[cricfan4ever]

wow, Finn gets a 5-fer...

 

[oracleg]

lol Finn gets a 5 wicket haul.

Wonder what must be going through Anderson's head!

 

[Noork85]

Unbelievable, i kno

 

[Noork85]

lol Finn gets a 5 wicket haul.

Wonder what must be going through Anderson's head!

Something along the lines of w.t.f

 

[mastermind_quad]

5'fer for Finn ...Well Done.... maybe he is rubbish .....but u cannot get 5'fer easily

 

[Noork85]

Tail collapse

 

[mastermind_quad]

Here Finn atleast finishing up the tail very fast......

 

[oracleg]

Anderson's time will come in Adelaide. If Agarkar can get 6 wickets there then he's more than likely to as well.

 

[Noork85]

Hilf has a 50 against amir and asif so he can clearly bat---cricinfo

 

[Noork85]

Swann wants the last wicket, i think jimmy deserves it more

 

[mastermind_quad]

Close call

 

[mastermind_quad]

noway near the bat

 

[Noork85]

Almost

 

[Random Aussie]

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

Sigh

 

[Noork85]

Nothing to feel bad abt random aussie, they werent outstanding balls, just stupid shots

 

[mastermind_quad]

another to X

 

[Noork85]

220 lead shld b good enough

 

[oracleg]

Sigh

What are your opinions on Sami?

 

[Noork85]

Anything in excess is a bonus

 

[HumorMe]

220 lead shld b good enough

no, it's not

 

[cricfan4ever]

31 more runs needed and this one will be in the bag!

 

[Noork85]

Cant expect 50's from tail enders @ humor me

 

[mastermind_quad]

its look clean...should go for 3rd umpire

 

[Noork85]

Hit the ground

 

[Khabri420]

Good on Jimmy

 

[Noork85]

Lead is 220

 

[Noork85]

6fer for finn?

 

[mastermind_quad]

All out ... 481

 

[Noork85]

Gone

 

[IT_Khumbee]

Most underserving 6 fer ever...this one even beats Agarkar

 

[Noork85]

6fer for finn he must be elated

 

[mastermind_quad]

England trailing by 221 with 10 wkts and 19 over remaining for today

 

[Incognito]

Looks like Giraffes get all the water

 

[Noork85]

Most underserving 6 fer ever...this one even beats Agarkar

Second that

 

[jattafridi]

England trailing by 221 with 10 wkts and 19 over remaining for today

 

[cricfan4ever]

so it's all over...Australia ahead by 221, all out for 481...amazing comeback from the Aussies! no wonder I love their brand of cricket after ours! great self-belief & application shown by Huss & Haddin!

England will now have to bat out of their skins to save this match...

 

[Noork85]

Anderskn must be in splits

 

[Strike!]

England can still win this match.

 

[Cricket_Guy]

Second that

haha

 

[Noork85]

Hope aussies can get a wicket before close of play

 

[cricfan4ever]

17 overs remain in the day because 2 overs are lost in b/w innings change...

so Aus should aim for at least 2 wickets!

 

[Random Aussie]

What are your opinions on Sami?

Talented bowler. Can't bowl a consistent line and therefore is not international standard. Has all the tools though.

 

[Noork85]

17 overs remain in the day because 2 overs are lost in b/w innings change...

so Aus should aim for at least 2 wickets!

Woah, u made a bigger jump than i did.

 

[mastermind_quad]

two night watchman will open from England .....

 

[cricfan4ever]

Woah, u made a bigger jump than i did.

what can I say, want Australia to win with a vengeance!

 

[Noork85]

Really? Theyre opening with nightwatchmen?

 

[Strike!]

nvm.

 

[cricfan4ever]

Really? Theyre opening with nightwatchmen?

Strauss & Cook are considered that cuz of Aamir-Asif exploits over the summer!

 

[SOSami]

Worth a review. He looked out.

 

[Noork85]

Crap

 

[Noork85]

Review

 

[SOSami]

Bouncy Aussie pitches saved him

 

[Noork85]

Lucky

 

[cricfan4ever]

and there's early drama folks...peach of a delivery from Hilfy, given not out from Dar...reviewed, and decision stands...

adrenaline pumping stuff this!!!

 

[mastermind_quad]

Really? Theyre opening with nightwatchmen?

Naah buddy ....they need to play like nightwatchmen ...

 

[Khabri420]

Great decision from Aleem Dar, but of course certain posters here will choose to ignore that.

 

[mastermind_quad]

that was very close call

 

[SOSami]

Although all this turning a blind eye to umpiring errors by Sky commentators goes out of the window when England get a bad decision.

What happened to things balancing out?

 

[Noork85]

No chance of a duck for strauss. Must b feeling lucky

 

[cricfan4ever]

Aussies are fired up!!!

c'mon 2 wickets here mates!

btw, Strauss gots an impressive record for an opener, 18 test 100s in 5 years of playing test cricket...

 

[mastermind_quad]

Although all this turning a blind eye to umpiring errors by Sky commentators goes out of the window when England get a bad decision.

What happened to things balancing out?

they are neutrals ....haha....

 

[farazaidi]

England should try n be positive. This is not Cardiff or Centurian and they cant bat for 2 days. Need to put runs on the board here

 

[mastermind_quad]

Siddle... what a ball to start with

 

[oracleg]

Good to see Mark Taylor sticking up for Aleem Dar.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Good Bowling

 

[cricfan4ever]

can just sense a wicket coming...keep it tight, around off-stump...something will happen...

 

[mastermind_quad]

that's

 

[Noork85]

Cmon aussies, one wicket b4 close of play

 

[cricfan4ever]

hilfy is threatening to get the breakthrough...c'mon!!!

 

[Cricket_Guy]

Great decision from Aleem Dar, but of course certain posters here will choose to ignore that.

All good decisions should be appreciated, and bad ones should be condemned in all fairness, it does not matter whether he gets 80% right

 

[mastermind_quad]

seams no wicket is coming today ...lets kuch aur kam kiya jaye ...... ...singing off...

 

[Khabri420]

All good decisions should be appreciated, and bad ones should be condemned in all fairness, it does not matter whether he gets 80% right

Oh quit the whining already. Like I said, Aleem Dar is no Jayaprakash.

 

[Cricket_Guy]

Oh quit the whining already. Like I said, Aleem Dar is no Jayaprakash.

I am not whining here, I know he is a good umpire, but today his mistake was critical for England so it has to be condemned, if you don't like it then so be it

 

[Noork85]

Marcus north?

 

[Noork85]

North welcomed with a :4

 

[Khabri420]

I am not whining here, I know he is a good umpire, but today his mistake was critical for England so it has to be condemned, if you don't like it then so be it

No one is denying it, but it gets annoying if that's all and everything you keep saying over and over again. You said it once, made your point, move on.

 

[SOSami]

Hussain: Johnson has been told 'have a go at Strauss, hurl it down as fast as you can'

Holding: He has to hurl it down in the right direction though

 

[cricfan4ever]

fudge...MJ almost got Strauss there...good yorker...

 

[Cricket_Guy]

No one is denying it, but it gets annoying if that's all and everything you keep saying over and over again. You said it once, made your point, move on.

I did that on purpose bcoz on this hyper active cricket website, was surprised to see that very few people condemned that, well I got the point that not many here care about fairness in terms of umpiring decisions, it's all about blindly supporting one team. let the merry making continue.

 

[Noork85]

From where'd u read that?
