[Amjid Javed]

flintoff gone plumb lbw for 102 to tait... giles in now

[mulan]

444/6

Has been a long time since 4 Aus bowlers got centuries in the same innings....

 

[mulan]

450/7

Jones goes...Will be good for England to have a bowl at the Aus for a session today....

 

[mulan]

450/8

Giles gone

 

[alghazzali]

Hamrison gone 454/9

 

[mulan]

476/9

Hoggard and Jones and denying the Aus this last wicket...Must be irritating the living daylights out of them....

 

[mulan]

477 all out. Finally. Unless England make some early inroads, this match seems headed for another draw...

 

[mulan]

Langer and Hayden opening

34 overs remaining in the day

 

[Amjid Javed]

Australia 13/0 latest...

 

[Shayan]

Samit Patel is on the field

 

[MIG]

What Ponting sees on his laptop today.....

 

[Shayan]

you should email that to channel 4

 

[Shayan]

Hayden gone.. lbw Hoggard

 

[Billy]

This is what I like about Jones.

He's cut 5 or so mph off his pace and tried to be more accurate and it's paid off.

 

[Shayan]

Martyn gone.. lbw hoggard

 

[Shayan]

looks like Aleem Dar might have got one wrong. Martyn looked like he hit it.

 

[shabbu1]

Martyn unlucky there, he got an inside edge onto his pads.

 

[Shayan]

22-3

 

[Billy]

I would like to thank all Pakistanis for Aleem Dar's wonderful contribution so far in this session.

 

[shabbu1]

Jones is getting some late swing, looking dangerous here...

 

[ZM]

Ponting and martyn were both unlucky
both had edges onto pad, so score wouldve been 43-1

 

[Shayan_Sohail]

The aussies deserve this, bad decisions have mostly favoured the Aussies and they have accepted them.

Now watch how the Aussies come asking for introducing technology.

 

[Monsee]

Hear Hear...the hypocrites are coming to their end

They always said "Oh it's the same for both sides", when everyone knew it's NOT!

Now is the payback time

 

[DM]

Australia getting killed.

I want England to win this series so that we can chop them down to earth when Irshad, Yasir Ali, Akhtar and Sami destroy them

 

[Shayan_Sohail]

Outtt!

 

[Shayan_Sohail]

Langer gone

 

[Pathan007]

hey was katich DROPPED or what?

 

[Shayan]

Katich dropped. Tough chance at short leg for Bell. Needed to stick.

 

[Shayan_Sohail]

hey was katich DROPPED or what?

I think it was a very hard chance.

 

[Shayan]

Australia getting killed.

I want England to win this series so that we can chop them down to earth when Irshad, Yasir Ali, Akhtar and Sami destroy them

seems a bit optimistic.....

 

[Pathan007]

Katich dropped. Tough chance at short leg for Bell. Needed to stick.

was it catchable? or was it tooooooooo much difficult to hold on?

 

[Billy]

He did amazingly well to even get his finger tips to it.

 

[MIG]

I would like to thank all Pakistanis for Aleem Dar's wonderful contribution so far in this session.

Hey how about returning the favour when u visit Pakistan this year ?

Anyway, Aleem Dar may have got one wrong but some of his other decisions speak of greatness to come - esp his no balling Lee when he thought he had a wicket - loved the expression changing on the faces of players as they realized that it was a no ball! Lets all raise one for Aleem - the future of umpiring !

[Billy]

Dar has been brilliant so far, I think that's the first one he's got wrong all series.

just checking

Australia getting killed.

))) You Pakistanis crack me up

 

[Monsee]

))) You Pakistanis crack me up

Although I am not very sure how Pak will fare against England in Tests...you cannot really count them out

Cricket is a really funny gamme...remember how Pak's weakest team beat India senseless

So if I was you, I wouldn't be so "brash about it"

 

[Billy]

So if I was you, I wouldn't be so "brash about it"

I'm certainly not going to be "brash about it".. .. but Sami?

I'll have to bring out the Martin Bicknell threats if comments like that keep being made.

 

[Monsee]

I'll have to bring out the Martin Bicknell threats if comments like that keep being made.

I am not sure if he will ever proove his doubters wrong BUT Imran Khan took almost 6 years to become a great bowler...maybe Sami's time has finally come fater the surgery and all. He did bowl well in India

Now if he does help destroy England, will you guys be willing to allow us to give you the Desi Phainti with 13 size littars

 

[Ace Base]

At the rate at which Australia are going, it'll be down to their premier batsman, Glenn McGrath, to save them.

Since McGrath's not playing, Aussies lose!

 

[z10]

avoiding the follow on is the sensible target here for australia

only 165 more to get.....

 

[Ace Base]

Gilly taking the attack to the English. That's the way it should be down. I personally feel he was too circumspect in the first innings, indeed this entire series so far.

Australian must respond in the way they do best; counter-attacking.

This is off-topic, but might I add, this is why I feel somebody like Afridi is so important to Pakistani cricket.

 

[ZM]

Entertaining stuff from gilly

 

[z10]

Gilly and katich have put on 58 in 7.2 overs at 7.9 RR

 

[Billy]

Wide, full half volley from Jonah results in Kat plonking it straight to Strauss.

Brilliant.

 

[Billy]

Jonah gets Warne with a good ball.


7 down.

 

[z10]

avoiding the follow on seems impossible now

unless gilly goes mental...

 

[Noman]

Nice to see

 

[Rob H]

158-7 ))

 

[Noman]

I hope Flintoft knock Lee over by his bouncer.............

 

[Billy]

Gilly out, great catch by Strauss off Fred.

 

[Rob H]

Amazing one handed catch by Strauss to get Gilchrist. He was hanging in the air and caught it. AMAZING

 

[Noman]

what a catch by strauss

 

[Noman]

is this the catch of he ashes???

 

[Amjid Javed]

wow, that catch defo was sumat spcl!

 

[Rob H]

is this the catch of the ashes???

I'm not sure. That Geraint Jones reflex catch was amazing

 

[Rob H]

Kasper bowled by an amazing outswinger from Jones

 

[Noman]

out

 

[Billy]

Great ball that one.

 

[Noman]

Will england bat again or will they take followon....

I think they will take the follow

 

[Billy]

What an amazing shot from Lee!

 

[Rob H]

Out Of The Ground!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rob H]

another HUGE 6

 

[Billy]

He does it again!

 

[Rob H]

another 4

 

[Rob H]

Lee has amazing power. 2 sixes out of the ground

 

[Amjid Javed]

come on brett lee score a 100! awesome entertainment!

 

[Rob H]

OUT finally.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Australia 218 all out

 

[Noman]

How many will Australia get in the second inning?

 

[z10]

How many will Australia get in the second inning?

less than in the first....

 

[Billy]

350 I reckon.

Maybe 400.

 

[z10]

350 I reckon.

Maybe 400.

i doubt it...australia batting has been poor all series

whatever they get it shud be an easy victory for england!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aus 10/0 in 2nd inns.. i recon they will get 370 2nd time round..!

 

[Billy]

370 still only leaves England 120 win though.

Which is kinda' amazing.

The wonders of mathematics.

 

[Afridi_rulez]

England will win this test so that means england are playing better than australia so pakisatn should have a hard time if england carry on with this

 

[Amjid Javed]

Australia 23/0 ..

200 run 1st wkt stand needed... lol!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aus 35/0 now... needs a india calcutta type performance to turn this game around... atleast 3 aussies batsmen will have 2 get tons here...!
