England vs Australia | 1st Ashes Test | Nottingham | 13/7/13 | Day 4

[lestaboy]

150 run victory.

You think so come on back your country mate

 

[mr.crickett]

England 215 & 372/8 (148.0 ov)
Australia 280
England lead by 307 runs with 2 wickets remaining

 

[lestaboy]

Edge and well short of the fielder

 

[mr.crickett]

its a good lead but never under estimate aussies

 

[KIC]

So did Broad walk today or did the umpire give him out?

 

[malakian]

Australia should be very worried, we're still managing to rack up 400 in the seconds innings against Australia's so called world class attack, despite Trott being out for a duck & us carrying passengers like Bairstow.

5-0

 

[lestaboy]

Big appeal and turn dowm by the umpire kumar

 

[mr.crickett]

Teams chasing over 300 to win a Test Match have lost 336, drawn 191 and tied once. Only 4.7% teams (26 teams) have reached their target.

 

[Convict]

You think so come on back your country mate

I'd be amazed if Australia were able to score over 200

 

[lestaboy]

Again big appeal and turn dowm again

 

[Robert]

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

Got a test fifty in Hobbitland.

 

[lestaboy]

3 appeals in a row same ans from kumar

 

[Rockstar]

Why Richie Benaud, Mark Taylor and Lawry not in the commentary? Without them the Ashes is boring

 

[lestaboy]

i'd be amazed if australia were able to score over 200

we wanna see some fight from aus mate otherwise i beleive this ashes is one sided series this time around

 

[Robert]

I'd be amazed if Australia were able to score over 200

I dunno, it's hard to take wickets on this deck, and it's a belting hot day for the UK. Might be closer than you think. Swannage is the key.

 

[Aman]

Got a test fifty in Hobbitland.

Looks too good of a batsmen to be English..

 

[lestaboy]

Apart from anderson all the eng tailenders are capable of some short of runs

 

[Convict]

we wanna see some fight from aus mate otherwise i beleive this ashes is one sided series this time around

Lord's and Durham (if it places like County Cricket) are our only chances.

I'm increasingly confident of winning in Australia though. Nothing I've seen from Englands bowlers suggets they will be good over here.

 

[lestaboy]

Out and goner

 

[Rockstar]

Why Richie Benaud, Mark Taylor and Lawry not in the commentary? Without them the Ashes is boring

Answer me no

 

[Convict]

Answer me no

Because this is an English telecast.

Bill has retired anyway

 

[Aman]

Sir Jimmy and co are hapless with a Kookaburra, Trott was literally getting more swing with it

 

[mr.crickett]

Broad is now out again. Crowd gives him a standing ovation. He even raises his bat. Commentator said...He walks!

 

[lestaboy]

Anderson boy comes in

 

[Random Aussie]

I dunno, it's hard to take wickets on this deck, and it's a belting hot day for the UK. Might be closer than you think. Swannage is the key.

We cant bat mate, we arent gonna make 300. If we got anywhere near it it would be bowlers making the runs, yet again.

 

[lestaboy]

Match is in the balance could go either way

 

[Aman]

Because this is an English telecast.

Bill has retired anyway

Doesn't he do one of the Sydney/Brisbane tests?

 

[lestaboy]

Gone allover

 

[lestaboy]

311 is the target for australia

 

[mr.crickett]

Swan song #Ashes I wouldn't have walked

 

[Rockstar]

 

[lestaboy]

I just got a funny felling aus mite squeeze in

 

[Convict]

We cant bat mate, we arent gonna make 300. If we got anywhere near it it would be bowlers making the runs, yet again.

The idea of multiple Australians batting for more than an hour is amusing

 

[Rockstar]

Because this is an English telecast.

Bill has retired anyway

Thanks mate....commentary is very boring I must say.
Aussie Commentary rocks

 

[iHammad]

311 to win the 1st Ashes Test

 

[Aman]

Surely the top order will go better in the second dig?

 

[malakian]

Lord's and Durham (if it places like County Cricket) are our only chances.

I'm increasingly confident of winning in Australia though. Nothing I've seen from Englands bowlers suggets they will be good over here.

The same England bowlers destroyed you last time they toured down under, what you talking about?

