2nd Ashes Test v England @ Lords, the home of MCC/Cricket

[Rik E Boy]

[Now heres a QUESTION for the experts
Did those decisions in the AU 2nd dig on day 4 impact on this game ??????????????
SCARDY CAT, KAT, HUSS were all robbed
But in the end AU did get to stumps at 5/313 odd
5/313 odd as as good as you would expect to be at stumps on a day 4 pitch ??????????

Here's a question for you. If we are 1/313 do we go on and win the game?

regards,

REB

Where were his fingers. Anyone who honestly thinks Strauss did not think it was a clean catch has as about as much idea as the guy who started the " Hawthorn are overrated" thread last year.

Thanks for comin.

that picture shows exactly why there is a problem with technology.

the ground where strauss is standing is sloping away from the pitch so where the camera angle comes from the ground in front of strauss appears higher that it actually is so where the ball looks like it is touching the ground it actually isnt

Vaughn is a cheat. If Punter claimed a catch like that he'd be torn a new one.

Yes I'm a sore loser. f*** the Poms!

what like hauritz did?

In a broad New Yorker accent ... you cannot be serious

Gee, Straus must have f***ing long fingers! ... and he admitted after seeing the vision it wan't a catch, so the dispute is whether he knew at the time of the catch.

Please don't tell me you think the Earth is flat as well.

Grounded ball, no part of the ball can hit the ground and no way his hands got there first

I love how everything seems to be blamed on the slope at Lords ... but maybe my understanding of physics is not as good as it used to be.

REB, don't hold back mate ...

im not talking about the lords slope, all cricket grounds slope away from teh pitch towards to help with draining, if tehy didnt everytime it rained the pitches would be ruined.

I think you might be using these glasses maybe?

If you are going to keep digging a hole for yourself you should call Andrew Strauss and ask if you can borrow his fingers. LOADERBOLLOCKS mate.

At the end of the day who really cares, its not like hughes would of made anymore runs!!
hughes will not make more than 200 runs for the series..

[dedja]

He deserves criticism for his performance on this tour so far, no doubt but to suggest that he has only played a couple of good tests and is not up to Test standard is a NFI statement.

Take out the South African series and two Tests against New Zealand, and he hasn't averaged less than 30 in 5 other series in which he's played, and he's bowled some utter goop along the way. Hardly the record of a world class strike bowler.

And you really must cease this annoying habit you have of telling other people they have NFI, or what they should be saying. Just because you disagree, doiesn't make you right.

LOL, so I'm not allowed to disagree with you, is that what you are saying? ... because of course you're always right? They're just opinions mate, there's no right or wrong.

I'm afraid that's an annoying habit that just about everyone on this site is guilty of ... having an opinion

That's OK, keep up your Mitch argument though, even if it keeps changing whenever you're challenged about it. First of all he's not a Test standard bowler and now he's not world class strike bowler ... which one is it? Bah, doesn't matter anymore now!

I look forward to your future posts because most of them are good, just don't expect everyone to agree with you

What odds you giving on Hughes not making 200 for the series? I would like to have a bet on that.
