[Amjid Javed]

Aussies will be looking just to get to lunch here without losing a wicket.

 

[Gunther]

Australia 12/0 (7.0 ov)
Australia trail by 349 runs with 10 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
Day 2 - Session 1

 

[MarkCooper]

Aussies should get 450 here.

 

[mr.crickett]

England using the Sub fielders more like an interchange bench.

 

[majiz]

england remind me of south africa.

 

[Convict]

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

Willy Root?

)))

 

[mr.crickett]

These boys could play themselves into form. Go Aussie

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch is very good .

 

[Justcrazy]

3 more runs

25 / 0

 

[Captain Podmore]

Willy Root?

)))

Is that his name?

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[style_guru]

Looks like Podmore is Australia's answer to Malakian

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies would be happy to see Bresnan bowling instead of Finn.

 

[Justcrazy]

Welcome Podmore to the forum

 

[Justcrazy]

Too many boundary balls here.

 

[style_guru]

Watto should be careful here. He is being fed with loose deliveries here.

 

[Justcrazy]

35 / 0

 

[Convict]

Calm down Watto

 

[Convict]

Is that his name?

Not even joking.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like Aussies starting to step up a gear here now, wicket looks nice and solid for batting.

 

[majiz]

good carry, no movement, like an aussie pitch this. although we all know how that went for aus against eng last time.....

 

[Aman]

Not even joking.

Little Willie?

 

[Convict]

Little Willie?

Does Root mean the same in New Zealand as it does in Australia?

 

[Justcrazy]

swan just before lunch.

 

[Captain Podmore]

Welcome Podmore to the forum

Thanks mate. Nice to be here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Does Root mean the same in New Zealand as it does in Australia?

Convict , are you a real convict ?

 

[Justcrazy]

40 / 0

 

[Captain Podmore]

[Ims1]

i just came back . good start .

 

[Justcrazy]

One more before lunch.

 

[Convict]

Convict , are you a real convict ?

Do have a convict ancestor.

 

[MarkCooper]

Watson's three year with no tonnes continue.

 

[Convict]

Watto

 

[Justcrazy]

Bresnan strikes

 

[Amjid Javed]

Watson throws away another start.

 

[Amjid Javed]

England will be happy with that just before lunch!

 

[Ims1]

42 for 1 & lunch

 

[Justcrazy]

Do have a convict ancestor.

No

 

[HamzaSaeen]

This is a huge problem in Watto's technique- he can't flick it to save his life.

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia trail by 319 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[leatherface58]

Watto you selfish guy! Reminds me of Sehwag in terms of wasting reviews.

 

[majiz]

how many times has watson got out lbw in test match cricket now? must be loads.

 

[Aman]

Does Root mean the same in New Zealand as it does in Australia?

Nope?

 

[Ims1]

if i was the skipper ,i would really let Watto have it for wasting the review . very selfish .

 

[Convict]

how many times has watson got out lbw in test match cricket now? must be loads.

Yep.

Normal Watson innings

1. Look bad for first few overs
2. Start hitting boundaries.
3. Starts chucking the front foot forward to very ball because he thinks he's Don Bradman
4. Get lbw
5. Get suprised and review.

 

[majiz]

if i was the skipper ,i would really let Watto have it for wasting the review . very selfish .

he probably did it to wind him up.

 

[MarkCooper]

Michael Vaughan rarely says anything worthwhile but even he got it right for Watson. "a selfish review".

 

[majiz]

Yep.

Normal Watson innings

1. Look bad for first few overs
2. Start hitting boundaries.
3. Starts chucking the front foot forward to very ball because he thinks he's Don Bradman
4. Get lbw
5. Get suprised and review.

he should stop driving down the ground until he's really got his eye in, he misses that shot all the time.

 

[Captain Podmore]

Watson you muppet!! you saw out Jimmy and Swanny and get out to 'Bresilad' of all people!!

 

[Robert]

How is Brezzylad bowling today? His old zip, or more trundling?

 

[Justcrazy]

Khwaja off the mark

 

[Aman]

A lot of turn for Swann

 

[Justcrazy]

44 / 1

 

[Justcrazy]

50 up

 

[Justcrazy]

Usman needs to score here , big opportunity for him to seal a place.

 

[MarkCooper]

Ahahahahahaha

 

[Sledger]

What a dismissal. )

 

[MarkCooper]

The hell happened there?

 

[Ims1]

50 for 2 & utter stupidity . i thought he was not out.

 

[Aman]

Should have reviewed? Team player, he knew there was one review left.. Respect

 

[Sledger]

Even Swann's embarrassed. One for YouTube, totally humiliating for Australia that.

 

[MarkCooper]

I don't understand, didn't it hit his arm first so not out?

 

[Sledger]

Missing leg by a long way.

 

[Aman]

If Watson didn't waste the review, surely he would have reviewed?

 

[Beast]

Some dismissal..... Should have reviewd it, but the idiot Watson already wasted one.

 

[Aman]

Last time these two batted Hughes ran out Khawaja..

 

[Aman]

Watson accounts for two

 

[MarkCooper]

That is not the umpires fault, I am blaming Watson. Watson cost two wickets.

 

[Convict]

Should have reviewed Rogers

 

[leatherface58]

Watto is a proper idiot isn't he? Umpires are useless but selfish watto accounts for another victim.

 

[Aman]

Like this Rogers guy already, what a team player, he wasn't too sure and didn't want to waste the last review.

 

[James]

Dear oh dear. I'm genuinely embarrassed about that.

The difference in attitude between Chris and Shane is noted! Hopefully Watto cops a lot of flak for this.

 

[Aman]

Khawaja struggles against spin

 

[bill_123]

RESPECT to rogers.....hopin Watson is booted out....useless test bat...average bowler....uses up reviews selfishly....loser

 

[Convict]

That is not the umpires fault, I am blaming Watson. Watson cost two wickets.

Yep. Clarke had it right.
