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

[*sallu*]

3 more to Haddin

Looking very elegant

 

[Noork85]

Swanns gonna get the tail enders. Thatll do good to his confidence

 

[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

Aussies will score 290 ish imo

 

[cricfan967]

Hussey in brilliant form, four more!

 

[Sledger]

Every pullshot by Hussey has found the fence.

 

[*sallu*]

Michael Hussey. Murdering the short ball

:4

 

[CricnPak]

I wouldn't trust this Aussie batting line-up to chase much in the 4th innings. Especially with pitch that's already turning.

 

[Wised up]

This partnership can take the game away from English men.

 

[Noork85]

Please dont throw it away! Its up to him

 

[jattafridi]

 

[*sallu*]

And now well left

Haven't seen him bat with such confidence in a while now

 

[Sledger]

Swann much better now, pitching it on the spot.

 

[Sledger]

Maiden.

 

[Sledger]

Collingwood introduced.

 

[Noork85]

Aus trail by 101? Can they do it? They need a lead which seems unlikely at this point. U know englands gonna come out full guns in the second over

 

[Poison]

Doherty cannot bat. Bollinger-esque IIRC

 

[*sallu*]

One PC (pie chucker Finn) is replaced be the other Paul Collingwood who is also incidently a pie chucker

 

[*sallu*]

Well left by Hussey

 

[*sallu*]

and again.

 

[*sallu*]

driven to mid off
No Run

 

[*sallu*]

Bunted to the covers
No Run

 

[*sallu*]

Wide outside off.
Hussey not interested

 

[Sledger]

What a boring over. :aali

 

[Sledger]

Almost tea time and almost a catch to short leg..

 

[*sallu*]

Oooh, narrowly escaping Cook at short leg

Single to Haddin

 

[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

Whippy you must be happier now?

Whippy has fallen asleep imo

the lad has no staying power

 

[*sallu*]

Hussey overcharges, nearly yorks himself

 

[*sallu*]

And yorked himself again

 

[Sledger]

Hussey wants to kill Swann here haha.

 

[Poison]

Swann's in the GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE now.

 

[Sledger]

Oooh, good contest.

 

[*sallu*]

Down the legside and a bye taken

 

[*sallu*]

Defended off the back foot

No Run

 

[*sallu*]

Possibly 2 overs to go for the tea break

 

[*sallu*]

Left alone, clips the pad along the way

Stifled appeal

 

[Sledger]

Hussey needs to do an SCG and he needs to make a big hundred. Looks in good form.

 

[*sallu*]

 

[*sallu*]

ooh, thickish outside edge for 2

Collingwood teasing Hussey outside off

 

[*sallu*]

Straight, and slight leading edge back to Collingwood

 

[*sallu*]

Straight again, driven to mid off

 

[Sledger]

Flicked away effortlessly. 4 more to Huss.

 

[*sallu*]

Leg stump half volley

Flicked Through mid wicket for :4

 

[*sallu*]

Hussey on to 46

 

[Sledger]

tea.

 

[*sallu*]

Outside off, Hussey leaves it alone and its tea-time

Session goes to England no doubt

 

[Sledger]

5/168 and thats the break.

 

[*sallu*]

4-70 odd in this session

 

[Random Aussie]

This Finn bloke is kinda dumb eh?

92 behind. Might finish the day all square.

 

[cricfan4ever]

Huss is the man! needs to carry on! looking in ominous touch!!!

 

[cricfan4ever]

This Finn bloke is kinda dumb eh?

92 behind. Might finish the day all square.

if Haddin can provide support to Huss, I would think so!

 

[Tapori]

Brilliantly poised.

You'd have to say its been Englands session.

But Mr.Cricket is still there.

Backing Ando to pick up some more in a final burst before Close.

 

[cricfan4ever]

Huss proves his class...fighting 50, needs to convert it into a big 100now!

 

[Random Aussie]

50 for Hussey.

85 behind.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Too bad for Australia that Khawaja didn't play. North sucks and Clarke looks horribly out of form.

 

[insaftak]

Marcus north is a better version of shoaib Malik. I don't know why he is still playing for the Aussies.

 

[ads101]

Marcus north is a better version of shoaib Malik. I don't know why he is still playing for the Aussies.

was the best batsman in the England ashes if I remember and hits tons abroad. just has a habit of getting out too early.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Well played Hussey for half century ...

 

[Khabri420]

Good to see Aussie commentators ripping into baby face. Will Daddy come to the rescue?

 

[Fawad2010]

 

[insaftak]

Great shot by hussey

 

[Fawad2010]

Commentators making tv experience entertaining. "Baby face Stare"...lol

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

was the best batsman in the England ashes if I remember and hits tons abroad. just has a habit of getting out too early.

He's only averaging 36, which is very low by Australian standards.

Here are his last 10 innings scores:

90, 0, 20, 16, 0, 0, 10, 128, 3, 1

There's 3 ducks and a 1 and a 3 in there.

Way too inconsistent and only averaging 26.

edit:

Look at it another way - in 8 of his last ten innings, his total contribution was 50 runs.

 

[mastermind_quad]

one good thing happens to Aussies Inning North didn't score ......so maybe be dropped from next Test


btw the Anderson's ball to Watson for wicket was amazing ...some of the balls of this bloke is simply outstanding ....

and Finn caught & bowled was quite energetic....

My Plyer is in Horrible form .... ....I won't mind khawaja replacing him in this situation ...but I'll always prefer Clarke .....

[cricfan967]

Everyone asleep?

Still here
Good stuff by Hussey. This will be a very close contest all the way to the end.

 

[mastermind_quad]

to hussey

 

[cricfan967]

Hussey has pulled at least 5 times for four this inning against the spinner. He's just soo good at it

more!

 

[mastermind_quad]

only good ball of Swann today was against North ...but North is equally crap....

 

[mastermind_quad]

down the track and defended....

 

[Noork85]

Anyone couldve gotten north, really. He is crap.
Overall, aussies have done a good job against swann, hussey particularly

 

[Noork85]

Partnership of 53*

 

[mastermind_quad]

that's good ball ....baal baal bach gaya haddin......

 

[mastermind_quad]

Anyone couldve gotten north, really. He is crap.
Overall, aussies have done a good job against swann, hussey particularly

definitely .....

 

[Noork85]

I cant stand this geo commercial.

 

[mastermind_quad]

yo...Hussey using his feet quite brilliantly against Swann ...that's the way to play Swann confidently ....
