England vs Australia | 4th Ashes Test | Chester-le-Street | 10/8/13 | Day 2

[OZGOD]

Start of play soon. 9/238. Ashton Anderson and Phil Bresnan at the crease.

 

[PakistaniBoomBoom]

Cant wait to See Warner batting and pulling a few to root.

Same here

 

[OZGOD]

We don't want these two bunnies to do an Agar.

 

[OZGOD]

We need Sid Vicious to give Jimmy a throat ball. Or better yet something that hits him on the gloves and breaks a finger on his bowling hand

 

[OZGOD]

Come on Sid, try and injure Jimmy if you can. Legally of course

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership worth 24 runs now

 

[leatherface58]

Bird listened to you OzGod.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

238 all out

 

[OZGOD]

innings wrapped up for 238. I'm happy. I will be happier if our batting order of sh1tkickers can take advantage.

 

[Nuekboi]

Australia mop up Anderson quickly.

Why is Gower and Beefy praising Bird for bowling to Anderson

 

[OZGOD]

Good bowling from Larry Legend.

 

[OZGOD]

Australia mop up Anderson quickly.

Why is Gower and Beefy praising Bird for bowling to Anderson

Anderson was 84 short of his ton when he was bowled by Bird

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies need to get a lead of 120 - 150 runs here at least

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia has set the game up well , now batsmen have to score runs.

 

[OZGOD]

They should've roughed up Jimmy a bit before taking his wicket IMO. Try and hit him on the head and hands a few more times. Legally of course

 

[Robert]

Let's see how AUS go on this deck.

 

[Justcrazy]

Warner walks out with Rogers

 

[Ims1]

This certainly was no sub 250 pitch . If Aus get to 350 ,they would certainly fancy their chances .

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies should look to bat out two days at least here.

 

[OZGOD]

Bairstow saves a run. I'd forgotten he was playing.

 

[OZGOD]

I should probably go to bed soon to get a few hours worth of kip. Been a big night and the sauce is catching up to me now...

 

[Justcrazy]

2 / 0

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms need Anderson to strike early here

 

[Nuekboi]

Warner gets a ripper from Broad

 

[MarkCooper]

Warner clean bowled by Broad

 

[Justcrazy]

outttttttttttttt

 

[Robert]

Eat that, Rocky!

 

[Ims1]

useless Warner is out .

 

[OZGOD]

Cowlasher #1 is

 

[Gunther]

Broad's got his game face on. Expect another one of those spells from his today

 

[James]

Bowled Broady.

Warner is talented but he is a gambit, he either gets 100 or 1.

 

[Random Aussie]

useless Warner is out .

And useless Khawaja is in. *sigh*

 

[OZGOD]

Woeful "shot" from Warner. I still don't think he's the answer at the top of the order and nothing I've seen in this series has changed my mind. Too much of a cowlasher for mine.

 

[OZGOD]

Uzzy needs a ton. He's not going to be given the latitude Inzy was given. Our team can't carry anyone.

 

[MarkCooper]

Khawaja is your Bairstow

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia trail by 226 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[MarkCooper]

Never, EVER, Judge a pitch until both teams have batted.

 

[Nuekboi]

The first Pakistani to play in the Ashes gets out again.

120 all out is expected

 

[Justcrazy]

UT Khawaja c †Prior b Broad 0 (6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

 

[OZGOD]

Uzzy out for a duck. Won't help his cause.

 

[Aman]

Never, EVER, Judge a pitch until both teams have batted.

It's different from yesterday for sure... just look at the first 2 overs from Aus..

 

[Random Aussie]

And useless Khawaja is in. *sigh*

And useless Khawaja is out No offence but he's garbage.

 

[OZGOD]

That was a truly bad leave from Khawaja. They should film that and show it to kids in the under-9s as an example of what not to do.

 

[OZGOD]

Here comes Clarke, opening the innings

 

[OZGOD]

England with their tails up

 

[Gunther]

Broadeyyyy! My god, I could watch him all day when he is bowling those lengths! I wouln't expect Pup to last long time here

 

[Aman]

Anderson bowling some filth in between some good balls? And people call him the best

 

[OZGOD]

Streaky edge through the slips for

 

[chacha kashmiri]

looks like broad shouldn't have been dropped for tremlett after all

 

[PakistaniBoomBoom]

Clarke for a century today, and a big one!

 

[Random Aussie]

Here comes Clarke, opening the innings

Yah we sent two nightwatchmen out first

 

[Aman]

Definitely better bowling conditions today

 

[OZGOD]

beautiful shot by Rogers played off his pads down to fine leg

 

[OZGOD]

Yah we sent two nightwatchmen out first

It's going to be a bit of survival till lunch I reckon

 

[Saurav]

back to usual stuff

 

[James]

It's warm and humid up North today, whereas yesterday it was sunny and breezy after the rain. Risky but brave decision to bat first, because the ball will move today.

Khawaja is pants. Excuses are running out for his Pakistani supporters.

 

[Aman]

This should give hope to trundlers around the world - as long as there's swing there's hope!

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia trail by 210 runs with 8 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Gunther]

looks like broad shouldn't have been dropped for tremlett after all

Brining in a half cooked Tremlett for Broad when the series is still alive would have been right up there with the decision to play Darren Pattinson in 2008.

Broad is rubbish without the proper conditions, wheres the excuses for him?

 

[Aman]

Pitching outside Barbie

 

[OZGOD]

Inside edge runs away down to fine leg for

streaky shot

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Thats was very close.

 

[Aman]

Waste of a review..

 

[Random Aussie]

Broad must really irritate English supporters on these days when he remembers how to bowl. Like what the hell is he doing 80% of the time in Test cricket.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aussies 2 down early as per usual and struggling. No shock here... i can see the aussies folding here for around 150.

 

[Aman]

What a waste from Barbie

Yea Khawaja looks very ordinary. The problem is that the only viable replacement for him in this tour is Hughes

 

[Nuekboi]

And England wastes a review.

Cook better hope Aus are ready to walk now

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wasted review from broad, as per usual he got over excited!

 

[Aman]

Any half decent bowler would do the same with these conditions..

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies need a good partnership here

 

[OZGOD]

Pitched outside leg and England have done an Australia and wasted a review. I reckon that was more strategic than hopeful, they wanted another wicket bad

 

[Amjid Javed]

Rogers hits 4, he seems like hes just going to play his shots which is good to see!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Rogers gone! caught behind!

Review time....

 

[Aman]

This should be interesting

 

[Justcrazy]

Khawja is over rated here on this forum , he is very average batsman.

 

[Aman]

Pad?
