[Justcrazy]

26 / 2

 

[Convict]

Side on shot from off side shows ball hits pad before bat.

Yeah

 

[TM Riddle]

another !!!!!!! 3 down

 

[Aman]

KP goes!

 

[TM Riddle]

Kevin Pietersen is out!!

 

[style_guru]

More controversy surrounding DRS will erupt after Root's dismissal I guess.

 

[TM Riddle]

Aussies on a roll here

 

[nish_mate]

)

 

[mr.crickett]

So whats queen will be thinking

 

[Convict]

This is why Harris is the best bowler in Australia

 

[TM Riddle]

whatte sensational start by aussies

 

[Aman]

More controversy surrounding DRS will erupt after Root's dismissal I guess.

As Gilly said the side on view proved it was pad first.

 

[Justcrazy]

Harris make immediate impact .

 

[style_guru]

Wow my man Harris has done it. KP goes

 

[TM Riddle]

god save the poms )

 

[mr.crickett]

 

[mr.crickett]

Hariss boy u beauty...!

 

[Aman]

Where have all the English/GB fans gone?

 

[TM Riddle]

terrific bowling by watto and Harris, England on backfoot

 

[nish_mate]

Some1 start singing " God save the Queen"

 

[mr.crickett]

Harris proving to be the usual nightmare for top order batsmen when he's fit. Pacy & accurate. Imagine if Bird was playing?

 

[Justcrazy]

28 / 3

 

[style_guru]

So whats queen will be thinking

We need more representation from our ex-subjects

 

[Bowled 'im]

Hat's off to pup and his use of his bowlers so far.

 

[mr.crickett]

England have won the toss and elected to collapse

 

[TM Riddle]

pattinson again replacing Watson

 

[lilFlip]

That was a pad 1st.

Aussies bowling like they do!

 

[mr.crickett]

Already set up for another great Test! Looks a much better pitch. Why do England bat so badly in the first innings these days?

 

[style_guru]

It's time Pattinson rises to the occasion and knocks a few poms off their feet.

 

[mr.crickett]

How fitting would it be of Broad gets out to a stinker later and can't review because Root wasted the challenge?

 

[Justcrazy]

Trot will be important here for Poms.

 

[mr.crickett]

I think the 15 mins of meeting the queen instead of shaking Tendulkar's hand destabilized the English top order.

 

[Justcrazy]

Maiden by pattison

 

[mr.crickett]

Pietersen is beginning to get Andy Murray syndrome. When he is bad he’s South African, when he’s good he’s English

 

[0tt0man]

Ryan Harris is too good a bowler to remain sitting out. Excellent start for the Aussies!

 

[mr.crickett]

One more wicket and some people might find themselves in a tower.

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies should use harris properly

 

[mr.crickett]

England batsmen being considerate to Aussie fans who need to be in bed at a reasonable hour. Thanks guys!

 

[mr.crickett]

England 28/3 (8.1 ov)
Australia
England won the toss and elected to bat
Day 1 - Session 1

 

[style_guru]

I would love to see Harris bowl to Trott. Two good players at it

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Aman]

Should really bring on Siddle for Pattinson

 

[style_guru]

Patto is spraying it around. May be he wants us not to miss the Mitchells

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good to see Harrris been selected for Aussies, hes there best seamer (Yes he has fitness issues) but hes always going to damage to the oppostion with the ball. A few more wickets here and england will be in a massive hole.

 

[lilFlip]

Almost....

 

[Justcrazy]

32. 3

 

[Justcrazy]

Can Siddle get another one here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Why Harris does not play ODI , he will have less work load.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tight bowling by Aussies here.

 

[Aman]

Lol Boof

 

[Justcrazy]

Harris right on money so far

 

[mr.crickett]

"Sorry, Ma'am. You'll have to vacate the royal box. The Prince of Calcutta is here."

 

[Justcrazy]

33 / 3 after 10

 

[mr.crickett]

Commentary thus far in the series has been top notch -
bumble, holding, beefy, Hussein, Warne

 

[mr.crickett]

England 33/3 (10.2 ov)
Australia
England won the toss and elected to bat
Day 1 - Session 1

 

[Ims1]

This is now very interesting . 1 more wicket here & we could see another sub 250 total .

 

[Justcrazy]

watson is back

 

[mr.crickett]

Darren Lehmann listening to the Sky Sports commentary while they're sledging him

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies need to restrict Poms within 230 - 250 here.

 

[mr.crickett]

Eng will be bowled out in less than 200. Anyone?

 

[nish_mate]

Eng will be bowled out in less than 200. Anyone?

Their bottom half scores more than the top bit...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pattison needs to tighten up here and not allow pressure to be released at one end.

 

[mr.crickett]

Can't believe warne is still scaring England batsmen from the comm's box. Shame on you Warnie. 3 down.

 

[mr.crickett]

England 33/3 (11.0 ov)
Australia
England won the toss and elected to bat
Day 1 - Session 1

 

[style_guru]

Apparently the Queen had enough of this. She has decided to leave.

Change of ends for Patto the new spray gun

 

[mr.crickett]

Not content with 3 top order wickets, the Australians have now dismissed the Queen

 

[mr.crickett]

Now ENG batsmen can play without pressure

 

[SL_Fan]

Lol the queen has had enuf

 

[mr.crickett]

Rumour has it that The Queen is padding up and is due to come in at number 6

 

[MarkCooper]

She couldn't do much worse than this lot.

 

[Convict]

Eng will be bowled out in less than 200. Anyone?

Needs another few.

 

[SL_Fan]

Clarke trying to wear our Watto? If so kinda backfired you have ta say

 

[Random Aussie]

Bowling too wide

 

[Aman]

Australia are bowling too wide for my liking... England will make 250+

 

[LegendAli]

Needs another few.

Can't put all the pressure on Harris here.

 

[Robert]

The Aussies usually play well at Lord's - England have beaten them once here in 75 years or something. Maybe it's the sight of all those MCC stuffed shirts in the Long Room, reminding them of the aristocrats who sent their forefathers to Suvla Bay...

Let's see if Battler Bell or Bottler Bell shows up today.

 

[SL_Fan]

Vegan destroyah after drinks?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aussies need to try and dry runs up completely and more wickets should follow.

 

[SL_Fan]

Trott again the big wicket. The guy is in supreme touch.

 

[SL_Fan]

Prolly the best Aus line-up selected in ages I reckon.
