Reakon he did that in the field on day 3.

Possibly the worst performance by a captain this side of Kim Hughes...

Can't quite come at the criticism of Flintoff even tough the questions are vaild.

If he was 100% fit he would have bowled more this series, especially Gilchrist and the demands of captaincy appear to be affecting his batting. Maybe he is a Botham type who needs to just play and let anotther player do the worrying of captaincy.

Quite right, gets 201* and gets droped.

THUNDERSTORMS forecast for Perth today....another twist???

by **blink** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 11:59 am

Provided that the forecast storms don't ruin the party, I think England have more chance of winning the match than saving it.

If they are still batting towards the end of the day, either one of Pietersen or Flintoff must still be in and if so, they would have made their runs fairly quickly - they only need 292 to win.

Unfortunately for England supporters this won't be happening because Australia will win, I'm tipping before lunch or soon after.

I really don't think we need too much sympathy for people taking an overseas trip and being able to watch the Boxing Day Test

Okay, if Australia wins in Perth, we take an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the series. However, each Test Match is still important, and if the Poms see their team win at the MCG it would be as good as winning the Ashes.

how so?

by **blink** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 12:37 pm

Well they have been pumped big time over here, so just the fact that they can take a win away (remember we only had 1 over there!) would be huge for them. As good as winning the Ashes - ease up turbo, maybe not that big!

by **rod_rooster** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 1:57 pm

Well the Poms are putting up a bit of a fight. Flintoff is smashing 'em. How long can Flintoff and Pietersen keep this up :shock:

WAAARNEEEEEEEE!!! Flintoff bowled - TFFT!

by **Blue Boy** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 2:38 pm

What a wicket - the ashes are comin home !!!

What a way to be run out !!!

by **BPBRB** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 2:38 pm

Jones - run out for a duck, we say "Welcome back home" to the Ashes! Jones 54 innings before he made his first duck in Test Cricket (3rd best in history) now he has a pair!

Harmison gone - LBW Warne 1 to go!

Tony Greig is calling it tragic that it took the poms 16 years to win them back now they have been lost after just 15 months. F*ck off you quasi-pom!

Swallow that Greig. That is the one thing you are good at. Hope it hurts you loser. We flogged your other nation as well. Burn.

As the 12th Man referred to Greig as a "Part time soap dodger".As REB said,take that Greig,friggin turn coat.

Geraint Jones,LMAO,Papua born Queensland raised Welshman playing for England! How does the term "pair" sound mate?

OAMs are in the mail!

I hope that when Little Johnny recommends the boys for their OAM that he remembers every single person who contributed to us winning them back, including the Brisbane grade cricketers who sub fielded, and took catches, in the first test.
