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

[Sledger]

Aleem on fire.

 

[Fawad2010]

Aleem Dar, you sir are a legend!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Take a bow Mr Aleem Dar, another brilliant decision by the umpire of the year.

 

[JellyBro]

Aleem Dar for President! :dar

 

[UP]

To be honest it did not looked out in real time.

Just a hasty decision in my opinion from England.

 

[insaaniyat]

Awesome umpiring by Aleem Dar. Wow I am impressed

 

[cricfan4ever]

make or break moment here...

time for Clarke & Hussey to put on clutch batting performance...

oh Clarke nearly gone there, great decision from Dar, and UDRS confirms it!

 

[JellyBro]

Might have been out. Not picked up by hotspot.

nah. Clark would have looked back if had nicked it

 

[KingKhanWC]

No more reviews for England.

 

[insaaniyat]

To be honest it did not looked out in real time.

Just a hasty decision in my opinion from England.

Well still he could have been pressured to give out.

 

[Sledger]

England are out of reviews btw.

 

[GOAT]

lol technology fail for England. They might be 3 down, but I'm backing England at this point.

 

[James]

on balance, England probably a bit unlucky to not have 4 or 5 down. Clarke and Hussey look rabbish.

 

[Sledger]

Oooh, another inswinger. You feel Anderson can take another wicket here in quick time. Looking very dangerous..

 

[spoiled]

just look at how consistently they are bowling full now...if only all the bowlers bowled full
i've always wondered that when looking at bowelers like umar gul..when u know a bowler can bowl full but he doesn't...never been able to understnd why

 

[James]

Boycott slamming Clarke

 

[Sledger]

Outswinger this time. Beaten.

 

[KingKhanWC]

This situation needs some counter attack. zy

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

seriously Clarke? you suck

 

[Fawad2010]

Aus need a partnership of 70-80 runs at this point!

 

[James]

the ball is moving a fair bit...got to take some more wickets in this session

 

[James]

Anderson 18-8-36-2

amazing.

 

[spoiled]

i knew it...snicko would show different
but thats not included in udrs...LOL

 

[Sledger]

Must have been Clarke's bat handle.

 

[cricfan4ever]

need a counterattack...defense won't help...

 

[KingKhanWC]

That snicko line wasn't an edge.

 

[James]

grrrrr Finn. blown it.

 

[Sledger]

Too short. Hit for 4 by Hussey.

 

[kingusama92]

What a battle.

Now this test is starting to get spicy.

 

[Noork85]

Nice :hussey

 

[jattafridi]

 

[UP]

Snicko meter showing he nicked it!

 

[GOAT]

ooo nice pull shot by Hussey!

 

[KingKhanWC]

What a shot, kept his eyes on it after it hit the bat. )

 

[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

English bowlers had shredded wheat for lunch imo

 

[Wised up]

Strauss is doing an excellent job. Any other captain would have brought swann ito the attack but he persisted with his fast bowlers and got wickets. Great stuff!

 

[James]

this is proper test cricket, none of your subcontinental pap.

 

[Sledger]

These two are the last recognised pair.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Snicko meter showing he nicked it!

Na the ball wasn't close to the bat when the line came up and the edge line is always sharper and taller. bat handle.

 

[cricfan4ever]

that was a Ferocious Pull Shot from Huss...

 

[Sledger]

Broad on, replaces Anderson.

 

[Fawad2010]

this is proper test cricket, none of your subcontinental pap.

Oh, I hope so. You guys had 130+ years to get it right!!!

Edit: make that 200+

 

[Sledger]

Problem with bringin on Swann is that these two are probably the best players of [off]spin Aus have.

 

[James]

session: 8 overs, 10 runs, 2 wickets.

gun.

come on now Stuart.

 

[KingKhanWC]

this is proper test cricket, none of your subcontinental pap.

lol.

Broad on, can he keep up the pressure?

 

[*sallu*]

Clarke 1(25)

 

[Sledger]

Ffs, Broad needs to bowl straight.

 

[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

England were 5/1 at start of play today, now half that price at 5/2 ish

 

[*sallu*]

Clarke 1(26)

 

[Fawad2010]

Broad may have a niggle. According to commentator, its around Achilles area.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Problem with bringin on Swann is that these two are probably the best players of [off]spin Aus have.

True but Swann isn't any off spinner, should be a good battle.

 

[Sledger]

Good drive by Clarke, will get him 4 all run.

 

[*sallu*]

runned

 

[Fawad2010]

They run

 

[Sledger]

Ohh, bit of an edge there, flirted with one outside off. Safe though. Over.

 

[KingKhanWC]

England were 5/1 at start of play today, now half that price at 5/2 ish

Aussies still big favourites then. Don't think it will change unless England get a lead.

 

[James]

Broad's may have a niggle. According to commentator, its around Achilles area.

If we have to rotate Finn and Anderson around Swann all day, then so be it. the Aussies' best players are out, and we are back in the game. pleasantly surprising

 

[Sledger]

Finn around the wicket now. Apparently, all England bowlers think they're Flintoff when faced with left handers.

 

[James]

no danger of Finn taking a wicket with a no-ball. releases around 2 feet behind the line

 

[Sledger]

Pulled away again. 4 more.

 

[cricfan4ever]

another great pull shot from Huss!!!

 

[cricfan967]

Nice shot by Hussey

 

[KingKhanWC]

Messed up the slo mo of that pull from Hussey!

 

[Sledger]

Finn just bowling too short in general.

 

[James]

Finn you fool. ruining the good work. Swann time soon while the batsmen are new.

 

[James]

nice one Stuart. but please bowl a few balls at the stumps next!

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Clarke you suck

 

[KingKhanWC]

Hilfun at no.11, no tail in this line up.

 

[Fawad2010]

haha..

TUN

wake up buddy!

 

[Random Aussie]

145 behind

 

[Sledger]

Swann on.

 

[Random Aussie]

Here we go.

 

[Sledger]

Clarke takes one first ball. Left hander on strike now.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Good battle with Swann on.

 

[Sledger]

6 to Hussey.

 

[cricfan967]

by Hussey , eat that Swann!

 

[Strike!]

:

 

[OZGOD]

from Mr Wicket

 

[KingKhanWC]

Shot Hussey, this man has some bottle.
