The Ashes | 1st Test | Brisbane | Day 2 | 26/11/10

[Sledger]

The North in. England into the tail.

 

[oracleg]

Clarke put out of his misery...been out of form for ages, surely Khwaja or someone else deserves a chance.

 

[Noork85]

Therre should be some changes in the line up for the next test

 

[Random Aussie]

Oh god it's Marcus North, the score is under 200 so get on him for a low score.

 

[*sallu*]

LOL, weird looking defense, but middled it

 

[Sledger]

Looks like a number 11 first ball with that horrible defensive shot.

 

[*sallu*]

North looking switched on

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Clarke put out of his misery...been out of form for ages, surely Khwaja or someone else deserves a chance.

according to schickelgruber the forum legend, khawaja should be called a traitor for not playing for Pakistan )

 

[*sallu*]

North off the mark

 

[Noork85]

Terrible stuff from australia

 

[Sledger]

The North off the mark with one.

Swann coming for him next over though.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

why is Ian Botham always so bitter? Whippy can you help us with this? He is always whining?

also BS selection is not only confined to PCB...why did clarke play this game? pathetic batting

 

[*sallu*]

Swann vs North?

Should be interesting

 

[Poison]

North is too jumpy. Swann is going to kill him.

 

[Noork85]

Exactly!

 

[Sledger]

Almost lobs it to short leg.

Off the pad though, not good enough to get the bat on it eh?

 

[Random Aussie]

There will be ramifications for Clarke here. Rumblings already starting. Put himself ahead of the team.

119 behind!

 

[kingusama92]

If England don't get North early - he could get a huge one as usual.

 

[tauseefm]

Come on guys, need a big partnership.


And North goneeee!!!

 

[*sallu*]

North getting set up for the LBW

 

[cricfan967]

Gone. Swann strikes

 

[CricnPak]

Swann wins the battle. Haddin in.

 

[Strike!]

Collapse time for aussies.

 

[iHammad]

north gone
swann strikes

 

[*sallu*]

)

 

[Sledger]

The North gone. Regulation. Was always going to happen. Dreadful bat.

 

[UP]

North gone!

 

[*sallu*]

Khawaja warming up?

 

[cricfan967]

Whata stunning contest

 

[kingusama92]

Oh dear.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Get in - swann strikes

 

[Sledger]

North wouldn't make the current Pakistan batting side tbh.

 

[Noork85]

Wow, just wow

 

[Random Aussie]

Oh FFS North

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

pathetic batting continues by Australia

this is what happens when you bat like retards and go 2 runs an over on pitches where the ball actually comes on to the bat but you bat like girls and are too scared to express yourselves...they only scored 260 but by the look of australia 1 would think england scored 500+

 

[Poison]

North seriously cannot bat.

 

[Sledger]

This is what happens when you have OAPs filling your middle order.

 

[*sallu*]

North wouldn't make the current Pakistan batting side tbh.

LOL, is there any bigger insult to an Aussie top 6

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Whippy you must be happier now?

 

[Poison]

I was waiting for the sprinkler celebration

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

LMAO whats with north's posing after the dismissal?

haha this guy couldn't score against Pakistan with the help of spot fixers...LOL why is he in the teaM?

 

[oracleg]

according to schickelgruber the forum legend, khawaja should be called a traitor for not playing for Pakistan )

He's definitely not rooting for england then!

Swann gets north Too many walking wickets in this Aussie side.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

North wouldn't make the current Pakistan batting side tbh.

That says it all really

Khawaja for the next test?

 

[Random Aussie]

Please let that be the end of Marcus North. What an embarassment this guy has become.

 

[Sledger]

If England can get Aus out for under 100 lead, they should win the game.

 

[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

latest exchange prices:

Aussies 4/5 (4/9 at start of play today)

England 13/8 (5/1)

Draw 9/1 (11/2)

i'm on England for £300 at just over 5/2 and i could trade out for a guaranteed profit but for now i'm happy to let it run

 

[tauseefm]

Whippy you must be happier now?

Aus is still going to get 50+ runs lead

 

[Noork85]

They dont like theyll make 200 unfortunately

 

[Poison]

LMAO whats with north's posing after the dismissal?

haha this guy couldn't score against Pakistan with the help of spot fixers...LOL why is he in the teaM?

I saw that too lol Was he expecting the ump to say Swann just turns it straight to slip? :aali

 

[Sledger]

Great pull by Hussey again. Four more to him.

 

[cricfan967]

Shot!

 

[*sallu*]

If England can get Aus out for under 100 lead, they should win the game.

LOL, thats not gonna happen

 

[cricfan967]

Never lost interest in this test match for even a minute!

 

[Random Aussie]

They dont like theyll make 200 unfortunately

Our tail can bat. Our middle order can't.

 

[UP]

Aus's hopes rest on Hussey.

 

[IT_Khumbee]

Our tail can bat. Our middle order can't.

RA...tumhari team tu gayoo

 

[Random Aussie]

I am not a fan of Haddin but I will love him if he biffs a quick 50 here.

 

[kingusama92]

Never lost interest in this test match for even a minute!

This is great test cricket.

Ashes always provide such matches.

 

[Sledger]

Aus is still going to get 50+ runs lead

Peanuts.

 

[jattafridi]

predict Australia score ?
i say 289

 

[Noork85]

Our tail can bat. Our middle order can't.

I really hope so. Alot rests on hussey! Looking good so far

 

[*sallu*]

Haddin won't score, gut instinct

 

[*sallu*]

Australia will end up in the (plus minus 20) 300 region

 

[yadunoe]

north truly sucks, khawaja needs to be given a chance he has a good average in shield cricket

 

[strongman123]

siddle still to come and hussey out there looking good, potential great escape 2.0? I hope so

 

[*sallu*]

Hussey looking nice and positive but I think hes going to throw it away soon

 

[*sallu*]

oooh beaten all ends up

 

[Random Aussie]

Worst thing about that was we had Swann in trouble with Hussey dominating him. Then Clarke lets him dry up the runs and North gives up a wicket. Advantage lost.

Looks like it's going to be a good series though.,

 

[Sledger]

The North held the pose for the photographers after the ball was caught by slip. Another one for the living room wall.

 

[*sallu*]

Pressure mounting

 

[yadunoe]

micheal "pakistani-killer" hussey will save them

 

[ddss]

woooooooooooo England is back in the game

 

[Sledger]

Can Doherty bat?

 

[cricfan967]

Cracking straight drive by Haddin, four

 

[Sledger]

What a shot by Haddin. Straight hit for four.

 

[*sallu*]

What.A.Shot
:4

 

[Random Aussie]

Haddin...good boy

 

[yadunoe]

Can Doherty bat?

I herd he can bat a little though hes not an allrounder

 

[Random Aussie]

Can Doherty bat?

Yep. They all can bat a bit in our lower order.

 

[Sledger]

Another solid drive, gets 3.

Haddin thinks its a fun.
