The Ashes | 1st Test | Brisbane | Day 3 | 27/11/10

[Afridi_Fan]

I gotta say initially I wanted to see Aus wipe the floor with England but this is kinda boring. So here is hoping its a even series or England pull out a great batting effort.

Exactly what I am feeling.

 

[*sallu*]

flicked away for 3 more

 

[GOAT]

Hussey to get his double by the end of the day...

 

[ads101]

Lol not jimmys day

maybe it he doesn't look as threatening now in the recent overs he's bowling.

 

[Sledger]

Some swing back in - edged through fine leg for four.

 

[*sallu*]

French cut for :4

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Looking forward to England's innings.

Will they collapse or will they hold strong?

The match will come alive again when Eng bat.

Right now, they are just getting murdered.

 

[Noork85]

Defeat around the corner

 

[SOSami]

How did they let Haddin the hack get to 131?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I would love to watch BBC website and columns later today if Aussies don't lose any wickets. This will be fun.

 

[Noork85]

How did they let Haddin the hack get to 131?

Through 2 dropped catches

 

[kingusama92]

England started bowling like Sami.

 

[Noork85]

England started bowling like Sami.

Lol

 

[ads101]

I thought it was Siddle.

yeah it was.

Hilf scored a not out 50 against us in England (the first test match where Australia won).

 

[Strike!]

Highest ever partnership at the Gabba.

 

[SOSami]

Through 2 dropped catches

Now I understand.

England started bowling like Sami.

!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

This is, by the way, the highest ever partnership at the Gabba. Hussey and Haddin waltz past Bradman and Hassett...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

So, the Don loses one record. :bradman

 

[Looney]

KP is looking like Luigi

 

[Sledger]

Loose drive.

 

[GOAT]

why not throw it to the part timers?

 

[Amir]

Wait, why wasn't that out? It hits his bat and then he stopped it with his bat whiel stll in play. I am pretty sure that is a double hit, if he stopped with foot...different case.

 

[Sledger]

No, you're allowed to use the bat if it is to defend your wicket.

 

[Noork85]

Loose drive.

Lmao, nailed!

 

[Sledger]

Another cover drive. Another 4. Hussey charging towards 200..

 

[Random Aussie]

Dishing it out now.....

 

[Noork85]

Hussey on fiyah!

 

[Noork85]

Hussey 170*

 

[SempreSami]

Through 2 dropped catches

Can't really call Janderson's one a drop, he didn't get a hand on it.

 

[Noork85]

Haddin 133*

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

why not throw it to the part timers?

Collingwood got smashed around the park by Haddin.

 

[Noork85]

Can't really call Janderson's one a drop, he didn't get a hand on it.

Ok not dropped, missed chance, 2 too many.

 

[Noork85]

Hussey and haddin grind England-cricinfo

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Never heard of these power bands.

 

[Noork85]

When is that declaration gonna come?

 

[kingusama92]

Hussey and haddin grind England-cricinfo

Now that's an obscene title.

 

[SOSami]

England commentators gone completely silent!

 

[Sledger]

Swann back into the attack.

 

[Sledger]

Last over before Tea.

 

[GOAT]

Collingwood got smashed around the park by Haddin.

might as well give it to KP or anyone, these bowlers aren't doing it atm.

 

[Noork85]

Swann 1/110

 

[Sledger]

Thats tea. 5/436.

Pretty dire session for England. Well batted Hussey & Haddin.

 

[jattafridi]

tea

 

[Noork85]

Tea break!

 

[GOAT]

Swann 1/110

Kaneria like figures!

 

[mastermind_quad]

Aussies ......


Hard Luck Strauss after employing 7-2 feild his side didn't able to restrict flow of runs these two batsman playing brilliantly .....bowlers
giving easy boundary here & there


Jimmy's morning session was brilliant but hard luck no wicket.....

 

[Noork85]

Swann 1/113

 

[Khabri420]

Trott looks like he's going to cry a river during tea break.

