England vs Australia | 3rd Ashes Test | Old Trafford | 05/8/13 | Day 5

[MarkCooper]

Rain is forecast all day. If the weather holds true, England retain the Ashes.

 

[Aman]

Any news of a declaration?

 

[MarkCooper]

Nothing official. But surely they have declared.

England will not try and chase 330 down on the last day. We are a defensive team (hell we are a defensive country). We would not even try and chase 300 down.

Just dig in and grind it out.

 

[Justcrazy]

England require another 332 runs with 10 wickets remaining

 

[LegendAli]

Cook gone on 0. )

 

[Justcrazy]

Cook out for duck

 

[Justcrazy]

review.

 

[Justcrazy]

Cook knows this can be crucial.

 

[Aman]

Jinxed Cook

 

[Justcrazy]

He has to go .............

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies pumped up.

 

[Justcrazy]

A couple more wickets here , would spice things up further.

 

[Sakss]

hope aussies win for the sake of keeping the series alive..

 

[Justcrazy]

2 / 1 after 4 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

I want Aussies to win ........

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms still have the edge , they bat really deep.

Aussies need a dream spell from some one her.

 

[Justcrazy]

"I have to say after watching Cook over the last few months I think his use of the review system, when batting, shows as much selfishness and poor judgement as Watson. He is clearly another who simply does not believe he can be out LBW." He's got one or two wrong, Dan, that much is true

[Sakss]

10-1 starc bowling beautifully

 

[Justcrazy]

[Ashraful_Rox]

England's defensive tactics are pretty boring

 

[Justcrazy]

Come on Aussies one more.

 

[Aman]

England's defensive tactics are pretty boring

England are the most boring team in the world..

 

[Haroon786]

Inevitably its giing to be drawn.

 

[Justcrazy]

England's defensive tactics are pretty boring

boring but effective

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

boring but effective

Score 100 from 50 overs, nap time

It always brings me to sleep zzzzz

 

[Robert]

England are the most boring team in the world..

Hmm, so are you some sort of hobbit-troll hybrid?

If you stay up until the sunrise, do you turn to stone?

 

[Robert]

Rain is forecast all day. If the weather holds true, England retain the Ashes.

Satellite pix suggest that the rainheads have swung a point of two north of easterly and are missing Manchester.

 

[Aman]

Hmm, so are you some sort of hobbit-troll hybrid?

If you stay up until the sunrise, do you turn to stone?

Name one team that's worse? If it weren't for KP no one would watch the 'English' bat and I'm using the word 'English' loosely here.

 

[saiyan0312]

england going for a draw. no shocker there.

 

[Nuekboi]

Umpire's call strikes again

 

[Robert]

Name one team that's worse?

NZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[MarkCooper]

Umpire should have given that out in the first place.

 

[Aman]

NZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Rutherford, Ryder, Mccullum, Taylor and Williamson?... Err?

 

[MarkCooper]

I just feel its going to be Australia's day and will win.

The planets in the universe are all in alignment. Even the weather forecasts were wrong.

 

[Aman]

Umpire should have given that out in the first place.

Looked out... Tony Hill doing NZ proud

 

[Nuekboi]

Saffer number 1 gifts his wicket!

 

[Vitaly]

Trott gone! C'mon Aussies!

 

[Gunther]

Bloody leg side strangles. Send Cook and Trott back to grade cricket. :dopey:

 

[saiyan0312]

dont tell me england will choke in this.

 

[Nuekboi]

Chasing leg side deliveries when you are playing for a draw

 

[Aman]

Something tells me KP will fall cheaply here.

 

[Aman]

First time I've heard an english commie call something awesome about England's batting, it's a dead give away that the saffa is batting

 

[Aman]

Can't remember the last time I saw Clarke drop a catch

 

[Nuekboi]

OOOOOOOOOH! How much will this cost Australia?

 

[Nuekboi]

Something tells me KP will fall cheaply here.

I think he'll make a quickfire 50

 

[saiyan0312]

drops... the deciders between winnings and losing.,

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Clarke has just dropped the urn

 

[Nuekboi]

Pietersen being forced to respect Lyon

 

[Nuekboi]

Drop has cost 3 runs so far

 

[Aman]

Not out imo

 

[Aman]

There was a sound

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

not out for me

 

[Justcrazy]

England require another 305 runs with 8 wickets remaining

 

[Nuekboi]

Decision will be overturned for sure

 

[Justcrazy]

Not out

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

God why why why kp?

 

[Ims1]

I have a feeling if we could have 50 more overs of play from here , Aus will win .

 

[Aman]

Was out imo pretty close to bat and there was a noise - fair enough

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Hahah karmaaaaaaaa !

 

[Sandeep]

[Ashraful_Rox]

[Nuekboi]

Ooooooooooh! Pietersen gets a Khawaja, and Australia get a huge huge wicket!

 

[Sandeep]

Any more DRS supporters left?

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Aman]

Something tells me KP will fall cheaply here.

[RehanG]

Strange Drs is good these umpires are joke

 

[saiyan0312]

well now that was surprising and they have lost peterson and their review.

 

[Aman]

Poms deserve it ........ Third Umpires spicing up the game

It was out

 

[Nuekboi]

However, Siddle looking like a demon, he's created an opportunity already

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Dharmasena should be the man of the match

 

[Convict]

Great decision by the worlds best umpire last year

 

[Sandeep]

Clearly out. Snicko confirmed it. Khawaja was unlucky.

 

[Ims1]

27 for 3 .

 

[saiyan0312]
