[Noork85]

Sigh

 

[Sledger]

Big six to Pietersen.

 

[insaftak]

Six by KP

 

[Noork85]

Pietersen wants to get a double ton asap. And it looks like he'll get it.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Shot KP. Maximum!

 

[Noork85]

Cmon kp u can do it!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

England should play another 62 overs today scoring at 4.00 runs per over, that would give them about 412 runs lead and then should put Australia in for the last 10 overs and try to get some wickets.

lol @ 412, very precise...

 

[insaftak]

There would be no play on day 5. England should get a lead of 300-350 and declare

 

[Atif]

2 matches for Doherty and 2 Wickets, Averaging 119 per wicket, not a bad start to his career...

 

[Atif]

Kp chases a wide ball...lucky he missed that...

 

[Noork85]

Aussies r desperate, its heart wrenching

 

[KingKhanWC]

Swann is going to be lethal on here. England have this game in the bag now, the pitch is talking.

 

[Noork85]

Hussey loves swann

 

[Sledger]

Bollinger back. He was very poor earlier.

 

[Noork85]

I hate draws. And australia gonna be looking for one. Im sure theyre gonna be more careful in the second innings

 

[Noork85]

Hoping dougy can do something now

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

What happened to Bollinger's pace??????????

 

[Noork85]

Kp batting for a spot?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

 

[Sledger]

Bollinger has made a century.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Steve Smith should be given a chance now.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

more

 

[cricfan4ever]

as much as I want Aussies to win, KP has put on a fantastic display of aggressive Test batting...lovely to watch!

Aus under serious pressure...

if England gets to 400 lead and declares tonight, that'll leave 2 days to get 10 wickets for England

and someone from Aus will have to produce yet another innings of their life

as of right now, this match has England victory written all over it!

 

[Sledger]

Completely toothless attack. England dominating this series by a long way.

 

[insaftak]

Steve Smith should be given a chance now.

And who should be given a chance in 4th test after he fails in third test

 

[Sledger]

needs to come out of retirement.

 

[Sledger]

Hit very hard by Pietersen. 4 more.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Flash for

 

[insaftak]

Edge and over north's head

 

[Sledger]

Bollinger bowling at Collingwood's pace lol.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

And who should be given a chance in 4th test after he fails in third test

He can't do worse than what Doherty is bowling right now.


Plus, he can bat.

 

[Friend786]

Rain is coming

 

[Sledger]

More listless bowling by Doug.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

North to bowl now.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

oh dear.... ball turned square for north!!

 

[Sledger]

The North into the attack.

Australia's best spinner.

 

[insaftak]

Massive spin for north

 

[Sledger]

Massive turn!

 

[Friend786]

Ponting must be thinking about golden times he had four years ago !

 

[Sledger]

Big turn again but off line.

Bring on the Swann?

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Swann to take a 5fer.... my prediction

 

[Sledger]

Oooh, risky shot by Collingwood. Lots of spin.

 

[Sledger]

Its still slow turn atm though.

 

[Sledger]

Cavemen in the crowd.

 

[Sledger]

Wide. Bollinger not happy.

 

[Sledger]

Channel 9 com box arguing lol.

 

[Noork85]

What abt?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

KP moves to 149

 

[insaftak]

Four more for kp. He is now on 149

 

[Sledger]

Four more to KP, flicked away with ease. Wicket is very easy paced.

 

[Sledger]

What abt?

Wide calls.

 

[Noork85]

Kp gona make his double ton.

 

[Noork85]

Sux being an aussie bowler

 

[Sledger]

Pietersen on strike. 149*..

 

[insaftak]

150 up for Kp. Well played.

Aussies can't get him out.

Have some mercy on them KP

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

KP 150

 

[Noork85]

That was a good shot by kp

 

[Sledger]

Swept for four.

153 to KP. He made 158 last time at Adelaide in 2006/07.

 

[insaftak]

2 fours on 2 balls

 

[Sledger]

FOur more. )

 

[Sledger]

Pietersen playing an ODI. You can tell by how he's changed his stance. He wants to hit fours every ball.

 

[KingKhanWC]

150 for KP. England well on their way after this session.

 

[Sledger]

Big turn but too short.

158 to KP.

 

[Noork85]

Lunch. Aussies need to put some vaseline on their hands.

 

[Friend786]

These two love Adelaide

 

[insaftak]

Lunch.

This Aussie bowling lineup is useless

 

[Sledger]

That's lunch. England completely destroyed Australia in that session. They've gone a long way towards winning this game bar rain or a miracle by Australia's batsmen.

 

[Noork85]

Pietersen playing an ODI. You can tell by how he's changed his stance. He wants to hit fours every ball.

I was thinking the same thing. Cant believe england dropped him for that. And there was no asif n amir for that

 

[Friend786]

What's the fastest double ton?

 

[Sledger]

Kevin Pietersen should target a double hundred and more at the way he's seeing it. Collingwood has good memories here and will want a 70 odd at least himself.
After that, England should send up some hitters and try to get a move on. Promote Prior and maybe even Swann.

 

[Sledger]

What's the fastest double ton?

The one my Nathan Astle against England. He did it in about 150 balls.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

lol @ 412, very precise...

Kya karen, PP per precise hona parta hai, warna somebody will come out and say, you didn't calculate it properly

 

[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

Lunch

8/13 England

13/8 Draw

80/1 Aussies

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

There would be no play on day 5. England should get a lead of 300-350 and declare

If that's the case, then they should play even faster and try to put Australia in even earlier.

 

[OZGOD]

Well aside from preventing Cook from getting another double ton that was a pretty ordinary session. Doherty looks to be a joke. Geez even Horroritz would've been better I reckon.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Englands session...

 

[James]

Embarrassing

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Is this the same English batting lineup that Amir & Asif toyed with this summer
