Just wait until we bat! Can't believe the Poms. All they have to do is bat sensibly and pray for rain, but no, let's actually try to win a match with stupid farking shots off a piss poor bowling attack. What's the test record for wides in a test match?

There you go, you can bat to your hearts contents now.

The way the Aus batting has been that will be about Tea tomorrow.

You're optimistic.

I'm allowing for a rain delay

Hehehehe!

I think he's on nein. Been ducking out to the pub every now and then but stuck with crocinfo at the mo. I suppose I've gotta get used to 'bowler to Katich, no run".

sounds like lady di is bowling well

The news and 'The Nanny' (Gem) is on Nine at the moment.

Then the cricket is their third priority.

Seeing as England were all out prior to the official close of play can Ponting still be fined, banned, shot or something.

Just being catching bits and pieces since coming home from work, haven't heard TGM behind the mic.

no...tho I 'd take midge out and give him a flogging....he is painfully slow

by Bradman Thu 25 Nov 2010, 07:26

Western Australians. Go figure.

by horace Thu 25 Nov 2010, 07:27

crocinfo gets it right

"Anderson to Katich, no run, good, decisive crabbing from Katich across to off stump, gets in a good position to defend under his eyes "

by Red Thu 25 Nov 2010, 07:27

Well done to the Bushie!!!!

Never knew you were that way inclined Horrie. jawdrop

hehehehe...I did not mean flogging in the way spivs do (and apparently enjoy)

Thing is, their bowling just doesn't look dangerous, so I reckon it's England's to throw away.

Oops!

Which may quickly become bed time if the wickets keep coming...

Boo Yah!

Good call.

The guy is an inpenetrable wall!

All time great material.

I want his babies.

Bell is, and always has been, a legend. Just underrated by most. But not by me.

M Hughes, S Warne, D Fleming (and almost a second but for an attack of butterfingers by TGM) and P Siddle.

Big Dog wrote:Well...who'da thought Siddle had a michelle in him. All we need now is for the selectors to wake up to the fact that Johnson is crap & bring back Bolly & we'll have a half decent attack.

I could live with that, unless MJ extracts the digit in the next innings.

Asked the question earlier. I'm just hoping and praying he get's binned. Then we could have a real captain. Like my ten year old son, my mother or some park bench junkie who bummed a cigarette off me today.

Clearly the ICC aren't serious about over rates at all if Ponting escapes a ban yet again.

Testify! I hope so. The arrogant qunt deserves it.

SG wrote:Its also Siddle's 26th b'day today.

Anyone ever got a Test hat-trick on their borthday before?

Bradman wrote:Said it before and I'll say it again. Go to lunch under thirty overs and get docked some runs; go to tea under again and get docked again; finish the day under and bowl the extra overs, get docked again and captain to miss the next match.

I mean it's Ponting FFS it's not like he makes any productive use of the extra time.

It gives his heads a chance to talk to each other.

Or in HD. And apparently the anti-siphonuing laws won't change too much. Piss Weak.

At stumps, Aus 0/25. Watson 9 off 23, Katich 15 off 19...

cripes ....welcome to Australia mr chinhead ...when wqas the last time fleas scored 2 fours in a row in the last over of the day..

great day for England tho....a solid total on the board and their bowlers already on top

70-30 Australia at the moment. England need at least three wickets in the first session tomorrow to stay in this.

by Basil Thu 25 Nov 2010, 08:17

100 runs shy of a decent score on that pitch.

Poor effort but recoverable.

by Henry Thu 25 Nov 2010, 08:24

Stauss- Loose shot
Cook- Good ball, typical dismissal for him
Trott- Loose-ish drive to a goodish ball
Pietersen- Good ball, but quite loose as well
Collingwood- good ball, but could have left it
Bell- Running out of partners, out going for quick runs
Prior- Loose shot- the ball hit off stump and he was trying to on drive.
Broad- Good ball first up
Swann- Thought he could have shown more application with Bell out there.
Anderson- Cant blame him. Going for the runs.

Wallace, are you there tomorrow?

There? At the Gabba?

No. I'm not going to the Gabba. I haven't been to a test match there since the 1983/84 series against Pakistan when I saw Hafeez Handmissing in action. I just go to Sheffield Shield matches these days.

Are you going? Hope the weather behaves & you have a good day.
Very Happy

by Henry Nolonga Thu 25 Nov 2010, 09:38

With all this talk about Ponting and the run rate i can just imagine him letting England off the hook later on in this series by bowling Hussey or something crazy like that.

by skully Thu 25 Nov 2010, 10:30

Had to go out to a tedious family get-together when England were 8 down. What a grouse day the first day of the Ashes turned out to be!!!!!

Outstanding stuff from Siddle. I ducked up the road for some petrol and heard the hattrick on the radio - so I'll happily claim my part in that piece of history.

And Doherty was quite impressive. 2 for 2 for GSC. Now just p!ss Midge off for Bolly and the attack will be right. The big dumb Wozzie was absolute tosh.

So do we have a new catch cry - "no Victorians to be picked to play for Australia unless they are named Siddle"? Cool

by JGK Thu 25 Nov 2010, 10:33

To be fair to Ponting , there were 4 UDRS referrals today which probably takes up about 12 minutes. Not to mention 10 wickets.

He won't get banned.
