[Justcrazy]

321 / 9

 

[mr.crickett]

Harris 13 Test wickets 52 so called wonder boy 13 Test 51 wicket.. whats the fuss to bring him back

Amir is way batter than Harris, Although Harris is also a great bowler.

 

[Convict]

This looks very flat. I'd love to see Hughes get in on this wicket.

 

[Convict]

Amir is way batter than Harris, Although Harris is also a great bowler.

Out of interest you're Desi right?

 

[Justcrazy]

Swan can be dangerous

 

[Aman]

Amir is way batter than Harris, Although Harris is also a great bowler.

Harris is 34 and Amir was 18..

 

[mr.crickett]

harris, please hit swann in the hand , injure him

 

[style_guru]

Why are the Aussie bowlers not bowling at Broad's throat? He is definitely not comfortable with short stuff as evident from his Ganguly style protective gearing visible

325 / 9

 

[mr.crickett]

Out of interest you're Desi right?

Why you assume ONLY being Desi, I shall like Amir bowling.

I always enjoy his bowling, he is my all time favourite bowler. I rate him better than Wasim , Waqar , Lee, Mcgrath and others

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 16 runs

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[mr.crickett]

England 333/9 (97.1 ov)
Australia
England won the toss and elected to bat
Day 2 - Session 1

 

[Justcrazy]

Again last wicket Partnership on here.

 

[mr.crickett]

This partnership is getting serious, bonus runs I reckon.

 

[mr.crickett]

We need Harris at both ends

 

[mr.crickett]

Broad puffs his chest out but he is scared shitless. Stepping on square legs toes. C'mon boys finish this off keys get batting

 

[mr.crickett]

Y don't the bowlers just bowl at the tail Enders toes??? We were taught this when we were 10!!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

Swan on fire

 

[MarkCooper]

What is it with tail enders getting big runs in tests lately ?

 

[style_guru]

Y don't the bowlers just bowl at the tail Enders toes??? We were taught this when we were 10!!!!

Or the ribs

 

[Justcrazy]

This will be costly for Aussies.

 

[mr.crickett]

Who does Broad think he is? Ashton Agar?

 

[Convict]

Why you assume ONLY being Desi, I shall like Amir bowling.

I always enjoy his bowling, he is my all time favourite bowler. I rate him better than Wasim , Waqar , Lee, Mcgrath and others

Nah.
From a lot of your previous posting as well.

It's no big deal if you don't want to tell me though.

 

[Kianig89]

comparing Harris with Amir

Yup comparing dedicated committed player with a fix....

 

[mr.crickett]

ruining the impact created early morning

 

[Convict]

This is a flat wicket.
But seriously stop bowling short

 

[mr.crickett]

Yup comparing dedicated committed player with a fix....

He is not dedicated, otherwise he would have worked hard on his fitness and would have served country more.

 

[style_guru]

Extreme damage being done by these two batters now. Good counter attack by Swann & Broad.

 

[Robert]

comparing Harris with Amir

Yes, Harris is playing because he is not a spot-fixer

 

[MarkCooper]

Sledging broad not working, even though he is a big girls blouse

 

[Justcrazy]

348 / 9

 

[mr.crickett]

Current partnership 35 runs, 5.1 overs, RR: 6.77 (Swann 21, Broad 14)

Will make a huge difference, I bet...!

 

[Convict]

He is not dedicated, otherwise he would have worked hard on his fitness and would have served country more.

He is dedicated.

Just isn't going to recover.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Yes, Harris is playing because he is not a match-fixer

this was about their bowling aspect.
Amir was 18 Harris is 34...

Recent overs . 1 . . 2 . | . . 4 . 4 . | 4 . 4 4 1 . | 1 4 1 . 3 6

RUBBISH BOWLING

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[style_guru]

Siddle who?

 

[HamzaSaeen]

can't take one more wicket

 

[Kianig89]

Aus are lacking some basic ingredients require to be a successful Test outfit e.g. top quality spinner

 

[mr.crickett]

Yes, Harris is playing because he is not a match-fixer

What about CHEATER broad, did not walk when he was out.

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies missed a big opportunity , Poms would be delighted with this partnership.

 

[style_guru]

Bring on Smith.

 

[mr.crickett]

poms' Tail has created damage, these 40-50 extra runs and counting will hurt us.

 

[Kianig89]

360 up

 

[Justcrazy]

361 / 9

 

[style_guru]

This is carnage

 

[mr.crickett]

Bring on smith please....!

 

[mr.crickett]

England 361/9 (100.0 ov)
Australia
England won the toss and elected to bat
Day 2 - Session 1

 

[style_guru]

Smith has been underbowled by Clarke in general me thinks.

 

[Kianig89]

This is called proper tail unlike our

 

[mr.crickett]

Why our bowlers are forgetting a trick here, some good yorkers will do the job

 

[Convict]

Broad why you review?

 

[mr.crickett]

No killer instinct Australia this last wicket partnership will cost the game

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[HamzaSaeen]

out finally

 

[mr.crickett]

Last 10 Tests at Lords the average 1st Innings score is 375... England now 361 for 9...

 

[Kianig89]

361 good score now Aussies to bat i'm interested to see how Khwaja goes

 

[mr.crickett]

361 is a good target to chase, tough job ahead.

 

[Kianig89]

Eng are almost safe in this test can;t see Aus getting a 120 lead

 

[style_guru]

Can Chris broad overturn that decision and call back Broad?

 

[Justcrazy]

should have been 320 all out , Aussies would be disappointed.

 

[mr.crickett]

Awkward Moment, Aussies headed towards dressing room & Swann, Broad are waiting for 3rd Umpire's decisions.

 

[Justcrazy]

To be honest not a bad score by Poms , Aussies need to bat well here , and get a good lead to put pressure on Poms.

 

[mr.crickett]

if we score 450 then we shall in a position to win this match, otherwise no chance.

 

[mr.crickett]

Australia have gone 9 consecutive Test innings without a player scoring a century.
lets hope for good in this test

 

[Robert]

361 is not enough on this deck IMO. England will have to bowl like a dream to stay in the match.

 

[Convict]

Australia have gone 9 consecutive Test innings without a player scoring a century.
lets hope for good in this test

We've also lost 5 straight.

 

[majiz]

Like every Aussie in history (except Gilchrist).

aus vs pak, 1999, 2nd test hobart, aus 2nd innings

pak were robbed of the match by cheater gilchrist

 

[LegendAli]

Anxiously waiting Roberts reply now.

 

[Captain Podmore]

What a flat deck! The pommie imports cant even save them this time as they are bundled out for just 361. What a shame..

 

[Captain Podmore]

Australia should look to rack up atleast 550 on this pancake with Pup making a triple. Jimmy will start chucking his customary pies now that conditions actually dont favour him.

 

[LegendAli]

Why does Khawaja keep making that face, he looks like he's about to cry.

So annoying.

 

[Convict]

Willy Root?

)))))

Tell me that isn't actually his name

 

[SOSami]

Guys can we tone down the "All Englishmen are cheaters" or "All Australians are cheaters" please?

It's actually quite offensive stuff, even if confined to a purely sporting context.

 

[majiz]

it's true that no batsman has been a walker through and through (gilly never walked when it really mattered), it's just broad stinks of cheat more than most. if any player was going to be caught up in the controversy of the last test match, it was him.

Test purist mate?

 

[mr.crickett]

Come on WATSON, It feels like a good day for a Century.

 

[Captain Podmore]

Root's brother looks old enough to be his father.
