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!"

)

legend!!!

300 partnership up!!!

 

[Noork85]

Hussey abt to break his highest score

 

[Noork85]

And broken! 185*

 

[Random Aussie]

Hmm I don't rate this Finn like everyone else seems to.....he is tall and slow and dumb.

 

[over]

They've batted over 91 overs together, wow

 

[Seen Sheen]

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.

Swann is pretty good against the tail,can't see Aussie tail scoring more than 50.. But as soon as the lead gets past the 225 -230 mark, it'll be an innings defeat for the Poms I am afraid..:rondu

Is that the secret to his stats?

Boy, I love his attitude! England thought they were sitting on top of the world. Here's a reality check!

 

[Seen Sheen]

..At least I've never rated this guy, don't know about others. And he got the emerging player award..

 

[mastermind_quad]

Haddin

 

[Noork85]

And caught!

 

[Khabri420]

Haddin gone...but the damage has already been done. It'sll about damage control now for England.

 

[cricfan4ever]

Haddin gone...outstanding innings! well played mate!

 

[Noork85]

Should england really be celebrating? Damage has been done.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Standing ovation by Gabba crowd ...what a view ....well played Haddin ....this partnership put the Aussies on dominating positions ......

MJ in.....

 

[Noork85]

Maybe swann can wipe the tail enders and feel better

 

[ads101]

we'll see now. Hussey plays very well with the tail though.

I reckon Australian tail will hold up. Johnson is in very good form and averages 20 something.

Hope they fold like a pack of cards but the damage already done.

 

[Noork85]

I hope tail can stick around for hussey to get his double ton

 

[Seen Sheen]

Is that the secret to his stats?

Haha, I forgot to add 'as well'..
He is an excellent bowler. Credit where it's due.

 

[mastermind_quad]

well fielded by Jimmy

 

[SOSami]

Hmm I don't rate this Finn like everyone else seems to.....he is tall and slow and dumb.

I agree.

Journos like him coz he's posh, a bit like Cook. His supposedly high rating is based on performances in county cricket and a couple of home tests against Bangladesh, and that too after Tamim Iqbal had taken him apart.

 

[Noork85]

Quixk single that

 

[strongman123]

Graeme 'the great' Swann creates the first breakthrough of the day for England what a champ

 

[Noork85]

Hussey 12 away from his double

 

[Noork85]

11 away

 

[mastermind_quad]

another pull another

 

[Noork85]

:4

 

[Noork85]

9 away from double

 

[Noork85]

Hussey 193 lead 196

 

[SempreSami]

Off you go Hussey.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Hussey gone ... ....

 

[Noork85]

Hussey 195
Lead 198

 

[ads101]

lol finn now leading wicket taker for England this test.

 

[Noork85]

Fml

 

[IT_Khumbee]

Ian Chappal jinxed him.....what a manhoos

 

[mastermind_quad]

this time pull not worked .....

standing Ovation .....well played Hussey ... ...

 

[cricfan4ever]

Huss gone! 5 short of his double ton, but what a magnificent knock!!!

 

[Noork85]

Shouldve gotten a double!!!!

 

[kingusama92]

Well played!

Tough that he missed out on his double century.

Great knock, though.

 

[Khabri420]

Overhyped Finn gets a wicket. Hussey should've sent that sailing over. issed:

Great innings come to an end.

 

[Cricket_Guy]

Well played Hussey, you did not deserve the 200, so don't feel bad, but don't forget to buy dinner for Aleem Daar

 

[mastermind_quad]

close appeal

 

[SempreSami]

Ian Chappal jinxed him.....what a manhoos

Great stuff Chappelli.

 

[oracleg]

Gifted his wicket away...absolutely no need for that. Well played though, really deserved a double century.

 

[Noork85]

Swann in to wipe tail.

 

[Noork85]

3 to X

 

[Cricket_Guy]

Gifted his wicket away...absolutely no need for that. Well played though, really deserved a double century.

He was lucky to get his 100, so don't take it to heart

 

[NJamal]

Lead crossed 200 now. It will be very hard for England to come back in this Test.

 

[Noork85]

Mj got nice use of feet

 

[cricfan4ever]

Doherty & MJ should push the lead past 250 to really put Australia in a dominant position...200 odd would leave a window of opportunity for England, and you don't wana do that!

 

[mastermind_quad]

He was lucky to get his 100, so don't take it to heart

what lucky??
Have u seen the Inning .....that was a brilliant Inning & he was confident from the start .....

 

[Noork85]

Swann 2/122 most expensive

 

[mastermind_quad]

1st day belongs to Aussies
2nd day belongs to England
3rd day belongs to Aussies

lets see who is for 4th day.....

 

[SempreSami]

what lucky??
Have u seen the Inning .....that was a brilliant Inning & he was confident from the start .....

Inning?

He was trapped plumb in front, t'umpire just decided that that isn't out.

 

[Khabri420]

He was lucky to get his 100, so don't take it to heart

LOL, it seems you're the one who's taking it to heart.

 

[Cricket_Guy]

Did you see that plumb lbw not given by Aleem Daar ?

 

[Cricket_Guy]

LOL, it seems you're the one who's taking it to heart.

Nahi yaar, it's about respecting fairness

 

[Khabri420]

Nahi yaar, it's about respecting fairness

As it should be. But of course Aleem Dar is no Arani Jayaprakash. It'll take him a while before he reaches that status.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Inning?

He was trapped plumb in front, t'umpire just decided that that isn't out.

Did you see that plumb lbw not given by Aleem Daar ?

yes but Darr's most of the decision goes in England's favor too...

 

[mastermind_quad]

bowled by Finn MJ gone

 

[Khabri420]

Johnson gone...for a duck.

 

[ads101]

ridiculous wicket.

If only Anderson had some of Finn's luck.

 

[IT_Khumbee]

It'll be absolutely criminal if Finn gets a 5fer here and Anderson finishes with nothing for the day.

 

[Noork85]

Oh well, looks like england will be batting today afterall

 

[Noork85]

It'll be absolutely criminal if Finn gets a 5fer here and Anderson finishes with nothing for the day.

Lol true. Rubbish bowlah

 

[Noork85]

[jattafridi]

Thats good maybe few wickets

 

[mastermind_quad]

[mastermind_quad]

ridiculous wicket.

Yes ..Anderson was brilliant ...especially in the morning session ....

 

[Noork85]

Thats good maybe few wickets

Really hoping for it!

 

[mastermind_quad]

Aussies are now in very good position .....will not be easy batting here in 4th or 5th day .....

 

[mastermind_quad]

another ...valuable runs here for Aussies

 

[Noork85]

Finns 5fer coming

 

[Noork85]

How r barbies blisters? Heard new shoes didnt fit well

 

[Noork85]

Barbie still wicket-less

 

[mastermind_quad]

.....Finn again

 

[Noork85]

There he gets it

 

[mastermind_quad]

Hussey on AIR

 

[IT_Khumbee]

It'll be absolutely criminal if Finn gets a 5fer here and Anderson finishes with nothing for the day.

 

[Noork85]
