So Australia have been bundled out [again] for a modest score. However, if they can bowl really well with their strengthened bowling then maybe they can get back into this game. Ashes are slipping away though.

Time for England's regulation 500-1?
 
I don't think they will score 500 but they will definitely score over 350. They will get best use of the wicket for batting as well.
 
Warney at twitter.
"Still no sleep ... so got up out of bed, now staring at the water here in Perth , sulking and feeling grumpy !! Need cheering up today !"
lol Warney can't digest the things on..
 
Is CricIndia down at the moment? Surely the India-SA match hasn't started Day 2 yet?
 
"But to do that, they'll first need to get through England's wall - Alastair Cook. At least one Australian bookmaker is running a book named "Alastair Cook v The Don", the question being can Cook make more runs in this series than Bradman's 974 during the 1930 Ashes. Ridiculous as it seems, Cook already has 467 runs and we're not even halfway through the series. If he scores eight more this morning he'll have more than any batsman from either team scored in the 2009 Ashes. Gulp."
LOL LOL
 
Cook is in rather beasty form. Will probably take something special to prize him out. :afridi
 
Cook is due a failure and England due a collapse. :akhtar

p.s Can we not have any pretty girl disscussion today. :moyo
 
Harris and Hilfy will be there best bowler

Johnson is ala Sami.. should have played bollinger instead.
 
Australia have been taking serious lessons from Pakistan in fielding lately. :))) another one dropped.
 
So far 2 chances missed for a wicket. Yesterday ponting and today watto.
 
All this talk about how they've [Aus] been crap, though we should remember that England are a quality outfit atm.
 
Pitches it up too much on the wrong line and gets punished.

MJ needs to come on.
 
Smith will probably go for plenty. Need Johnson to do the damage - Harris looks steady but can't run through a side.
 
Unthreatening stuff as usual from Wasim Johnson.
 
To make it even worse, the fricking Willow feed's audio is about 3 seconds behind the video. :mad:
 
cricinfo = Michael has been in touch: "The latest cable release from Wikileaks confirms what most Australians already suspect. THIS IS NOT THE REAL AUSTRALIAN CRICKET TEAM!!! The real team was kidnapped by MI6 agents after the Cardiff test in the last ashes series. The players were then cloned and the clones inserted with a remote control capitulation device, the clones then released while the real team is being held at a top secret location somewhere in England. This is an outrage. We want our team back!":))):))):)))
 
Ponting must be saying "guys have mercy on my blood pressure plz hold on to your catches ".
 
again same bowling attack,they should have tried dirk nannes
 
Nannes is crap.

Anyway,
from cricindia -

Appears as if they're truly turning into Pakistan. Now the conspiracy theories are out. :butt
 
The pakistan team was crap against england in terms of batting, but alteast we managed cheap wickets withoiy conceding too many runs!
 
I don't get this much frustrated even supporting Pakistan team but this AUS team is pissing me off :pissed:

I think it's a combination of:

1. England are playing better than us right now
2. We played better than you (while you were here)
3. In England, Pak and Australia played about evens
 
Another rock in Jon Trott comes in. Classic defensive No.3.

Unbeatable? :amir

Had Pakistan taken their catches in England they'd have come close to winning the series tbh, their bowling was that damn good. :butt


Waaay too strong for Aus though who are slipping in reputation each game.
 
Trott doesn't always look great against left arm quicks. Need to get him early from an Aus viewpoint.
