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

[*sallu*]

Ponting off the mark in style

 

[AZ]

pokes at one, thru slip and gully...good ball from Jimmy.

 

[Sledger]

Very tentaive shot that by Ponting, just poked at it. Off the mark though.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Oh boy Anderson really does give a good name to the small town of Burnley.

 

[*sallu*]

Ponting looking good

 

[Sledger]

That should be the end of James pre-lunch.

Bring on the Swann!

 

[cricfan4ever]

Ponting off the mark!

 

[*sallu*]

defended again

 

[*sallu*]

Single to Katich

 

[*sallu*]

Commentators bashing for letting the singles through

 

[Sledger]

Whats Taylor on, that was never two lol

edit - Ah, he's talking against the fielder.

 

[KingKhanWC]

---->

Sami got him for 0 once and Gul once for 11, hardly a case for going short early. The vast vast majority of Punters low scores have been edged or LBW.

He's looking good for a 100 today.

 

[*sallu*]

hahahh

Aussies having fun with the technology

Words like Stuart Mcgill and Robocop popping up

 

[Sledger]

Ooooh, gloved away.....

 

[*sallu*]

Pull shot gloved away to fine leg for a single

 

[*sallu*]

Solidly defended to cover

 

[Sledger]

Lol, he really struggled against Roach bouncers when WI were there. When Pakistan came Amir had him out to short bowling once or twice as well as several miscues and Asif had him out to a bouncer first or second ball at Hobart which was dropped by Amir in the deep.

 

[*sallu*]

Left alone

 

[*sallu*]

Beaten all ends up

 

[AZ]

jaffa from Jimmy, beats Punter all ends up.

 

[*sallu*]

Still no Swann

 

[Sledger]

Good ball, just held its line.. beats Ponting.

 

[KingKhanWC]

lol. He's one if not the greatest pullers of the cricket ball.

Your strength can be your weakness sometimes.

Anderson pitching it up now, looks a lot more dangerous.

 

[AZ]

squared him up...lol @ Ponting looks good for a 100.

 

[*sallu*]

Aussie batting deterioration shown

 

[Sledger]

Anderson bowling very well.

 

[Sledger]

lol. He's one if not the greatest pullers of the cricket ball.

was.

 

[*sallu*]

On the pads Ponting misses out

 

[Random Aussie]

Are they afraid to bowl Swan? And Finn?

 

[KingKhanWC]

squared him up...lol @ Ponting looks good for a 100.

lol coming from a fan.

 

[*sallu*]

On the pads again and Ponting connects for the single this time

 

[*sallu*]

Swann will probably bowl the last over before lunch now

 

[*sallu*]

1/91

Last over before lunch coming up probably

 

[AZ]

Swann time.

 

[*sallu*]

Finally Swann

 

[*sallu*]

Turn first up

Was a loosener though

 

[Sledger]

Finally..

 

[AZ]

lol coming from a fan.

you've already been pwned once matey, why push it.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Are they afraid to bowl Swan? And Finn?

They've bottled it mate. Need to look at Punter to see what courage is.

 

[*sallu*]

On the pads, single taken

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

finally catty swann on.

 

[IAJ]

He does Get alot of turn doesn't he.

 

[*sallu*]

Solidly defended

 

[Sledger]

Interesting that he's hardly getting any drift with these first few balls.

 

[AZ]

instant turn for Swann...

 

[*sallu*]

oooh

good ball that

 

[AZ]

appeal... not interested.

 

[Sledger]

Some drift 5th ball - encouraging.

 

[AZ]

nervy cut from Punter...OVERTHROWS! )

 

[*sallu*]

that was very risky for 3 runs

 

[Sledger]

Ooooow, that was RISKY. :umarakmalesque

3 is the result and thats lunch.

 

[AZ]

and that's lunch.

 

[Noork85]

Nicely played

 

[Sledger]

96/1.

 

[*sallu*]

Definitely Australias Session

 

[JellyBro]

lunch

 

[James]

I thought Jimmy bowled very well, but the pitch looks proper flat

 

[ads101]

I thought Jimmy bowled very well, but the pitch looks proper flat

yeah he did. He's started bowling better away these days.

Haven't changed my views on broad though. Kept things economical today but looked unthreatening.

 

[AZ]

couple of mins till the start of the 2nd session.

Swann was getting some good turn, need to start with him.

Strauss has overbowled Anderson IMO.

 

[cricfan4ever]

Ponting to hit a 100!

 

[Sledger]

Ponting and Katich are back out there.

 

[Sledger]

Ponting out.

 

[AZ]

Punter's gone! England strike back! rubbish delivery, gets a faint tickle and caught down the legside.

 

[James]

clkjnfknjkwdndwnlkndkljwneklj!!!!!!

 

[OZGOD]

for Dubya, great start after lunch for Jimmy

 

[Strike!]

Ponting. )

 

[Sledger]

Anderson's celebrations have been pretty lame throughout his two wickets here. Needs to step up.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Punter ***! Nooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[ads101]

unlucky pointing.

Oh well, can't complain

 

[cricfan4ever]

damn it! noooooooo Punter gone!

 

[Sledger]

Not much batting to come. Just Clarke and then the old mans club (Katich still there).

 

[Sledger]

Clarke beaten outside off first ball.

 

[Random Aussie]

Gah, only 1 batsman left.

 

[James]

Jimmy you beauty! nearly snares clarke with a jaffa

 

[Sledger]

Anderson getting the ball going both ways here. Aus could be bowled out today.

 

[James]

Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy. I apologise. By far our best seamer.

 

[Sledger]

Australia need a big lead here. Swann will be near impossible day 5, big spin and quick off the track.

 

[Sledger]

Finn.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Clarke can't be feeling the same with a bad back.

 

[KingKhanWC]

australia need a big lead here. Swann will be near impossible day 5, big spin and quick off the track.

150?
