Good ball this time now

 

[saeed-sohail]

On Trott

"He is ugly, I never played like that"

)

Geoffrey ripping into ugly Trott on TMS.

 

[Sledger]

Well bowled by MJ, bit of wobble in the air there.

 

[James]

good contest here.

 

[*sallu*]

Not a bad start from MJ - nothing threatening though

 

[AZ]

Ponting looks really fit!

 

[*sallu*]

:4

poor ball from Siddle

 

[cricfan4ever]

bowled out Aus for 120 odd on a similar pitch last year.

Sydney...

 

[James]

Trott seeing the ball really well. a lot on him.

 

[Sledger]

Crap ball by Siddle this time. 4 to Trott.

 

[Noork85]

:4

 

[*sallu*]

Another crap ball well outside off

Left alone this time

 

[Noork85]

Trott looks set for a century.

 

[saeed-sohail]

"Mid on drives are going to gully cover drives are going to square leg.This trot is one ugly batsman" GB
"It takes one to find one" says CMJ.

 

[AZ]

pretty disappointing pitch has to be said, nothing happening at all.

[Genghis]

Siddle loses his line for the first time and ...

 

[AZ]

ohhh that was a chance for a run out there, poor pick up!

 

[*sallu*]

Clarke fumbles

And run out chance missed

 

[Fawad2010]

pretty disappointing pitch has to be said, nothing happening at all.

+1
with overcast conditions, the ball should nip around but pitch is not ideal!

 

[James]

pretty disappointing pitch has to be said, nothing happening at all.

what a shame

 

[saeed-sohail]

pretty disappointing pitch has to be said, nothing happening at all.

Good wicket with lot of runs.

 

[atif.raza]

this looks the most flat wicket in Australia. absolutely no pace

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Decent recovery from England here

So far decent viewing - and I spotted a toon top in the crowd, what more coul you ask for?

 

[*sallu*]

Thats the over
35/1

 

[IT_Khumbee]

pretty disappointing pitch has to be said, nothing happening at all.

perfect pitch for Swann. He will run thru Aussies on 5th day.

 

[James]

perfect pitch for Swann. He will run thru Aussies on 5th day.

I agree

 

[AZ]

Good wicket with lot of runs.

who cares about runs, we want to see wickets!

 

[Sledger]

140k average speed for MJ.

 

[saeed-sohail]

KP and Strauss aside this is very workman like batting line up with no flair.

 

[James]

Trott cannot waste this start.

 

[*sallu*]

MJ looking decent here

Quite nippy

 

[Sledger]

England looking good now. Swing has gone, ball dies off the wicket - lots of time to play your shots here.

 

[Sledger]

KP and Strauss aside this is very workman like batting line up with no flair.

Very effective though. :aali

 

[Fawad2010]

Sun out now.
England should be able to cruise to a good total>

 

[*sallu*]

Johnson upto 89.2 mph

 

[*sallu*]

Its drink time;

First hour: You would have to say its par

 

[Sledger]

Aus should bring on the spinner. Pacers not looking at all potent.

 

[James]

Aussies looking ordinary as usual again. phew. come on England pleeeeeeease have a good day now.

 

[SOSami]

Looks like Trott is carrying on where he left off in the last series he played.

Key wicket. Aussie bowling looks a bit lightweight if Johnson doesn't strike.

 

[saeed-sohail]

who cares about runs, we want to see wickets!

Had enough of bowler friendly conditions last summer.Want some runs.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Doherty second worst first class average while making debut, Steve Smith first V Pak.

 

[GOAT]

MJ's gonna wreck England, this guy is ready!

[*sallu*]

Can't see too many wickets coming throughout the day

Cook might probably fall before lunch, but after that its going to be all England

 

[Sledger]

What a stat. )

 

[*sallu*]

Watson is on

 

[KingKhanWC]

Watson on, a very good move.

 

[DonJee]

Andrew, Walthamstow, in the TMS inbox: "Babestation on tv on silent and Boycott on radio - the synch is uncanny!"

 

[*sallu*]

Imagine is he runs through england

 

[Sledger]

Watto on now.

 

[*sallu*]

:4 first ball

Poor ball on leg stump

 

[saeed-sohail]

Very effective though. :aali

After watching prince azhar and Misbah bat I want some flair.KP special please.

 

[Strike!]

 

[*sallu*]

also on

 

[*sallu*]

 

[Sledger]

4 first ball. FFS, Mark Nicholas in the com box.

 

[Genghis]

Good recovery from England after a first over loss, and the first hour is pretty even.

Watson come on now and ...

:FOUR

 

[Wised up]

Trott is the new Laxman.

 

[AZ]

clipped off his pads, Trott looks in great touch.

 

[*sallu*]

: Australia have bowled too short

 

[Sledger]

Rubbish first 2 balls. )

 

[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

dodgy wide by Shane Watson imo

 

[*sallu*]

DRAMAAA

Hot spot shows Trott might have nicked a ball he was beaten on earlier from HIlfenhaus

 

[Sledger]

Come on Shane, just close your eyes and imagine its Pakistan...

 

[James]

LOL

go on Jonathan. I don't care if you're about as English as a szechuan special, get 'em!

 

[James]

LOL

go on Jonathan. I don't care if you're about as English as a szechuan special, get 'em!

 

[SOSami]

Strauss must be kicking himself for getting out on this pitch. Although that ball he got out to was there to go after so wasn't a bad shot.

Come on boys.

 

[Sledger]

Lol @ Chappell stating the obvious.

I think this will be a minefield on the last day.

 

[Sledger]

Shades of

 

[OZGOD]

England 2 down for 41, Trott gone for 29. Good bowling Twatto!!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Knew it was a good move to bring on Watto.

KP coming in with a blindfold on?

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

lol

clearly siddle n hifly couldn't bowl a real off cutter...thanks watto

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

lol

clearly siddle n hifly couldn't bowl a real off cutter...thanks watto

 

[AZ]

what a beauty from Twatson!

 

[AZ]

Kevinder off the mark, gets 3.

 

[Sledger]

worked out that Trott can't play those full inswingers. He must be credited with that wicket.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Doherty second worst first class average while making debut, Steve Smith first V Pak.

How mighty have fallen.

 

[Newton_fan]

Wow what a telecast by Channel 9. Can't ask for more. HD quality Game.
