England in Australia

[Cricketman]

eng gettin pwnd.

'nuff said.


Predicting a 10-100+ for mcgrath, but he's awfully unlucky..>.<

Warne gets one at last, it's his bunny too! Good slider deceives Bell and traps him in front. Cook is looking good though, he won't be out hooking like Strauss.

They make a good point on the commentary. What is Collingwood doing batting at 4? He's no better than a number 6 really and the way he's playing Clarke doesn't inspire much confidence.
Billy Bowden's baromatic elbow aside this game is gone and we've got to think how we can strengthen both the batting and bowling in Adelaide. Colly doesn't deserve to be dropped just yet but KP should be coming in above him. Apart from that we need to drop Anderson for Panesar and book Harmy some private sessions with Troy Cooley! (think he'd mind helping us out?)

Before Ponting decided to bat again, I couldn't think of many positives, but following that decision, I am quite upbeat to be honest.

What exactly are you upbeat about as far as England go?

If every England fan on here digs into their pocket he might...

Geez!!! The cracks and fissures on the Gabba pitch are as wide as the Grand Canyon.
Don't want to hear the Aussies whine about dustbowls in Mumbai again.

 

[rickyp]

for those England optimists. Tomorrows forecast has the possibility for thunderstorms..... That could make the game very interesting

lol, warne just said to cook. Its a kookaburra mate, regular size

Good to see sledging still alive.

Whats that Billy done now?

 

[aussie1st]

English are looking quite comfortable now, Collingwood will be a handful to get out now that he is in and KP looks like hes coming out of his shell. Lee hasn't been bowling too well at all, hasn't used the cracks like Clark and McGrath have.

 

[angryangy]

KP looks like he's coming out of his shell, true, but that could be his undoing. Collingwood is causing all kinds of problems for England as they surely would have dropped him if he didn't produce this.

 

[aussie1st]

Doesn't look like it so far, KP being taking Warne apart hitting him all over the place.
Collingwood's knock is the fighting spirit he has, even if he didn't make there isn't much England could do unless they want to bring Joyce in.

 

[rickyp]

kp and coll batting really well atm, hopefully they will set up some sort of a challenge. GET MCGRATH BACK ON!

edit: the must have heard me

 

[aussie1st]

I reckon they need to switch Warne around as the cracks McGrath used on day 2/3 are being wasted as they aren't doing too much for Warne.

Edit: Ouch poor Collingwood great bowling by Warne there looked like Collingwood was going for that ondrive again but didn't get to the pitch of it.

Warneyyyyyy.

Wicket. Trust him. Needed that