 

[lestaboy]

All depends on clarke boy from aus and swann boy from eng this two can change the game from there respective sides

 

[mr.crickett]

Australia need 311 to win the 1st #Ashes test. Can we do it? In Barack Obama's words; YES WE CAN!

 

[Aman]

I can't see Watson and Cowan doing much, It's up to Clarke, Smith and the tail.

 

[mr.crickett]

If there's a time to shine its now Australia's top order .....ashes

 

[Convict]

The same England bowlers destroyed you last time they toured down under, what you talking about?

Given the tour itinerary we've given you guys I think we can say that CA will prepare the wickets to destroy any swing.

Our batting will actually be a lot better than 2010 anyway in my opinion. Though of course that is just a prediction.

 

[lestaboy]

Eng will do it eng will b&q it

 

[mr.crickett]

The record chase in the fourth innings at this venue is 284 which England chased down against New Zealand in 2004. Cmon Aussie boys!

 

[Convict]

We cant bat mate, we arent gonna make 300. If we got anywhere near it it would be bowlers making the runs, yet again.

You reckon we will make tomorrow?

 

[mr.crickett]

311 with almost 2 days to bat should be a walk in the park, provided no one comes out playing like we have to win before lunch.

 

[MarkCooper]

I wonder if that loser Watson can get his first century in three years.

 

[Random Aussie]

The idea of multiple Australians batting for more than an hour is amusing

We have rolled England twice on a dead pitch for 600. Siddle with eight wickets, Patto and Starc five apiece. If we had some batsman that should put us in a pretty good position, but we dont.

 

[mr.crickett]

We need Misbah/younas type partnership to win this match.

 

[Convict]

I wonder if that loser Watson can get his first century in three years.

He'll play some nice shots then get out lbw.

 

[Random Aussie]

You reckon we will make tomorrow?

Yes, if the tail can hang around )

 

[malakian]

Watson will hit a few boundaries & then get out, he's too thick to know how to build an innings.

 

[Aman]

Maybe Australia should hide Clarke down the order, he's their best chance and if the top order can see off the new ball he should be able to pile on the runs with Swann being the only threat.

 

[MarkCooper]

I predict Watson will get between 15-30 runs then get out.

 

[mr.crickett]

You can do it boiz! My us proud lads! AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI! #Ashes #AUSvsENG #WeWillWin #bringItHome #theAshesIsOurs

 

[lestaboy]

What a ball by andderson

 

[Random Aussie]

I predict Watson will get between 15-30 runs then get out.

Stunning prediction that. Its never happened before.

 

[lestaboy]

Ball is swinging like any thing danger time for aus

 

[mr.crickett]

boys just stay at the wicket and rotate strike.. no big shots
we will surely win

 

[lestaboy]

Eng is pumped up danger time for aus

 

[Random Aussie]

Wooo we made it through over one

 

[lestaboy]

Aus should try to play for draw they cant win this ...

 

[mr.crickett]

some people on twitter are predicting 150 all out :ehsan

 

[lestaboy]

Broady boy in

 

[mr.crickett]

aus should try to play for draw they cant win this ...

lol

 

[lestaboy]

Even broad is swinging aswell ohhhh

 

[mr.crickett]

what if someone dont walk if he edged broad, umpire gave not out and no DRS remaining

 

[mr.crickett]

I truly hope that Ashton Agar has done enough and that he is not required to bat in this run chase

 

[mr.crickett]

How long until lunch, how long til tea and 10 minutes to drinks. You crickreters are obsessed with your stomachs

 

[lestaboy]

So basically aus dont have any young opener than rogers who is 35

 

[lestaboy]

Edge and dosent carry

 

[Aman]

So basically aus dont have any young opener than rogers who is 35

Nic Maddinson looks promising but still too early to really judge.

 

[lestaboy]

Good cricket all around

 

[lestaboy]

nic maddinson

than why he is not playing as a first choice opener .. Why they are trying ttfs for like pak does

 

[Rockstar]

Shane Watson will bring back his IPL form and destroy English bowlers

 

[lestaboy]

Four

 

[lestaboy]

shane watson will bring back his ipl form and destroy english bowlers

hahahahahaha eng bowlers are not trundlers

 

[Aman]
