The Ashes | 2nd Test | Adelaide | Day 1 | 3/12/10

[Noork85]

Jimmy in

 

[Sledger]

Nice drive, no run.

 

[Noork85]

Ahhhh yes jimmy, prior having an orgasm after every ball

 

[Eagle_Eye]

watson.... gone

 

[Sledger]

Watson out.

 

[Sledger]

Caught by KP in the gully, outside edge flew - good catch.

 

[OZGOD]

Twatto goooooonnnnnnnneeeeee

So much for concentration

 

[Noork85]

Crap

 

[optimusprime1122]

Time for North to decide his career once and for all.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Jimmy vs Aus

 

[OZGOD]

The rearguard is back on again - 360 balls to survive before stumps

 

[Sledger]

Well he drove loosely early on but he got away with it, was poor of him to not go on to a big score having survived the inital burst.

Tail has started at North.

 

[JibranAnsari]

ye cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez

 

[Noork85]

Why cant watson get a century???? Hes stuck in 50's and 60's

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Twatto goooooonnnnnnnneeeeee

So much for concentration

What you feared most has happened!!.... Loss of concentration

 

[OZGOD]

Jimmy vs Aus batsman

Jimmy and the Seven (Ten) Dwarfs

 

[JibranAnsari]

why is this north guy still playing?

 

[OZGOD]

Why cant watson get a century???? Hes stuck in 50's and 60's

He loses concentration. Which is why he's better suited in the middle order.

 

[Sledger]

North.

 

[Noork85]

Oh boy, north, how many balls before he walk back to where he came from?

 

[JibranAnsari]

north plays like umar amin

 

[AZ]

what a terrible shot by Watto.

how many streaky boundaries does one need to get to friggin' realise that you should be more careful?!

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Make or break match for North..... Can he do a Pakistan here!!

 

[Sledger]

north plays like umar amin

Umar Amin is 10 times the player.

 

[Sledger]

Swann to get North again?

 

[insaftak]

Oh god north is in. England should get rid of these tailenders soon

 

[JibranAnsari]

yah when playing in the back alley with street boys

 

[Sledger]

Dropped?

 

[Eagle_Eye]

North nearly gives his wicket away

 

[JibranAnsari]

Swann to get North again?

yah would love to see that happen

 

[AZ]

ohh, was that a chance?!

yes indeed, inside edge on to the pads!

 

[insaftak]

Was that dropped?

 

[Noork85]

Umar Amin is 10 times the player.

Domestically atleast

 

[Sledger]

Hussey still trying to attack Swann.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

LOL @ cook's reaction

 

[saj001]

North will do Pakistan here

 

[Sledger]

Playing with rock solid hands.

 

[Random Aussie]

Watson out

 

[Sledger]

Strauss should set an umbrella field - with North's metal gloves, the close fielders will be licking their lips.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Was that dropped?

You cannot say dropped as Cook was in protection mode and saving himself

 

[Sledger]

Lovely drive. Too full by Anderson - 4.

 

[AZ]

oh yes, stroked thru the covers, pure class and timing

 

[Noork85]

Playing with rock solid hands.

Maybe hes jittery and doesnt want the bat to fly out of his hand a la fawad.

:4

 

[JibranAnsari]

Domestically atleast

not even domestically , was just hyped up a lot. There is more to batting than only to look classy.

 

[Sledger]

Maybe hes jittery and doesnt want the bat to fly out of his hand a la fawad.

No, he always plays like that.

 

[iZeeshan]

Don't we want the Aussies to win?

I thought that was the consensus on PakPassion for not Pak/Eng-based PPers

 

[Noork85]

Im team aussie, but unfortunately theyre playing like pak

 

[JibranAnsari]

I want the english to win.

 

[insaftak]

Don't we want the Aussies to win?

I thought that was the consensus on PakPassion for not Pak/Eng-based PPers

This Aussie team does not deserve to win

 

[JibranAnsari]

north will make a 50 , his feet moving well today.

 

[Noork85]

Off the mark

 

[AZ]

I want both to win and both to lose.

 

[Noork85]

50not good enough at this point

 

[Noork85]

I want both to win and both to lose.

Lol huh?

 

[JibranAnsari]

i want both to win and both to lose.

2-2?

 

[AZ]

well left by Snorth

 

[Khabri420]

"I want cricket to win" --- such an annoying statement.

 

[Sledger]

Until he's face 30 deliveries?!!! )

Nice to dream big eh, Marcus?

 

[AZ]

ooh, nice crisp off drive

 

[Sledger]

4 to the North.

 

[Noork85]

:4

 

[ali_ed2006]

I want both to win and both to lose.

I hear you. I feel exactly the same way!

 

[Sledger]

Right through him.

 

[cricfan4ever]

Why cant watson get a century???? Hes stuck in 50's and 60's

syndrome I think...

 

[AZ]

and then gets beaten all ends up

 

[Sledger]

Swann getting some drift now - first time in this series.

 

[Noork85]

Cclever

 

[Sledger]

North Vs Swann.

 

[AZ]

oyeeeee, close shout, too high maybe.

Snorth shuffling like

 

[Sledger]

LOL @ that appeal.

 

[Sledger]

North survives! Playing the innings of his life here!!!

 

[Noork85]

North shld b dropped even if he scores a century

 

[AZ]

good running by Huss, very positive intent.

 

[Sledger]

Another fine over.

 

[OZGOD]

Marcus South looking slightly less shaky

 

[Noork85]

:4

 

[AZ]

superb on drive from Huss

 

[Sledger]

That was quick by Swann. Seems frustrated.

 

[Noork85]

Hussey 48

 

[OZGOD]

If someone had told me before this series started that we would be relying to Mike Hussey to bail us out for the second consecutive match I would've laughed at them.
