no i didnt check that from yours .frankly speaking i didnt check everyone's story in the past couple of weeks coz of college work just checked surendar's and m_vaughan's whenever i got time . But i will check all stories now and will check the still to bat from your as well. I saw the still to bat in the Ashes so i thought to give a give.

Good fightback by Australia but bad light stops play.​

​

After smashing a ton Hayden was not going to stop and he continued his flow of runs in style. Hayden was scoring runs at a faster rate now and Australia are in a good position but remember they were in trouble at 212/4. Australia are going along nicely with Hayden smashing the bowlers for runs and Clarke playing a good supporting role and helping Australia to get a good partnership at this stage just when they were needing one. Hayden was confident after scoring his century and now he was playing his shots with perfect timing . He smashed a huge six on the offside off the bowling of Hoggard and then the pressure was right on Vaughan .

Hayden smashing the bolwers

Hayden and Clarke were doing the job nicely for Australia .The partnership was building and the bowlers were under pressure as they needed a wicket to break this partnership . Hayden was still playing his shots and Clarke was dealing in singles and then hittting the odd boundaries at regular intervals. Flintoff was doing his best to break this partnership . He bowled a shot ball to Hayden who went for the hook shot only managing to get the top edge and got the crowd excited as Collingwood covered good ground running in from fine leg and made a good attempt in the end but the ball landed in front of him and Hayden was lucky to survive again. It was really frustrating for England as the batsman who was lucky to survive on 0 is now the top scorer of the innings.

More frustration for England

Just when things were looking good for Australia the lights were not good. The sun was setting and the batsmen were also finding it difficult to see the ball . Both the umpires checked the lights with the light meter and then they came to a decision to offer lights to the batsmen . The batsmen accepted the lights and umpires removed the bails and called the end of the day's play. Australia are really in a good position with 328/4 and this partnership has already added over 100 runs for the 5th wicket . Only 85 overs were bowled in the days play as bad light stops the day's play. Hayden remained not out on 147 and Clarke is still batting on 43 and is playing slowly as the situation is demanding.

I would like to say one thing mate, that bad light looks super cool. EA should feel ashamed


Tremendous update aswell.

Love the colour on those pics there Gamer really realistic and great quality.

As for the match, well Australia have really put their foot down and are in a very commanding position. anything around 550-600, for me puts the match safe for Australia.

That is super cool your update looks finomenal

 

[plympilgrim]

wow amazin work as ever gamer, the aussies should score 500+ here

 

[Pakistani Army]

Absoloutly breathtaking work Gamer.....Your work is blowing me away....

 

[Leicester Fox]

this is where we should have played the extra bowlers. England will draw here as they have loads of strength in depth in their batting and will score big. Broad should be in next time

 

[surendar]

Aussies shd look for 450-500 and declare! They are very comfortable atm.

 

[m_vaughan]

Aussies had a good day overall. Another 100 runs will put them in a very dominant position.

Good partnership here, got us back in the box seat now.

Matty Hayden is on fire. Which reminds me that the Australian camp needs an extinguisher.

Excellent presentation as always. Bad light stopping play - now that is an interesting concept EA should think about.

 

[mattfb]

awsoume pres gamer, love the bad light thingy.
