3RD ASHES TEST EG V AU EDGBASTON 2009

[wycbloods]

What a start to the day.

Hussey will be praying he gets another bat this match otherwise he is in big trouble.

He'll need 100 I think, and the way he's batting it would appear unlikely. I think the end is coming quicker than expected for Mr Cricket.

Yep i thought he deserved to start this series but i was very disappointed when Hughes was dropped before him. His time is up now and he musn't be given another test unless there is a big innings from in the second dig.

Mr Cricket = Mr Finished.

Mr Cricket missed da ball?

Congrats to Ricky Ponting on becoming the leading Australian run scorer of all time

Yep, fantastic achievement.

Congratulations to Ponting, and this is the oval he has done it from above according to Google Earth:



Another English oval with corners in it.

Adelaide Oval No.2 would be a Test ground in England

Congrats to Ricky Ponting on becoming the leading Australian run scorer of all time

Yep, fantastic achievement.

I am sure people said it when Border become the leader but it will be a long time before that mark is passed, if the game is still around for someone to pass it.

Three batsmen out missing straight ones.

Our batsmen have spent too much time in the field watching our bowlers, and have therefore forgotten what bowling straight is.

Adelaide Oval No.2 would be a Test ground in England

Yep, just put a couple of tents in and some white seats, and voila!

[Hondo]

I don't want to see the same privileges given to Hussey as what Hayden received.

If you go back over the stats you'll find that if Hayden used up 9 lives, then Mr Cricket has used up 29. Hussey's run drought is longer and worse than Hayden's.

This form slump is now close to 2 years IIRC (may not be that long).

Agreed Mal, that was plumb, would have missed off, would have missed leg and hit middle

[bloods08]

We really struggle against the swinging ball. (always have to be honest) Hope our bowlers are watching.
