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

[Noork85]

3 runs

 

[pinger]

I hope someone has the sticky tape for when Finn snaps in half.

 

[*sallu*]

: England have been very cocky

 

[Sledger]

"England have been very cocky"

-

Legend. He's not having any of it.

 

[Noork85]

Katich 27
Watto 21

 

[OZGOD]

England bowling hasn't looked impressive so far. When will Strauss bring Swann on?

 

[pinger]

Dogscratch with a typically ugly, but effective start.

 

[cricfan4ever]

Finn will finally be shown his aukaat by a far more competent batting side...

 

[*sallu*]

What a shot

 

[KingKhanWC]

Watson on fire. 4!

3 50 stands in a row for these two.

 

[Noork85]

Lolol @ warne He said it to kp so many times already

 

[AZ]

CRACK! smashed down the ground by Watto, lovely shot.

 

[James]

Watson playing well here.

 

[*sallu*]

PC FINN ftw

 

[Sledger]

Shot!

 

[Noork85]

Beauty

 

[AZ]

ahhh, should've put that one away as well.

 

[OZGOD]

for Twatto, straight down the ground. The White Irfan is being hammered.

 

[*sallu*]

Another 4 ball there

Watson frustrated at missing out

 

[*sallu*]

Rubbish start for PC Finn

 

[Sledger]

Nothing over that, just floaty stuff. We'll give him the benefit for now, first over and all.

 

[pinger]

England bowling hasn't looked impressive so far. When will Strauss bring Swann on?

Ha, it's like when we had

I just used to sit around waiting for the great man.

 

[Khabri420]

Aur maro Finn ko. Totally deserves it

 

[*sallu*]

Tony Greig: Well left

 

[JellyBro]

nice straight drive from watson

 

[pinger]

Shane Watson really does have an exceptionally pretty straight/cover drive. No homo.

 

[Sledger]

Has the wicket quickened up from yesterday?

 

[Random Aussie]

Hmmm same old English bowling so far...

 

[*sallu*]

Defended straight back

 

[OZGOD]

Bambi toiling away courageously

 

[Random Aussie]

Has the wicket quickened up from yesterday?

It usually does on day 2 and 3.

 

[Sledger]

No homo? I didn't know gays were into cricket shots as well as men.

 

[*sallu*]

Commentators hyping Broad

 

[shan]

Damn when did Ponting average go that low? I remember once he reached almost 60.

 

[OZGOD]

Ha, it's like when we had

I just used to sit around waiting for the great man.

I'm enjoying commentary so far. Shame Tony Greig is talking about twice as much as he is with half the sense.

 

[*sallu*]

Katich takes it on the body

Signalled dead ball

 

[Sledger]

Bowling some good bouncers here, swing has pretty much gone.

 

[Sledger]

Damn when did Ponting average go that low? I remember once he reached almost 60.

He was averaging 60 during the last Ashes in Australia I think.

 

[pinger]

Watching Katich bat makes my eyeballs bleed. Oh well, still very effective.

 

[*sallu*]

Left alone by Simon

 

[James]

going to be a long day

 

[AZ]

first hour almost up.

1 - 0

 

[OZGOD]

just called Krapich a gorilla! )

 

[*sallu*]

: I don't have much body hair, especially on the back

Bill Lawry: Thankfully thats the end of the over

)

 

[Sledger]

Swann for Broad next over at that end.

 

[James]

good delivery from Finn. come on lad, you need to bowl well today.

 

[*sallu*]

First half a decent ball by PC Finn

 

[GOAT]

LOL wow, the end of the weirdest commentary I've heard ever

 

[ads101]

England bowling hasn't looked impressive so far. When will Strauss bring Swann on?

England's bowling just isn't good. Swann is but the rest are dire.

Broad is average, Anderson is very good at home. Finn doesn't look like a great prospect.

I'm sick of England just sticking with these fast bowlers. They're all domestic bullys, the English conditions are probably the best bowling conditions in the world.

Broad is terrible. Doesn't even average under 30 at home.



Until England start to select fast bowlers that can prove themselves home and away, England will never get to no.1. It's so frustrating really.

 

[*sallu*]

Better start to the over for PC Finn

 

[Sledger]

Finn was smashed about by , I think he's the big weak link here.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I'm enjoying commentary so far. Shame Tony Greig is talking about twice as much as he is with half the sense.

At least he isn't a drug abusing "weather advisor".

 

[Sledger]

Inside edge for one.

 

[*sallu*]

Thick inside edge and single to Watson

 

[AZ]

there you go Finn, keep it there!

pitched up, inside edge squirts away to square leg.

 

[*sallu*]

Defended to point by Katich

 

[James]

England bowling has been surprisingly economical, but unthreatening. eek.

 

[pinger]

I'm enjoying commentary so far. Shame Tony Greig is talking about twice as much as he is with half the sense.

I'm not always certain Tony is watching the same game as me. I have seen him get Gilchrist and Steve Waugh mixed up. ***?

 

[Sledger]

First good ball by Finn. Played well by Katich though.

 

[*sallu*]

there you go Finn, keep it there!

pitched up, inside edge squirts away to square leg.

If he keeps it there, Watson will keep smacking him all day around

Hes excellent of the driving ball

 

[*sallu*]

unthreatening

 

[*sallu*]

Better over

Just 1 off by PC

 

[Sledger]

Should give Swann an over before drinks, just to see whats on offer for him in the wicket and if Aus want to attack.

 

[AZ]

If he keeps it there, Watson will keep smacking him all day around

Hes excellent of the driving ball

wasn't full enough for the full blooded drive.

 

[JellyBro]

bring in Swann already

 

[Kriketer]

Barbie is bowling really well.

Bring on the Swann.

 

[pinger]

unthreatening

You say potato, I say potato

 

[*sallu*]

Jimmy in again

No swann

 

[OZGOD]

*** why aren't we drowning out those drunken Poms singing God Save The Queen with a rousing version of Waltzing Matilda???

 

[*sallu*]

warne: surprised Swann isn't bowling

 

[*sallu*]

: Don't overbowl the quicks

 

[AZ]

Jimmy changes ends.

 

[*sallu*]

: Struass misses a trick

 

[OZGOD]

At least he isn't a drug abusing "weather advisor".

Well at least doesn't ask black people to grovel like a certain Saffa born England captain did

 

[*sallu*]

0/58

Great start now for Aussies

 

[*sallu*]

Most of the movement has also dried out right now

 

[cricfan967]

Good Cricket so far by the Aussies.

 

[*sallu*]

Jimmy averages 57 against Aus with a strike rate of 91

)

 

[cricfan4ever]

Anderson vs Aussies stats = )

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

These conditions will test the pommie bowlers. It wont be easy as knocking over pakistan for less than 150 in swing friendly conditions.
