[Dirko]

Manou

[wycbloods]

Great captaincy by Punter not to give the new ball to Johnson . Well done to Choco got the hardest one out the way the first one a nice catch. Well done to Siddle got us off to the start we needed.

[Pup]

AU 263
EG 0/-10
EG start -10 in thier innings becoz we have a wicketkeeper in the side

Prior kept well

And Manou has started well

Was a tidy catch thats for sure.

[heater31]

I have seen Haddin drop those this series............

[dedja]

I'm not sure Bopara is good enough to nick the ball on this pitch.

Prior kept well

no no no no no no
we [AUSTRALIA] has a wicketkeeper

Did we see Chokos catch to make it 1 for 2
Might have been 0/6 if the previous keeper was still in the team ....

Damnnnn shame should be an interchange in cricket
MANOU to keep
HADDIN to bat

[NFC]

That would've gone for 4 if Haddin was in.

[wycbloods]

I hope the Hilf can get this ball talking soon to remove Strauss now would be huge. Bopara will get himself out soon enough.

We hope so, If Ravi bats for an hour he will be 50

AU 6/202
JOHNSON judges a lifting ball well, leaves it as its bouncing 6 inches over the stumps
The ball hits the top of his pad
HANG ON
heeez out
AU 7/202
poor decision
But then again MJ did have a bat in his hand F....G USE IT !!!!!

No sympathy at all from me.

If you don't offer a shot to a ball like that you deserve to be given out.

what sort of comment is that, you have to be out to be given out not matter if you played a shot or not

Ask Roger Federer

[The Cadet]

Mitch is going to rip through them tonight, I can feel it.

[wycbloods]

Mitch is going to rip through them tonight, I can feel it.

I hope he comes on soon for Hilf, he doesn't seem to be getting right atm.

[dedja]

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.

Thank Christ the Pyramids are in Egypt ...

We have already had this argument on this thread.

And no you do not have to be out to be given out. I thought it was out and i think nearly every umpire in the world would have given it at full speed, Each to their own but i don't waste my time complaining about 50/50 decisions like that.

[Pup]

Good to see the Barmy Army have found some voice finally. Always good value.

I thought that in the 1st Test that they hardly gave a yelp, and when they did, it didn't last long. This one sounds like their standard 10+ minute chants like they used to do.

This is an English ground that is renowned for "Loud" supporters.

[Pup]

Mitch is going to rip through them tonight, I can feel it.

I had that feeling too. Its time for him to come on i think. Hilf is struggling.

Johnson to dismiss Bopara i reckon.

[wycbloods]

The ball is not doing anything for the Hilf hopefully this is his last over, he ain't bowling too badly just Strauss is happy to play shots because he knows it ain't swinging.
