Ah, but no Monty! Very Happy

Perhaps we could disguise him as Trott or Kev ...? Wink

Tony Greig's 'in depth' analysis...

Somehow you've got to get a wicket. Somehow you've got to slow down the runs. Somehow you've got to save the match

Thanks for that you genius.

Well, he does have a point. A bleeding obvious one, but a point.

Neatly expressed in terms of diminishing returns. The next two in the sequence would be "Somehow you've got to avoid an innings defeat. Somehow you've got to avoid losing by an innings and 250-300 ..."

I think he will be quietly pleased.

Don't bet on it. Victorian Bitterness is a strange phenomenon.

He can claim some pretty substantial bragging rights with Siddle ...

by Zat Sat 27 Nov 2010, 04:25

He's still sooking that (as he puts it) Siddle has been demoted from the Vomit Shield side towear the baggy green.

by Bradman Sat 27 Nov 2010, 04:25

This is good fun. Haddin looks set for a double ton, Prior got a first ball duck, Swann is even worse than Doherty, my stupid brother-in-law is predicting rain and qmy decideded $9.00 bucks on England was a good bet.

I think you may be overlooking Horace's sense of humour though.

Anyway, I'll leave you to the fun. Even insomnia has its limits. Smile

Just home from work, nice to see Aus not lose a wicket so far today.
I guess the NSP can take the Kudos for sticking with a previosuly out of form Hussey, and Haddin playing a support role to perfection. Cool

by Henry Sat 27 Nov 2010, 04:38

So what do England need to happen to draw this game? Bit of rain would help, plus some head scratching tactics from Ponting, Collingwood in no backlift mode, and some stubborn tail end resistance.

He must be positively choking on his own bile by now. What a partnership!!!! Shocked

So, this Swann bloke? Too early to call an overrated piece of crap?

So Fat Brezzy is a certainty for the Adelaide Hwy? You couldn't go in with Trembles as the 5th, shirley? Shocked

Shirley might be the one to get the chop if he doesn't smarten up....

The stupid bastard was supposed to pick up the last five wickets. Christ an average like TGM and a spinning pitch. What more can you ask for? If Straus hadn't farked up so badly he might have the confidence to say ' here' the ball dickhead, it actually get's people out.'

Aye. Strauss was apparently less than impressed that he broke in a new pair of boots this Test - and ended up with blisters!! Cool

Swann at Cardiff in 2009- O 38 M 6 R 131 W 0

Yep, keep going......
