This isn't on tv is it?

We will get rolled. What's the odds for the middle order to lose 3/5?

 

[jazz]

So it looks like Lee will miss the next test and possibly the whole series

One question is the match going to be shown in india on starcricket.Great match mitchell johnson to prove himself same as hughes.

No they wont show it.

 

[Aditya]

My god not able to see it.Any update of score what is going right now by any english memeber here.

 

[manee]

I recommend that the Aussies watch out for Lucas. He took 12 wickets in his last FC game including 7/24 in one innings.

 

[ajdude]

Oh god, Hughes fails again with the short ball, caught by Alex Wakely, bowled by David Wigley. Watson in at 3; apparently just hit a four.

 

[Aditya]

Yes four thanks for telling hughes fail again but in which cricketer place watson has come.

There are a few changes; Manou for Haddin, Watson for Clarke, McDonald for Ponting, Hussey is captain and Katich is vice. Click here for BBC's commentary if you have Real Player, and here for the scorecard.

I'm glad that Hilfy's not playing, that means that he's a certainy to play in the third test.

 

[evertonfan]

I really do like Hilfenhaus you know. I'd say he's the best bowler in the Australian line-up by far. Love the way he goes about his business too and by that I mean there's none of this macho crap that Siddle tries to pull; he just gets on with his job and that's to bowl quality spells of swing bowling.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Hughes in a real form slump at the moment. Scored all his runs in England too early. :o

Could be in real trouble if Watson scores a ton.

 

[Covvy]

I just hope that Ronald McDonald doesn't go well so he doesn't get selected.

What do you guys think if say Manou gets a triple century or something, shoould he then replace Hughes?

 

[piriyanth]

It's too risky to select Hughes now for the third test match.

Now Katich is gone too.

No it's not. I'd stick with him. He was able to counter the short ball in RSA but just can't do it here. But someone needs to try and help him fix it. He needs to be able to at least play some sort of shots into the leg side.
