[Sean]

Next ball was a wide and it was slowed down by Strauss.
They got a single. If Strauss hadnt stopped it, Gilly couldve ran 3.

 

[Imran_The Man!]

Well England getting well and truly tonked,a nd a a potentially good series goes down the pan.

Well done Fletcher. you .....!

 

[Sean]

England had 8 fielders on the boundary for Gilly on that ball to get the record.
Hoggard is mean.

 

[OZGOD]

Fantastic knock, 98 off 56. Misses out on the record but still carnage. And he's not out yet, I hope he doesn't lose concentration.

 

[Sean]

Gilly has 11 balls to break the record for the second fastest hundred.

 

[Sean]

Thats The Second Fastest Century Ever By Adam Craig Gilchrist@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shame I couldn't keep you company, it's 4:30am here though.

Clarke gets 4444444444444444 more, he's been made to look slow by Gilly but he's played a great knock too

 

[Sean]

Partnership: 160 in 19.4 overs.
He has played himself back to form.

[OZGOD]

For those that want a score update.
5/525

How much time you reckon we need to bowl them out?

 

[Sean]

That's Gilly's first defensive shot in....... I dont know. ABout 30 balls?
His second fifty was 17 balls.
PONTING DECLARES!

 

[OZGOD]

Here comes the declaration.

 

[Sean]

We have it now.
2 days and 35 mins.

 

[Sean]

May I please have a 1 hour highlights vid of his whole innings?
Or maybe even his whole innings which lasted only 58 balls.

 

[OZGOD]

Gilly's home crowd are up as one to cheer him off the ground, and Clarke too.

 

[Sean]

Is this about the only time that 3 batsmen have started and finished their innings over 100 in a day?

Gilchrist average has shot up from 48.04 to 48.98
Clarkes is now up to 44.
It was about 40 when he came in.

 

[12thMan]

Aus declares 527-5
Eng needs 557 to win

 

[Sean]

Gilly's home crowd are up as one to cheer him off the ground, and Clarke too.

I think they are onyl clapping Gilly off the ground.

 

[Sean]

11.1 Harmison to Gilchrist, 2 runs, driven to long-on and that's the second-fast Test hundred. A quite brilliant effort, privilege to watch it. The balcony are standing, the crowd are standing - and bowing. Great stuff

 

[Sean]

Lee to open.
25 minutes before stumps.

 

[OZGOD]

May I please have a 1 hour highlights vid of his whole innings?
Or maybe even his whole innings which lasted only 58 balls.

If I can find it, I'll get it for ya mate. I want it too.

 

[Sean]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT WAS WAY TOO HIGH BUT ITS OUT!!!!!Strauss out LBW.

 

[OZGOD]

Strauss is gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1-0! Lee raps the pad. Plumb in front.

 

[Sean]

If I can find it, I'll get it for ya mate. I want it too.

Thanks OG.
I'll be searching all of the torrent sites for it.

 

[12thMan]

Lee strikes. Strauss out
End 0-1

 

[OZGOD]

Australia tails are up, up and away
0.4 Lee to Strauss, OUT, poor judgement, this time, shocking in fact and Australia strike! Lee swung that one in at him again, the ball at full length, and for some inexplicable reason Strauss shoulders arms to that one. Plumb.
AJ Strauss lbw b Lee 0 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

 

[OZGOD]

Thanks OG.
I'll be searching all of the torrent sites for it.

If you find it, let me know too. Anyone know if you can record from Willow? I have access to highlights but don't know how to record.

 

[OZGOD]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT WAS WAY TOO HIGH BUT ITS OUT!!!!!Strauss out LBW.

Richie thought it was plumb though. Didn't look too high at first glance.

 

[Sean]

You probably can but you have to be a real geek at computers to know.
Btw..... You woke up at exactly the right time!

 

[Sean]

Richie thought it was plumb though. Didn't look too high at first glance.

I knew straight away it was too high because it hit his thigh.

 

[kablooee87]

quicker than a cheap tent.....

 

[Sean]

That wass plumb but it was a no-ball.
Probably missing leg stump.

 

[OZGOD]

Poms need to bat KP at 4 and Colly at 5.

 

[Sean]

1/8
549 to win.

 

[Sean]

That was missing leg.

 

[Sean]

5 off that delivery.

 

[Sean]

1/19 at stumps.

Chants of GIIIIIIIIIIILLLLYYY GIIIIIIIIIIIILLLY go around the ground as he walks off.

The day belongs to Adam Gilchrist who has the 2nd fastest century ever in test cricket.
Dont forget Hussey and Clarke who also scored brilliant centuries.
The big question that is on the scorecard is Can Australia Win Back The Ashes?

We will have to wait and see.

 

[OZGOD]

430-odd runs in a day. That's heaps.

 

[Sean]

[Billy]

The weight of runs will probably prove too much psychologically but it's not quite as bleak as it might seem with the pitch flattening out and South Africa's efforts last year to look at. I'm pretty sure Gilly's assault has tipped things over though.
