is having the time of his life

 

[Sledger]

Broad and Haddin haha.

 

[Amir]

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.

 

[*sallu*]

Annihilation in Progress

 

[Sledger]

150 to Hussey, superb innings.

 

[*sallu*]

LOL Misfield

150 up

 

[jattafridi]

Hussey 150

 

[Noork85]

is having the time of his life

Dnt blame him, he was sick of england being praised.

England were hyped because of their fantastic record against pak n bang this summer

 

[James]

this is unlike the annihilation of 06/7. both teams have looked totally insipid for an hour now. just plain dull.

 

[*sallu*]

England are seriously falling like a pack of cards

 

[kingusama92]

150!

The misfields are pouring in now. England are out of it.

Come on Hussey! Get the double!!

 

[JellyBro]

150 for Hussey
whadaplaya!!!

 

[Sledger]

The best thing about Hussey's knock was how he played Swann. Made him look very ordinary.

 

[spoiled]

what is warne saying?

 

[oracleg]

that was horrendous. oh jebus.

Should've gone to bed! It's going to be a long night for England fans

 

[cricfan4ever]

Shane Warne's commentary. )

You can tell throughout this test how annoyed he is at England being considered favourites by many. He's loving each and every one of their fails.

hell ya! )

150 up for Huss!!! super knock from a superman!!!

 

[*sallu*]

this is unlike the annihilation of 06/7. both teams have looked totally insipid for an hour now. just plain dull.

Australia have looked anything but insipid

 

[SempreSami]

Triumph and disaster, triumph and disaster, triumph and disaster...

My sense of stoicism is on the wane, I must say.

 

[kingusama92]

250 partnership up.

10 away from equaling England's score. )

 

[*sallu*]

Flicked away fine for 2

 

[*sallu*]

Current Partnership 250
England First Innings 260

 

[Sledger]

Australians,

Is this innings better than his SCG heroics?

 

[Sledger]

Warne really rubbing the salt in. )

 

[*sallu*]

Pulled away for 3 by Hussey

 

[pinger]

Warne making fun of Broad not having bowled for a while due to blisters from new boots.

 

[Noork85]

Warne at it again

 

[*sallu*]

Hahahaha

trying to act diplomatic but he really is rubbing it in

 

[Sledger]

"A lot of people saying they would win this.


And they HONESTLY believed it".

-.

)

 

[Looney]

England have had another round of complaining to the umpires about the ball. With as much futility as ever. - Cricinfo )

 

[Strike!]

Warne is acting so smug.

 

[*sallu*]

Nudged away for 1

 

[kingusama92]

"A lot of people saying they would win this.


And they HONESTLY believed it".

) ) )

Warney is a legend.

 

[Noork85]

Hes lovin it and hes not afraid to show

 

[ads101]

It is like watching Australia vs PAkistan series again )

could be worse really. The guy who defied us last time (apart from Hussey) was Hilfenhaus I think. Who in this line up is coming in at 11 lol.

 

[*sallu*]

KP needs to bowl

He might make something happen

 

[kingusama92]

Umpires tampering the ball with a pen.

England desperate. )

 

[Sledger]

They're changing the balls.

 

[*sallu*]

Ball being changed, is it going to change England's fortunes?

 

[kingusama92]

Ball being changed, is it going to change England's fortunes?

Doubt it.

Ball will just go faster to the boundary.

 

[*sallu*]

How many test centuries did Botham score in Australia?

 

[*sallu*]

Answer: 2

 

[Looney]

England moaning finally gets them a new ball

 

[Wised up]

could be worse really. The guy who defied us last time (apart from Hussey) was Hilfenhaus I think. Who in this line up is coming in at 11 lol.

It was Doug Bollinger.

 

[Sledger]

Haddin playing a T20 lol. Another 4 straight down the ground.

 

[kingusama92]

What did I say?

The ball will just travel faster to the boundary! )

 

[*sallu*]

bahahhaa

what a shot

:4

 

[pinger]

Warne is acting so smug.

If you were an sexy-texting, baked-bean-eating, hair replacing, leg spinning genius you'd be smug as well.

Legend.

 

[Sledger]

Another 4 square now.

 

[James]

innings defeat possibly.

 

[*sallu*]

Breaking News: This Partnership 262* has beaten Englands entire innings score 260

[ads101]

It was Doug Bollinger.

oh my bad.

 

[Sledger]

Now dabbed away for 2 more.

 

[Noork85]

This def a t20 here. Pc gonna regret ball change

 

[GOAT]

Right -- this match is boring now, Australia dominating, etc.

The REAL question now is: Will I ever create a more successful thread?!

 

[*sallu*]

One more

Sigh, if you're an England fan.
Shut off the tv and go to bed

 

[oracleg]

looks like they'll have to change the ball again in a couple of overs

 

[*sallu*]

Current Partnership 266
England First Innings 260

 

[Sledger]

looks like they'll have to change the ball again in a couple of overs

Maybe England should grow some. Looking defeated.

 

[*sallu*]

Beaten after ages and ages and ages

 

[strongman123]

"As an Aussie I'm not getting too cocky," says Jordan. "If England drop Ashley Giles and get Swann in things will get tougher. What? This IS Swann? Oh. Oh my." - Cricinfo

 

[jattafridi]

wicket is coming

 

[Looney]

Nothing worse than being an English fan , really . Even if Pakistan match are as boring , at least , we have the controversies to keep us interested

 

[*sallu*]

Single to sweeper

 

[*sallu*]

Slater has a dart at Greig

 

[*sallu*]

5/410

wow, wow wow. Who would have though that?

 

[*sallu*]

LOL, Aussies back to their cocky best.

Benaud suggesting Ponting should declare today

 

[Wised up]

Come on England, don't make it that boring for us! Put up an effort. lol

 

[kingusama92]

"As an Aussie I'm not getting too cocky," says Jordan. "If England drop Ashley Giles and get Swann in things will get tougher. What? This IS Swann? Oh. Oh my." - Cricinfo

Sneaky.

Aussies are loving this. I am too.

 

[*sallu*]

Aus have won 16 out of 20 tests since 1990 at the Gabba

 

[Inswinger]

It was Doug Bollinger.

I thought it was Siddle.

 

[HumorMe]

This match is not boring...yet. Australia has to set up a sensible lead if they want to win this thing. So, hang in there and enjoy the shots!

 

[oracleg]

Maybe England should grow some. Looking defeated.

Makes it so much fun watching

The hype before this series was unbelievable!

If I was Strauss I'd rest Anderson for this innings and keep him fresh for Adelaide, where the ball swings a bit.

 

[Wised up]

I thought it was Siddle.

oh yeah it was Siddle lol. I am too tired I guess.

 

[Sledger]

No wickets for the great Stuart Broad.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Last 20 tests at the Gabba:

Aus won 16, drew 4.

They haven't lost at the Gabba for 22 years.

Good luck England.

 

[*sallu*]

150 runs lead also up by the way

ouch

 

[Sledger]

Anderson back, probably the best bowler Eng have.

 

[*sallu*]

:4 to fine leg

tickled fine

 

[Sledger]

4 more..

 

[Noork85]

Lol not jimmys day
