Re: England v Australia, 1st Test, Cardiff, July 8-12 (II)

I would say any score of 600-5 is a big fat failure for test cricket but I'll hold my fire until England have batted again....

Cricinfo on Swann and Monty:

"Prodigious turn "

"what a ball - that turned and spat out of the rough, beating Haddin's massive swipe and flying to slip "

by JGK Sat 11 Jul 2009, 14:13

Punter will probably give Haddin a chance at a ton from here.

TBH, Aust may as well keep picking up 7rpo because it is going to be easier to score runs now than when we bat again.

by Invader Zim Sat 11 Jul 2009, 14:14

Haddin going for his ton before the declaration...

Nathan fecking Hauritz is going to bowl Australia to victory FFS. Doomed.

You just watch; very soon it'll turn into a ripsnorter of a pitch - just about when England are batting I think!

Now 89*. He'll throw it away though.

by JGK Sat 11 Jul 2009, 14:18

ANyway, Clarke with 83 is the 5th highest scorer in this innings.

That's can't have happened too often before.

Time to call Ashes hero and all round superstar Ian Ronald Bell then.

Lead of 200...

Collingwood, the pick of the English bowlers . . . .

Have got tickets to the Lords test next week but on this evidence I'd rather bath my delicate bits in broken glass and barbed wire.

by JGK Sat 11 Jul 2009, 14:25

Haddin on 94*, facing Swann.

A 6 for his ton?

by furriner Sat 11 Jul 2009, 14:26

Wasn't Bilal Shafayat some sorta teenage genius? Whatever happened to him can't be all good. And he looks ugly enough as it is.

Prior to this Test, 15 times has Australia made 600 v England...and they have won all but one.

I'm thinking of doing some ironing.

Why are the crowd singing, "God Save YOUR Queen"?

by Invader Zim Sat 11 Jul 2009, 14:38

Ton to Haddin...

New record for the fourth ton in an innings in an Ashes Test for the Aussies.

Cos it's so funny.

That and singing 'You all live in a convict colony..." to the tune of Yellow Submarine...
