[Sledger]

Come on Bell, take a single.

 

[Noork85]

Rain dance! Cmon aussies

 

[OZGOD]

I think this is the first time I find myself praying that the rain will strengthen and stay for the rest of the arvo (since I have to go to the pub soon anyway and they will NOT be showing the cricket)

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Bell just throw bat on ball!!.....

 

[Noork85]

Dougy rubbish

 

[Sledger]

Ground staff getting ready. Strauss should declare.. just for the lolz.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

[Eagle_Eye]

Bell not prepared to take any risks!!

 

[OZGOD]

[Sledger]

Kevin on strike. He's one away from a double century.

 

[Noork85]

)

 

[Eagle_Eye]

200 for KP... well batted

 

[Noork85]

Doherty Again.

 

[Sledger]

There it is!!

200 for Pietersen. Magnifient innings!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

200 for KP

 

[insaftak]

Double ton for Kp. Well played.

Aussies can't get him out

 

[Noork85]

Lol hes so happy.

 

[Wised up]

LOL can Aussies get any wicket cheaply? Surely you can't be that bad, can you?

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Piterson takes a single and bell is going to play out the rest of the over!!

 

[Sledger]

T20 time plz.

 

[Sledger]

Couple to Bell, guided past slip.

 

[Sledger]

How long till tea?

 

[Noork85]

t20 time plz.

4..6..w

 

[Sledger]

Clarke's back troubling him.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Congrats to KP - top knock

 

[Sledger]

Single to Bell. Over. 4/530.

 

[Sledger]

Doherty averaging over 126 in test cricket.

has competition.

 

[Sledger]

Bollinger clearly not fit. Looks like a nervy selection by Aus without fully summing up his progress.

 

[Looney]

When will they declare ? after tea ?

 

[OZGOD]

Well played Kevinder.

 

[insaftak]

Bollinger clearly not fit. Looks like a nervy selection by Aus without fully summing up his progress.

So Aussies are playing with four injured players clarke katich, Harris, bollinger, rookie Xavier and south. that is pathetic selection.

 

[OZGOD]

And if they really want to have a go, they will declare then put us in right when it stops raining so the Incredible Jimmy can create some carnage yet again.

 

[cricfan967]

OZGOD getting a taste of what it is like to be Pakistani in every Cricket match
Hurts doesn't it, you will get used to it in time.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Aussie body language is just of despondence!

 

[Sledger]

291 lead........

 

[Sledger]

England should declare in 9 runs time. No need to drag this on.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

I have feeling Eng want to bat all day today!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

should play another 15 overs and make a 100 runs

 

[Sledger]

Bowlers look out of gas. England have really grinded Australia here.

 

[OZGOD]

Well this has been a disaster of their own making. Everyone knows what Adelaide is like. They were 200 runs below par on Day 1 so I have very little sympathy for them at the moment.

 

[Sledger]

Well they won't get Aus in before tea now. No point declaring yet so they may as well play for the break then come in and blast it for 1/2 and hour - 40 mins tops and then look to take 2 or 3 before the close.

 

[OZGOD]

They're just making X-Man look like a joke lol.

 

[Looney]

Not even close . not until there is a nice big scandal

 

[cricfan4ever]

Majestic Double Ton from KP!

 

[OZGOD]

X man gives away another

 

[Sledger]

4. Smashed straight.

 

[IT_Khumbee]

Aussies used to kill the opposition like this for a decade.....now the tides have turned and they are at the receiving end...I wish Aussies suffer like this for years to come...inshALLAH

Believe it or not I started watching cricket as a young bloke in the 80s - I've seen some bad OZ sides.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

KP gonna have a go now!

 

[Sledger]

4 more. )

 

[Sledger]

Almost a hattrick of fours. Xavier is terrible.

 

[Sledger]

550 up.

 

[Sledger]

Bell moves to 42.

 

[Sledger]

Tea time. England all over Australia once again.

 

[cricfan4ever]

us Pakistani fans can only dream of our batsmen scoring double tons in Australia...

what a gorgeous ground, and what an innings from KP!

 

[OZGOD]

And on that note, I'm off to the pub. I will NOT be checking my phone for scores. Cyaz all.

 

[Looney]

Aussies used to kill the opposition like this for a decade.....now the tides have turned and they are at the receiving end...I wish Aussies suffer like this for years to come...inshALLAH

but it has got England thinking they are almost worthy of being

 

[Levity]

Australian cricket has well and truly lost its magnificence. Welcome to our level of mediocrity, tea and crumpets shall be served after every third pasting.

 

[On_the_up]

Australia taking a pummelling here.

To think Doherty's inclusion was mainly due to the thought that Pietersen had a weakness against left arm spinners. It doesn't matter what you bowl its how good you are. Questionable tactics at the very least.

Hauritz back for the next match.

 

[optimusprime1122]

Doherty and Bollinger

lord.

Congrats mate everything english team touching is turning into gold nice play well deserverd so far.

 

[Khabri420]
