Strauss on his way with 4 1st ball thru covers.

Low full toss. lee up to 91mph!
 
4 more 2nd ball!

Eng 8/0

At this rate scores will be level tonite! lol
 
Another poor delivery from Lee, wide and short, deflected to the cover boundary for 4 again
 
Another poor game here for Lee and he could be dropped?
 
Argh!
11 off that over.
Why dont they open with Pidge?
Binga shouldnt open first over.

They wont drop him because they want him to be the spearhead of the attack after Mcgrath retires.
He needs a talk from Ponting or Mcgrath.
To tell him he needs to get his line right and not try and bowl too fast.
Just try to get it on a good length and dont bowl too many bouncers and full half volleys.
 
Good first over from Pidge but ruins it with a boundary last ball. 4 off the over.
 
4 runs off the last over and it is 0/15.
I'm sorry if I am pissing people off but I am a diehard fan and I get angry when we play bad.
 
Close call, top edged by Cook just past Hussey.

Spearhead?

He needs to perform 1st, i can see him been dropped for johnson or Tait if he doesnt get it right in perth.

Lee needs to drag his length back half a yard as hes bowling to full. Slightly back of length will still skid onto batsmen with bounce in this wicket.

Who did you **** off?
 
Haha!
Bill Lawry getting bloody exciting with "Got him!"
Great fielding by Roy. It would be out if there was one hand one bounce.
 
Awesome save from Symmo. Still doesn't make up for his batting though.
 
Sean its fine!

I like passionate fans! Shows your not happy with medocrity!
 
Better bowling from Binga that over, 0/16.

Didn't even realise you were angry mate. :D
 
I dont know if its anger.
Probably more frustration at our terrible bowling.
Well... terrible bowling from Lee.
 
Wickets. We need wickets. Straussy's one would be good.

Terrible bowling from Lee is standard. It's when he bowls well that it's a surprise (eg Adelaide 2nd innings).
 
Anyone know if Strauss was born in Jaapieland or in Pomland?
 
Bang! Shot of the Eng inns

Cook slaps short ball from lee for 4
 
Too short from Lee.
He is getting carried away from that top edge before.
Punished.
Punished again!
Bloody hell Lee!
 
England racing to 0/28, Lee getting punished again.
 
And he does it again! Lee gets pulled to the boundary again. 0/32.
 
England are making a statement of intent here.
 
Brilliant delivery by Lee.
Perfect line.
Stop the bouncer crap and bowl around there.
 
Better end to over from Lee.

Eng 34/0 from just 5 overs.
 
England going at nearly 7 an over!
Give Binga one more over then bring Warne on.
 
I would bring Clark on before Warney. Give Warney the last 8 overs of the day.
 
Gooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeee McGrath strikes with the new ball, caught in the slips. Cook gone for 15. 1-36
 
We needed that wicket, even if just for psychological purposes. Cook caught fishing outside offstump again.
 
Here comes Bell. I changed my mind, we should bring Warney on now I think, with Bell at the crease.
 
Good line and length from Lee, that. If he can do that 5 times in a row he might get lucky.
 
Bell gone for a duck!

A ripper from Lee!

37/2 and game on!
 
Bell gone for a duck! Lee strikes again after getting pummelled earlier.
 
Bit early for Binga to look smug, early days yet.
 
Got it back.

Paul Collingwood strides in
6.6 Lee to Bell, OUT, ooh, that's the one Lee was aiming for last ball - just squaring Bell up nicely and he gets a thin edge on that as it feathers through to Gilchrist. This is a great response from Australia and they have two wickets in quick succession, Bell departing for a duck
IR Bell c wicket-keeperGilchrist b Lee 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Do you live in oz? Or are you from oz?
Meanwhile off topic.
Victoria has gotten rain for the first time in about 2-3 weeks!
WOo!
 
I don't mind Lee being expensive as long as takes wickets.
 
Thats why I like this Aussie team no matter what they keep on coming back at you.

I'm from Sydney originally, but I'm living in Boston at the moment. I'm watching this via a Willow feed. It's 4:30am here mate. :P
 
If we can get one more wicket before stumps that would really swing the advantage back to us.
 
Great fielding there, saved a 4 after Collywobble dug out a yorker which would have done straight on.
 
Aussie boys have their tails up.
Woo!
Lee has his tail up.
Collingwood is due for a failure.
Well bowled yorker. 151.1kph's that ball.
 
Sean. said:
Did you pay for the Willow feed?
Is it any good?
Click to expand...

It's pretty shyte but it's better than nothing. I'm getting about 400kbps. Cost me $99 US for the series. But I wasn't going to miss this series for the world.
 
Finally Lee is bowling a good length.
This is the Lee that we saw last summer against the Windies and the Saffers.

I'm guessin that it buffers alot. It must suck.
Do you have nine coverage or Sky?

It doesn't buffer that much as I've got 12Mbps cable here. It's more that it goes off to another channel after a pre-determined time (eg 4:30am US time) and they have to switch the cricket back on).

Re the commentary, I can choose both. I usually listen to Nine, but I started listening to Sky on Day 5 of the Adelaide Test. It was good to hear Beefy, Athers, Nasser and co slitting their wrists. :)))

Aus 42/2 - Trial by 202 runs...

We will get 8 wickets for 2 runs and they will have to follow on.
In my state granny, the opposition lost 6 wickets for 2.
But I guess this is the ashes, not a State Grand Final.
