[Excellence]

ooooooh

 

[saiyan0312]

anderson to bowl.

 

[Ims1]

Jimmy bowling the 1st over .

 

[saiyan0312]

relax and see off couple of overs and then strike them.

 

[KIC]

What I love about cricket is that it cannot be fully comprehended; nobody knows who the favourites are here. England technically only need 1 ball to do something, but 20 runs isn't many to get either.

Keeping all emotions aside, England has to be favorites till Aussies are one shot away from victory. It just takes one good ball or mistake.

 

[OZGOD]

Maiden over

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Any suggestion what Afridi or Akmals would have done during this chase?

 

[Aman]

Shameful stuff from England
Clear edge

 

[saiyan0312]

inside edge and a run.

 

[WebGuru]

3...match slipping further...

 

[CalculatedRisk]

CMON Haddin you can do it.

 

[Markhor]

Inside edge, well ran for 3.

 

[saiyan0312]

16 to win.

 

[OZGOD]

England trying to thief Haddin out

 

[soso_killer]

lol if Haddin pulls this off i might forget the incident that cost his team in the 49 all out game

 

[saiyan0312]

15 runs they are losing concentration.

 

[Kianig89]

15

 

[Convict]

lol if Haddin pulls this off i might forget the incident that cost his team in the 49 all out game

If haddin pulls this off I'll nominate him for Australian of the Year.

Also all time great wicket keeper for Australia

 

[saiyan0312]

15 runs and 50 overs left...

 

[iafzal]

Tie will be nice

 

[Aman]

Should be out

 

[KingKhanWC]

Sounds like an edge. Review.

 

[imshally81]

Review

 

[Ims1]

outttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

 

[saiyan0312]

WOAH i thought i heard an edge.

 

[Aman]

think he nicked it

 

[WebGuru]

Drs

 

[Markhor]

Big caught behind appeal. Review taken.

 

[Aman]

Aus need some luck here

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[KingKhanWC]

Looks out but not a big hot spot at all.

 

[saiyan0312]

very very tight.

 

[Aman]

Massive call

 

[Markhor]

Can hear an edge.

 

[OZGOD]

England doing their absolute best to thief Haddin out

 

[Markhor]

What a way to end the Test )

Imagine the nerves.

 

[Aman]

Pansies steal another one

 

[imshally81]

Oh yes

 

[KingKhanWC]

Unlucky Australia but that was out.

 

[IgnitedMind]

 

[saiyan0312]

hot spot is not showing alot of conclusive evidence..... umpire decided he has a clear hot spot... england wins it.

 

[James]

I'm surprised the appeal wasn't more convincing. That was clearly out.

 

[Markhor]

Out ! Given - England win.

 

[WebGuru]

and england won...what a fight by aussies...

 

[OZGOD]

 

[test_fan]

Lol drs

 

[Kianig89]

A farcical end damn!!!!!!!!!!

 

[OZGOD]

To be fair, faintest of spots

 

[saiyan0312]

So close the lunch won them the match. jimmy takes a tenfer.

 

[OZGOD]

Typical end to the match

 

[Convict]

of course

 

[KIC]

Great match.

 

[James]

Like I said. A really strange one. The edge was rather audible and it could only have been bat. Surprised England didn't go up more convincingly.

 

[lilFlip]

What a match!

 

[Kianig89]

Poor Erasmus who gave it out...............

 

[imshally81]

I love DRS

 

[soso_killer]

Oh well

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Like I said. A really strange one. The edge was rather audible and it could only have been bat. Surprised England didn't go up more convincingly.

Could Have been the tension of the game.

 

[Greenshadow]

Screw this. Really wanted Aus to win

 

[Ims1]

Nice game

 

[saiyan0312]

good work england and great work aussies... played very well and to win... great ashes match and loved every second of it... hope the rest are as close as this one.

 

[hamzie]

love the celebration scenes

 

[test_fan]

Like I said. A really strange one. The edge was rather audible and it could only have been bat. Surprised England didn't go up more convincingly.

There was not enough evidence to overrule the on field call.

 

[Indiafan]

To be fair, faintest of spots

That spot was there, before the ball reached the bat!

 

[OZGOD]

Good effort from the OZ. If they had scored another 15 runs in the top order it might have been different.

 

[Noman]

England did not gooo up, because of pressure sooo much pressure that their could not believe it was an edge..

 

[Ruri]

Oh my god. I went back to bed at lunch too nervous to keep going and then woke to this. Oh my god. Oh wow. I dont even know.

 

[OZGOD]

That spot was there, before the ball reached the bat!

I heard a noise when the ball went past the bat though. A faint noise but it was there. Less obvious than Cheater's but it was there.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

That mark was before the ball reached the bat! Where's snicko ??

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

That spot was there, before the ball reached the bat!

Good spot

 

[Indiafan]

England did not gooo up, because of pressure sooo much pressure that their could not believe it was an edge..

Lol, wut?

 

[test_fan]

Man of the match-- DRS.

 

[ali bubba]

From the sideways view you couldn't tell by hotspot if the mark on the bat was by the ball or his pad.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Aussies robbed by DRS.

Well played.No matter what i will keep supporting the Aussies in the Ashes.

 

[test_fan]

There was definitely an edge but not enough evidence to overturn the on field call. It was guesswork from the 3rd umpire.

 

[Indiafan]

I heard a noise when the ball went past the bat though. A faint noise but it was there. Less obvious than Cheater's but it was there.

Yes, but is that enough to over-turn an original decision of not-out?

 

[Noman]

Lol, wut?

It was not a big edge.. too many thoughts going in head.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Nothing on hot spot but was a definite noise. Great game.

 

[Convict]

I heard a noise when the ball went past the bat though. A faint noise but it was there. Less obvious than Cheater's but it was there.

Pretty obviously a nick.

Hotspot was from the pad though

 

[Aman]

This.
