Story Jake's English tour to Australia

[Jakester1288]

I will be looking to continue this today.

cool mate....how the hell do u get all these edges,i bowl for 30 overs odd on C07 for ps2 and would never get an edge.KUTGW

It's on 5 star, which I've only played 3 times.

ITSTL that Ponting's in his ODI outfit.

I couldn't find any others.

Go to Cricinfo, they'd have stacks of pics imo.

I'll check it out.

 

[Jakester1288]

I might take a while in between this, really busy atm.

Can't do any tomorrow and probably none through the week either.

 

[Jakester1288]

I should be starting up again in less than an hour.

Lunch:
Australia
3/131 after 27 overs
Jaques 43
Plunkett 2/39

Jake McDonald: After a great start from Australia, they lost 3 wickets for 36, thanks to some great swing bowling from Plunkett and a good spell from Hoggard. Harmison was unlucky, he deserved a wicket, and picked one up off a no ball.

Nathan Spinks: It's the lunch interval, we will be back in 40 minutes.

Michael Hussey survives until lunch.

36.5 - Giles to Clarke - dropped! Good delivery from Giles, on a length, spinning away, Clarke got the edge but the slip fieldsman couldn't hold on. England's fielding has been poor today.

Jakester1288 added 11 Minutes and 25 Seconds later...

39.2 - Plunkett to Clarke - OUT! Pitches right up there, and a match saving partnership comes to an end. Clarke tryed to drive after being dried up for runs, and found the edge. Plunkett has 3, and Australia are reeling, and relying on Hussey to post a big score here. If Symonds can survive until tea, he may be able to have a dash at the end. It's 4/189.

The English team roar in delight at the dismissal of Michael Clarke.

 

[Spinksy]

Interesting to see Haydos out there with Pup.... where's Hussey?

 

[Jakester1288]

46.6 - Giles to Symonds - OUT! Symonds try's to slam one over midwicket, resulting in him being bowled. Haddin needs to support Hussey here, and take Australia to 300+. Australia is 5/235.

Symonds leg stump is knocked out of the ground

Jakester1288 added 18 Minutes and 48 Seconds later...

51.6 - Hoggard to Hussey - 1 run - 50! Lovely batting from Hussey, he has held the Australians innings together today. He has blocked the majority of the deliveries, because 40 of his 50 runs have come from fours.

Michael Hussey raises his bat to the crowd upon his 50.

Jakester1288 added 5 Minutes and 56 Seconds later...

Tea interval:
Australia 5/243
Hussey 50* (102)
Haddin 0* (4)

Jake McDonald: Lovely batting from Hussey, surviving through the whole session, while wickets have fallen around him. He is playing the rock role, and while Haddin is getting his eye in, I doubt he will play any rash strokes or try to lift the scoring rate. Australia is already going along at 4.67, which would be good in an ODI!

Nathan Spinks: We will be back with you in half an hour.

I hope you know that it was Symonds off stump getting knocked out in that picture, not leg.

It is his leg stump. Look again. Right handed batsmen.

 

[Spinksy]

Look at where the michrophones are though.......

Someone back me up here please.

Just imagine you are the bowler. Have a look and see what stump you have taken out.

 

[Ollie_H]

Unless he has just played the switch hit that is his leg stump being taken out..

I don't find it boring. I have never bowled on 5 star before, so it will definitely be a challenge for me. I should be able to bowl them out under 200 or 300, so if I can stack on another 100+ runs, I will have a really good start to the match. And if it does become a bit too boring, I can always autoplay a few overs.
