The Ashes | 1st Test | Brisbane | 29/11/10 | Day 5

[AZ]

poor Ricky, his brain must be about to explode )

 

[Zaheer Abbas's Fan]

If I was England I would fancy having a dash to bowl oz out in 55 overs on this wicket. Go for quick runs until then, set 230 or so.

 

[AZ]

Trott moves into the 90s...

 

[Sledger]

Is this the first time Aus have faced 400+/1?

[Sledger]

2 more to Cook. Racing towards 200.

 

[Sledger]

Alistair

 

[AZ]

too full, easy boundary for Cook.

 

[OZGOD]

last 10 ovs have gone for 66 runs!

They're looking for an unlosable target to set. I'm sure that winning is secondary in England's mind - the absolute essential thing they want to do is make some major inroads into the OZ batting and create all kinds of question marks before Adelaide.

 

[AZ]

maiden over from North!

 

[*sallu*]

It could be, thanks Sledge

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

North should warrant a place as a bowler alone.

 

[Sledger]

Will we see the century or the double century first?

 

[Noman]

Bollinger is the only good bowler Aus have

 

[Noman]

no top 10 batsman in ICC ranking for Aus! first time in history !

 

[Noork85]

Whens the new ball due? (not that itll make much of a diff at this ot)

 

[*sallu*]

Cookie 194

 

[AZ]

late cut, goes even finer because of an inside edge.

 

[Noman]

Will we see the century or the double century first?

double

 

[OZGOD]

no top 10 batsman in ICC ranking for Aus! first time in history !

That's funny as I actually think our batting is way better than our bowling.

 

[AZ]

full toss, dispatched over midwicket, thank you very much.

[Sledger]

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Cook on 199

 

[Sledger]

[oracleg]

Just tuned in to see Trott on his way to a hundred.

I don't want him to get a hundred

Will be hilarious if he gets out on 99 though!

 

[Sledger]

199* now.

 

[AZ]

Cook on 199 Trott on 93.

 

[Noork85]

Here comes cookS double century

 

[Sledger]

Trott on strike now. Cook on 199*..

 

[Usman]

Just needs one more for that double! Sensational stuff by England.

 

[AZ]

Cook on strike now...

 

[Noork85]

Cook on strike

 

[Noork85]

That pitch looks hideous.

 

[Noork85]

Its in terrible shape, suprised nothing has happened

 

[MC]

England fans getting their cameras ready.

 

[*sallu*]

Cook 200

 

[Sledger]

Double hundred on Australian soil by Cook. What an effort!!!

 

[AZ]

there it is!!!

Cook you beauty!

 

[Sledger]

What a gift to get as well by Prof. X.

What a knock!

 

[MC]

Cook's maiden double hundred in Test cricket.

Well played Cookie

 

[*sallu*]

sounding sad in describing it

He was so excited at Hussey's 100

 

[Noork85]

I found husseys innings more exciting

 

[OZGOD]

Just think this couldve been 500 for no loss if Strauss hadn't been out lol

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Cook double century!

 

[hamzie]

So when someone scores a double century does it count as 1 century for his career or two

 

[tauseefm]

Great inning and very well played A Cook!!!

 

[AZ]

Aussie bowlers have been mentally raped by England.

 

[Sledger]

So when someone scores a double century does it count as 1 century for his career or two

Just the one.

 

[OZGOD]

The top 3 will all get tons

 

[Noork85]

Now trotts century. It is great stuff to have the top 3 score centuries, something for ponting to think about

 

[oracleg]

Well done Alaistar

Not often you get a double century scored against Australia in Australia.

 

[Usman]

This has to be one of the greatest displays of batting in test cricket history. Truly exceptional.

 

[Sledger]

95* Trott.

 

[cricfan4ever]

exceptional knock from Cook...

 

[MC]

Would be funny if Trott doing all the hard work gets out on 99. lol

 

[*sallu*]

This is pwnage of the extreme

 

[Noman]

England should go all out now., give Aus to bat 45 over and make 300 runs...
Bowl bouncer after bouncer and just frustate the Aus team...

 

[Looney]

i hate seeing batsmen dominating like this

 

[Sledger]

260

481

1/434.. )

 

[Noork85]

Whens the new ball due?

 

[Saqs]

Bring Warney Back.

 

[Sledger]

Trott onto 97*

 

[Noman]

So when someone scores a double century does it count as 1 century for his career or two

1 BhaI

 

[AZ]

pls God let Trott not get a 100 )

 

[Looney]

Cook should declare and let other English batsmen improve their records now

 

[JibranAnsari]

Whens the new ball due?

28 ovrs tov go

 

[Noman]

Whens the new ball due?

160 overs bro.. DO u think Aus will take it?? no way..

 

[cricfan4ever]

the result may read a Draw after today but England has dominated Australia in last 2 days to mentally thrash them...I can't rmbr Aussies getting man handled like this at home ever!

 

[Noork85]

I hope trott doesnt take forever to get his 100 now

 

[Noork85]

And he gets it

 

[*sallu*]

Ouch, one more hundred

 

[Sledger]

Century to Trott.

 

[Noork85]

Oh yikes, he should put that helmet back on, his baldness is awful

 

[AZ]

) ) )

100 for the Ape

and he celebrates like he won the World Cup! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

what a douche!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Trott gets his hundred!

 

[Sledger]

3 batsmen, 4 hundreds. )

 

[MC]

100 for Trott.

Well played.

 

[OZGOD]

Ton for Trott to go with ton for Strauss and double ton for Cook. Will they keep batting on to get a lead of 300?
