[James]

[Atif]

Another boundary for Hughes, Tremlett is getting some treatment.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Inside edge

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Hughes 10*

 

[Deewana Mastana]

10/0 after 2 overs

 

[Atif]

10 off the over so far

Great start by Tremlett.

 

[Newton_fan]

Didn't noticed that our Beloved umpire Aleem Dar is Umpiring in this match.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Cut away by Watson

Dropped again this time KP

 

[CricnPak]

Dropped again.

 

[Atif]

Lol Watson dropped again hahaha this time it's Kp.

 

[Newton_fan]

KP dropped the Catch

 

[James]

awful start in general.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good comeback by Jimmy

 

[saj001]

LOL again

 

[Deewana Mastana]

KP in a bit of discomfort

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

A Couple to Watson .. he is off the mark.

 

[James]

Pakistan-esque?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Watson surely riding on some luck here

2 drops in just 8 balls he faces

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Driven away by Watto for a couple

Good shot 3 runs!

 

[Atif]

Nicely driven for three by Watson.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

watson needs to score a century. Two lifelines needs to make the most of it

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Another 3 runs to Watto

 

[Newton_fan]

Good shot

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Pakistan-esque?

Getting there mate.

 

[CricnPak]

Jimmy's bowling well though.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Yeh jimmy is bowling well but tremlett and bresnan wouldnt be scaring the Aussies. Weak Bowling line up

 

[Newton_fan]

How many of you are going to leave this thread after 1 Hour 15 minutes

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

So, Aus 15/0 after 3 overs.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Feel sorry for Jimmy Anderson, tried everything, fielders are letting him down

 

[Atif]

Watson seems to be struggling with pace and bounce out there...

 

[ddss]

gone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Watson gone!

 

[saj001]

****

 

[pakbl10]

out!

 

[Atif]

Watson is out, third time lucky for England.

 

[CricnPak]

Ricky comes out on a live Ashes Boxing Day Test! This could be epic.

 

[Newton_fan]

Watson Time to Drop him from the team

 

[DeadlyVenom]

lol after I basically said tremlett was crap he gets a wicket. should have stayed quiet

 

[KingKhanWC]

Good bounce, does the job. Watson walks off.

 

[Atif]

Ponting will be peppered with short balls no doubt with his injured finger...

 

[James]

wonderful stuff from CT.

what a dreadful innings by Watson. 2 dropped catches, played and missed and then bounced out. lasted about 10 balls and gave 3/4 chances.

 

[Noork85]

Drat

 

[James]

lol after I basically said tremlett was crap he gets a wicket. should have stayed quiet

16 wickets in 3 games on this tour before this one. he no bad...

 

[ddss]

Ponting <3!!

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Watson

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Chris Tremlet should be picked for the World Cup squad, he's better than Finn

 

[Atif]

Wicket maiden for Tremlett.

 

[James]

fantastic keeper Matt Prior is. in the old days of Geraint Jones that would have been five wides.

nobody ever seems to notice.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Superb over from the giant. This bloke has changed big time since his last test outing.

 

[Newton_fan]

Good Over..

 

[James]

Superb over from the giant. This bloke has changed big time since his last test outing.

I thought he did aight against India. 13 wkts at 29 in 3 tests. and again he is having a good tour. not looking like a bad bowler at all.

 

[James]

Anderson has taken a fair few wickets at the other end this tour, if you get what I mean.

 

[Atif]

Looked like Monty was eating his facial hair Ewww !!!

 

[CricnPak]

fantastic keeper Matt Prior is. in the old days of Geraint Jones that would have been five wides.

nobody ever seems to notice.

I've noticed, since his comeback, he's kept superbly. Right now, I'd think he's the best, better than Haddin or Boucher.

 

[CricnPak]

Good 5 overs of Test cricket so far..

 

[James]

I've noticed, since his comeback, he's kept superbly. Right now, I'd think he's the best, better than Haddin or Boucher.

aye, Matty also has a test batting average of 40 - not a cricketer to be scoffed at

 

[James]

Tremlett enjoys bowling to Hughes...come on

 

[KingKhanWC]

Bowling really well these two. Aus batters need to leave the ball until it gets softer.

 

[Newton_fan]

Single

 

[CricnPak]

Bowling really well these two. Aus batters need to leave the ball until it gets softer.

Still not convinced it's a bowl first wicket though. Hasn't done enough for me.

 

[CricnPak]

Close run there, could have been out Hughes.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Missed the timbers!

 

[James]

Tremlett's action is gorgeous. If he stays fit he can provide some great competition over the next few years. That's the problem - staying fit. Graham Onions was another good prospect struck down by injury.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Is Ponting waiting to get a ?

 

[Atif]

Hughes could have been run out had Cook hit the stumps...poor running from Aus

 

[Newton_fan]

Almost Run Out.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Here we Go.. Ponting off the Mark..

 

[James]

Still not convinced it's a bowl first wicket though. Hasn't done enough for me.

I'll agree there, but they are still creating plenty of chances. If they can bowl them out on day one, fair play to them.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Cook misses it by a whisker!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Tremlet is my 2nd favorite bowler now after jimmy Anderson.

 

[Atif]

Single for pointing, he's playing cautiously out there...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good one by Jimmy

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good take down the legside by Prior

 

[DeadlyVenom]

England on top. Some excellent bowling.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

19/1 after 7 overs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Really good bowling so far by England

Created some chances with taking 1 so far

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bumble and Warney in the box now

 

[CricnPak]

I'll agree there, but they are still creating plenty of chances. If they can bowl them out on day one, fair play to them.

I tell you what though, I think the pitches have been really good in this series for a fair contest. Besides the second half of Brisbane, the bowler's have always had something for them.
