And who knows, we may well need Jimmy to defend grimly towards the end of the Brisbane test....

Or hit the winning runs.

That would be assuming Aus can make the United nations of Pomgolia bat twice. shrug

Strauss goes early. Opening partnership remains a concern.

I wouldn't mind it if Bell opens with Strauss, with Morgan batting at six.

Magoffin crocked again

by Henry Sat 06 Nov 2010, 03:33

I'm a bit nervous for KP.

by Henry Sat 06 Nov 2010, 04:03

Trott is crabbing up the place- 9 from 55 balls.

by JGK Sat 06 Nov 2010, 04:23

KP seems to be doing it easy. shame that McMuffin is injured.

by Henry Sat 06 Nov 2010, 05:29

Not completely surprisingly, it seems that nearly all of our top six are out of form. FFS.

by Henry Sat 06 Nov 2010, 05:31

50 for Pietersen. well at least there's one positive for England.....

by Zat Sat 06 Nov 2010, 05:33

Bell off the mark with a six.

by Henry Sat 06 Nov 2010, 05:39

Pietersen out. FFS. They all seem to be getting out to the cut shot.

Thank God we have two more games before the first test.

by Henry Sat 06 Nov 2010, 06:37

I just hope that this is the wakeup call England needed. If we think we now just have to turn up to win the ashes we are sadly mistaken.

by JGK Sat 06 Nov 2010, 06:48

This England performance reminds of their first couple of games in the 86/7 tour when they got thrashed by Qld and maybe SA.

Of course they then humbled us in the Test series.

by Henry Sat 06 Nov 2010, 06:59

Not a chance that will happen again.

Monty can do that job.

by Henry Sat 06 Nov 2010, 07:08

Swanny and Broad with a quickfire partnership. England Declare, I assume hoping to bowl WA out cheaply and have another crack with the bat.

Exactly my thoughts, JGK.

by Nath Sat 06 Nov 2010, 07:52

can't bowl out the tail. it's a epidemic!

by skully Sat 06 Nov 2010, 07:56

Aye Nath. That flaw has cost us big time in the past 2 years.

by Henry Sat 06 Nov 2010, 08:18

God we are sh!t.

by skully Sat 06 Nov 2010, 08:20

Now now Trev, weren't you having a dig at Aussies turning their backs on their team earlier today? Cool

The Ashes might turn into a "God we are sh!t"-athon.

by JGK Sat 06 Nov 2010, 09:44

It is the battle for 4th after all.

It's been an issue simmering and bubbling along for how long though? Past 10 years?
