 

[MUFC1987]

There wasn't a lot wrong with that.....

Hahah, Billy Bowden... what a bloke.

Up goes the fin!--- Noooooooo, his just scratching his nose!

 

[gamerkid22]

Ponting playing well and surely score a big one here....Flintoff will have to get a breakthrough here

 

[aussie1st]

He did shake his head first at least but hmmm scratching straight after an LBW appeal can cause a bit of a heart attack.

Good to see that we're playing bowler rotations off the field again :

And yet still not approaching a reasonable over rate

 

[aussie1st]

Surprised we haven't questioned why they are going off or why the umpires haven't.
Interesting Bell on instead of Collingwood, would have thought Collinwood was a better bowler than Bell.

 

[gamerkid22]

Yes collingwood is a better bowler than Bell and straight away Bell was smashed for 2 boundaries ....Ponting into the 90's

 

[aussie1st]

Hoggard onto bowl now, not much quicker than Bell but more accuracy at least. Apart from his first ball the rest have kept Ponting quiet which puts pressure on Ponting.

CONGRATS RICKY PONTING!!!!!! FIRST CENTURY OF THE 2006/07 ASHES.

@ Mannee, Johnson wasnt ever in the test team, so he was never dropped

 

[RoboRocks]

Well to think we have only Australia 3 down and its 1 hour until the end of the day.

 

[aussie1st]

Congrats Punter great knock, yet another captains knock. We are now also seeing what we missed out on in the last Ashes with Hussey there now. This is exactly what we need with our lower order batsmen able to lift the tempo tomorrow.

i reckon mahmood would have got much more out of this pitch than anderson

 

[aussie1st]

I would say so, this pitch is more for the hit the pitch type bowler like Flintoff but the English were never going to take a punt on an attacking bowler.

 

[RoboRocks]

He would of added to our batting too.
Maybe then Panesar would have been selected.
