[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

since the start of today's play the market prices have broadly remained constant even when Cook went

8/11 England

11/8 Draw

60/1 Aussies

 

[Sledger]

talking about KP's stance change as well now.

 

[Atif]

Looks like Collingwood is playing for lunch out there....

 

[AZ]

...and at the other end we have the cricketing equivalent of a silent film

knock him over already.

 

[Sledger]

56 avg against Aus.

 

[Sledger]

Collingwood still on 0. :aali

 

[Atif]

Collingwood is finally off the mark, and he runs four, poor fielding by the Aussies..

 

[AZ]

pushed down the ground and they run 4! )

 

[Sledger]

Off the mark now. Good shot, 4 all run.

 

[Atif]

Collingwood moves onto 5 in quicktime..

 

[Sledger]

Outer half of the bat there.

 

[Sledger]

mentioned.

What a ledge.

 

[Noork85]

What is it with warne and inzi? Must love him

 

[Sledger]

Beats Collingwood there, Siddle.

 

[Noork85]

Kp took no time in getting those runs.

 

[Atif]

Spinner Doherty is warming up according to Bumble...

 

[insaftak]

Why Aussies keep making fun of inzi. They should talk more about their pathetic bowling lineup

 

[Sledger]

What is it with warne and inzi? Must love him

No, it was Slater and Chappell.

Collingwood gets 2 more.

 

[Khabri420]

Wow Australia have been pretty pathetic in the field.

 

[Sledger]

Why Aussies keep making fun of inzi. They should talk more about their pathetic bowling lineup

Its a joke. Everyone makes fun of The Inz. Its all light hearted.

 

[Atif]

Late reverse swing results into 4 byes..

 

[Noork85]

My eyes! Not the troll!

 

[Sledger]

Big nip backer. Probably hit a crack.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Late swing.

 

[Sledger]

Actually it swung after pitching. :kami

 

[insaftak]

Its a joke. Everyone makes fun of The Inz. Its all light hearted.

I rather have them analyze this bowling lineup. I haven't heard anything on this bowling lineup today

 

[Atif]

Drinks are on the field....not the first hr Australia would have wanted...

 

[AZ]

lol.

bad enough as the Aussie bowling is, Haddin leaking byes as well.

 

[Sledger]

Same again but not as much swing. Collingwood leads.

Drinks.

 

[Sledger]

I rather have them analyze this bowling lineup. I haven't heard anything on this bowling lineup today

They have been talking about the bowling but not so much Bollinger.

 

[OZGOD]

Why does Haddin give away so many byes

 

[KingKhanWC]

Collingwood looks poor even on this flat deck. Aussies need to keep him down.

 

[Sledger]

Drinks over. Lead of 133 for Eng.

Xavier is on - time for some left arm filth.. err spin.

 

[Sledger]

Ponting trying to take some time out of the game lol.

 

[Genghis]

Is Pieterson going to fall to SLA again???

 

[Sledger]

Oooh, massive long hop to start. Pietersen misses out.

 

[Genghis]

 

[AZ]

crap ball, paddle sweep.

 

[Sledger]

Swept away for four. Rubbish ball.

 

[Atif]

for Kp, Australia are looking ordinary...

 

[Atif]

for Collingwood, 9 runs from Doherty's first over...poor start from him..

 

[AZ]

too short, and clipped thru midwicket by Collywolly.

even HE is playing relatively quickly on this wkt )

 

[Sledger]

Very good shot by Collingwood. Just worked it away and got 4.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Doherty wouldn't get into Pak u16.

 

[AZ]

oh shut up Nicholas.

 

[Atif]

I wonder how the Aussie Commentators other than Warne are taking this England innings into account...

 

[insaftak]

Aussies need to put 9 men on offside and bowl away from batsman. Go defensive and stop the runs. They aren't going to take wickets anyways

 

[Sledger]

That's the ball to Collingwood. Gets an inside edge.

 

[Sledger]

Yawn. These commentators need to stop reading extracts from KP's autobiography.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Siddle nearly had him.

 

[Friend786]

What sort of lead should England have before declaring ?

 

[Noork85]

Doherty is crap, theyre having fun with him

 

[Sledger]

He was well in. Aus commentators really clutching at straws here at Adelaide. )

 

[AZ]

wow, KP regularly playing 20 Tests a year!

and our lads,

 

[Sledger]

Bring back Muttiah Hauritz! Can't be worse than Xavier Giles.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Doherty is crap, theyre having fun with him

i think north has done better than him, so what was the point in selection xavier. He cant bat and worst of all he cant spin.

***

 

[Atif]

Doherty is crap, theyre having fun with him

He bowls like a school kid...then again he might be a school kid...

 

[AZ]

lol, anything that is slightly straight and Collywolly will get hit on the pad.

what a rubbish player.

 

[Noork85]

Why dont we play more tests?

 

[JellyBro]

Austrial is pretty much waiting for the wickets to come to them....such a contrast of what australia was all about not too long ago

 

[Sledger]

Why dont we play more tests?

 

[insaftak]

Bring back Muttiah Hauritz! Can't be worse than Xavier Giles.

They all suck. Doesn't matter who they bring back

 

[Sledger]

Thank God for mute buttons. They were designer for Mark Nicholas.

Terrible.

 

[AZ]

uppish, but safe, KP doesn't care where it goes now.

 

[Atif]

Pulled for by Collingwood...

 

[Noork85]

I think pak should immediately schedule a test with australia.

 

[Sledger]

What a shot by Collingwood.

 

[KingKhanWC]

What sort of lead should England have before declaring ?

England will try to bat all day. They don't declare easily.imo England will be bowled out before they declare, most likely at the end of the day or early day 4. 350 lead would be great for them.

 

[Noork85]

Warne set the standard too high for spinners

 

[Sledger]

Siddle bowling very poor bouncers. No effort in them, unlike Harris.

 

[Atif]

Good shot for by Collingwood, successive boundaries, brings up the 50 partnership..

 

[Noork85]

Phainty

 

[AZ]

short and pulled away by Colly, good shot.

;four

cracking cover drive from Paul : Collingwood.

 

[Noork85]

400/3

 

[Sledger]

4 more.

 

[Sledger]

4 0 0 up.

Australia getting owned.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Even Collingwood is attacking now. )

Time to bring Watson on.

 

[Atif]

by Kp,

 

[Sledger]

Siddle is just average. I'm amazed how crap Australia's bowling reserves are atm.

 

[Noork85]

No matter who comes on its the same damn routine
