[Shayan]

[lestaboy]

5 Mins

 

[Random Aussie]

Likely will be over today

 

[lestaboy]

I just got a funny felling that this test is heading towards lame draw

 

[lestaboy]

Star to open

 

[lestaboy]

Starc

 

[lestaboy]

Oh beamer first ball

 

[Justcrazy]

No balls

Aussies are disturbed.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

Not right start for Aussies.

 

[Justcrazy]

England lead by 270 runs with 4 wickets remaining

 

[lestaboy]

pattinson in

 

[lestaboy]

crappy pitch

 

[lestaboy]

edge and gone thru the slip cordon

 

[lestaboy]

What's happening with aussie

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[lestaboy]

was the easiest catch ever i believe

 

[lestaboy]

Bell boy on 99

 

[lestaboy]

100 for bell boy

 

[lestaboy]

18 test match 100 for bell boy second against aus

 

[lestaboy]

this 100 have assured him he will play rest of the ashes

 

[lestaboy]

aussie bowling is not looking dangerous at all

 

[Justcrazy]

341 / 6

 

[lestaboy]

Even fielding is not upto the mark for aus

 

[Robert]

A century stand for the seventh wicket is better than I'd hoped. I thought they might get 70 and 25 respectively.....

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms will blow away Aussies.

 

[lestaboy]

very slow and low pitch even the bouncer is not carrying to the keeper

 

[Justcrazy]

Too many Poms have already got.

 

[lestaboy]

i thought starc had a very good pace at the moment he bowling around 80 miles

 

[Justcrazy]

England lead by 280 runs with 4 wickets remaining

 

[malakian]

Hope Broad makes a century, just to rub all the crybabies noses in it.

 

[lestaboy]

3 runs for broady

 

[Justcrazy]

I predicted yesterday itself when this partnership was 25 - 30 ........ that this would bat Aussies out of game ......... That is exactly how it happened.

 

[Convict]

Poms will blow away Aussies.

They blew us away about 18 hours ago.

 

[lestaboy]

no ball

 

[lestaboy]

Australia need to play with 5 genuine bowlers ..this 4 bowlers are not just enuf

 

[lestaboy]

even agar i wont call him a genuine bowler he lacks the guile the mystery of a left armer

 

[Convict]

Australia need to play with 5 genuine bowlers ..this 4 bowlers are not just enuf

You have seen us bat right?

 

[lestaboy]

4 for broady boy

 

[Convict]

even agar i wont call him a genuine bowler he lacks the guile the mystery of a left armer

Bloody rough on a nineteen year old.

Shane Warne was useless for his first tests.

 

[lestaboy]

You have seen us bat right?

Yaa mate but this bowlers you got are not the class which aus had i dont think so they can take 20 wickets .. specially agar i beleive he is very young dosent have the old mystery ball

 

[Justcrazy]

England lead by 291 runs with 4 wickets remaining

 

[lestaboy]

This test belongs to eng now .. aus is not just good enuf for eng at this particular time

 

[Justcrazy]

partnership 138 runs

 

[lestaboy]

goner out broad out now

 

[lestaboy]

Swann boy in now

 

[Convict]

Got him yes gawn sod off you're out

 

[MarkCooper]

Broad walked!

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Random Aussie]

Yaa mate but this bowlers you got are not the class which aus had i dont think so they can take 20 wickets .. specially agar i beleive he is very young dosent have the old mystery ball

Dont have the class? Three of em average under 30, which is more than any other attack in the world can boast.

We cant bat mate, your analysis is flawed.

 

[Convict]

To be honest if you were really tactical you'd try to get one of our bowlers to injure Swann here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Finally a wicket ......... can Aussies restrict the lead to 300 - 310.

 

[Random Aussie]

Our best hope is for Patto or Siddle to hit Swann on the hand and stop him bowling.

 

[Random Aussie]

To be honest if you were really tactical you'd try to get one of our bowlers to injure Swann here.

Great minds

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies should not allow Swan to slog here.

 

[Justcrazy]

To be honest I think collectively Poms have best tail enders right now.

 

[Random Aussie]

To be honest I think collectively Poms have best tail enders right now.

I would call them lower order, only Anderson is a tailender. The others can bat.

 

[Justcrazy]

Swan can slog a few quick runs.

 

[Gunther]

Swanny has turned into bit of a wimp with the bat in the recent times. Dont break your hand mate

 

[Justcrazy]

I would call them lower order, only Anderson is a tailender. The others can bat.

Yes , specially in test cricket

 

[Convict]

Swanny has turned into bit of a wimp with the bat in the recent times. Dont break your hand mate

That should be our aim.

 

[Justcrazy]

2 maidens

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies bowling tightly here

 

[Random Aussie]

Beautiful back to back fours from Bell

 

[Gunther]

That should be our aim.

But don't think he is that good ! He is barely making an effort to get into the line of the delivery for your lot to break something. Most probably would scoop a catch after a couple of bouncers. Bell should think of shifting gears here.

 

[malakian]

Probably the best I've ever seen Bell bat tbh.

 

[Convict]

But don't think he is that good ! He is barely making an effort to get into the line of the delivery for your lot to break something. Most probably would scoop a catch after a couple of bouncers. Bell should think of shifting gears here.

Swanny knows that we know that the only way we can win is if he can't bowl.

 

[Aman]

Wheres Johnson when you need him...

 

[Convict]

Wheres Johnson when you need him...

Select Johnson just to injure all the bowlers.

Taking bad sportsmanship to a new level.

 

[Aman]

Taking bad sportsmanship to a new level.

It was a joke..

Never mind I see what you did there

 

[Gunther]

Swannie will enjoy siddle. The deliveries will sit up nicely for him to flay through the offside.

 

[Robert]

Beautiful back to back fours from Bell

Yeah, looked like David Gower or Mark Waugh.

300 lead.....

 

[Madplayer]

Bodyline is the way forward. But are aussie bowlers capable of it? They are too soft i would say.

 

[Convict]

Got him yes gone

 

[Robert]

Unplayable ball from Starc. That would have got Bradman out.

 

[Random Aussie]

Yeah, looked like David Gower or Mark Waugh.

300 lead.....

Pattinson has bowled some ripping reverse swing deliveries in this innings, unfortunately he has bowled all of them to a batter with the technique to deal with him.

Starc gets him now, well played Sherminator.

 

[lestaboy]

Lead of 307 is more than enuf for aus fragile batting

 

[Convict]

Lead of 307 is more than enuf for aus fragile batting

150 run victory.

 

[lestaboy]

eng are trying to play upto lunch

 

[Random Aussie]

Finn looks reasonable with the bat. Gets behind it, straight bat.