 

[cricfan4ever]

wow I said that another session without more than 2 wickets and England will be out of it, but holy smokes...Huss & Haddin have been ruthless!!!

436/5 at Tea...leading by 176, things not looking good for England...

176 was the magic number for Pakistan in Sydney...we failed...looking very bleak for England unless some epic innings from someone comes...

 

[Noork85]

Trott looks like he's going to cry a river during tea break.

Lol y?

 

[mastermind_quad]

its T

 

[Looney]

Aus lead by 176 - as much as Hussey made

 

[usmiunique]

Swann has got the beating of his life i huess!!!! Looks like the short ball has becomeandatory for him every over!!!

 

[SOSami]

I think it's safe to say that this session belonged to the Aussies.

 

[cricfan4ever]

I think it's safe to say that this session belonged to the Aussies.

whole day has belonged to Aussies so far...

 

[SOSami]

whole day has belonged to Aussies so far...

Whole test probably.

 

[Looney]

Last session of Day 3 left and then 2 more days . Australia should quickly get to 500 and then declare . I do not want England to be able to draw this match .

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

When is that declaration gonna come?

They should aim to bat only once. Why should they declare when the lead is not even 200?

These two will bat till the lead is 400 if possible.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Last session of Day 3 left and then 2 more days . Australia should quickly get to 500 and then declare . I do not want England to be able to draw this match .

They have 2 days to bowl England out.

They should bat till lunch tomorrow if possible.

 

[mastermind_quad]

These two will bat till the lead is 400 if possible.

definitely they'll be looking for 300+ lead here and win by Inning ...
7 sessions left in this match.

 

[Random Aussie]

I don't think we will declare at all.

Just keep battiing because the pitch will get harder to bat on and would be easier to bat only once.

And grind their bowlers into the dirt, particularly Swann.

Go tweet some more Swannee!!!

 

[NJamal]

England are exposed big time here. Their bowling is a bit over hyped and overrated in my opinion. Look at Swan's figures rubbish. Aussies are gonna win this with an innings and a day to spare.

 

[Looney]

They have 2 days to bowl England out.

They should bat till lunch tomorrow if possible.

You are right I guess i am overestimating England

So a 540 total we are looking at by the Aussies ? That would give Australia a lead of 300 . Anything above that is an added bonus obviously

 

[Khabri420]

Lol y?

Well for one he is a cry baby, but he looks like he's had enough in the field.

I really hope Aussies add another quickfire 100-150 here.

 

[Looney]

Anderson 1 away from his century

 

[oracleg]

Switched over to the Sky stream during the break only to see Nasser Hussain still complaining about the Hussey LBW

Get over it lol. England were a big beneficiary of Umpiring decisions in the ODI series against us. Don't see Pakistanis harping on about it.

It hurts. We complained abt ABCD, he was given not out twice

 

[Looney]

Here's Shane Warne on Twitter a little earlier today: "If Aust get a lead of 250 + you will see England players starting a new dance its called the please please rain for 2 days... we can't win!"

Bu..But accroding to whippy and RA people from their countries don't care about wrong decisions.

I'm sure English fans are crying their hearts out about that decision.

 

[Noork85]

Swanny in to improve his figures

Not much batting left after this. If they some how manage to break this partnership then we might see a lower order collapse...

 

[ads101]

no need to declare really. Bowling conditions are getting better. These two are very set (we saw how hard batsmen found it to settle in). Might as well go for near 600. Then try and bowl England out under 350.

 

[Noork85]

Eng probably want a draw

 

[ads101]

there's lot. This tail can add at least 50. england's bowlers aren't as threatening. Might as well take advantage. they'll be a lot more threatening quite likely at the start of the 2nd innings again.

Plus Swann will get better later on, so might as well make an example of him now and milk the runs.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Eng probably want a draw

That's obvious.

 

[mastermind_quad]

appeal for caught behind ....Dar unmoved

'At the end of the day, better team should win regardless of the umpiring decisions'

 

[mastermind_quad]

and that's to Hussey
