Tell you what, that's not a bad shout. Katto didn't hit it. Bumble reckons height, but not sure.

EDIT: Called, Bumble. Height def on reply.

 

[King Pietersen]

Don't think Holding was saying that at all, just questioning the bowling he faced to average well in excess of a hundred, which is fair enough, and he has a point, the bowling he faced was generally poor whilst in England.

As for the Colville comments, almost certain they were made in jest. He seems like quite a sarcy sort of bloke.

 

[duffer]

He's like Botham with a plum in his mouth & no cricketing ability.

Once, when Boycs used to get a trot on Sky, Colville came out with some shyte and Sir Geoffrey responded with "What would you know? Club cricketer, you are." Firm, but fair.

Heh, I'm gonna miss Boycs this Ashes. ALways good value.

 

[Burgey]

Haha. Another series of foreign commentators subtly saying "well this kid is obviously ****e" whilst he makes truckloads of runs. What a time we live in.

Its England mate - always better to look like Ian Bell, regardless of results. **** me, three months of this Lloyd ****wit.- "Oooh err, Thommo hit me in the cobblers". Should've hit his voicebox imo .

Surely ABC radio is covering this to give us all an alternative?

 

[Albion]

Aussie forummers getting the sand in their vag early, and its not even the first test yet.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Weird Sky haven't even got a token crim in for this. Warne's doing the tests, but thought AN Other would've got a call in the interests of balance. Harvey or Stuie Law normally get the graveyard shift in the studio when Sky carries 9's feed for Oz home tests.

Dunno about this game but they'll do the tests.

Now Lloyd's comparing their two defensive shots. Looks like Katich is the new Gower compared to Hughes....

 

[andruid]

Ian Bell to top score for the Lions with the most orgasmic 80 you will evr see before lobbing one straight back to Hauritz (who gets 4 additional tail end wickets)

Result Both in the XI at Cardiff

 

[Burgey]

Who's the fella(?) With the blonde perm on the Pommie verandah? Put the camera on him and he started picking his nose.
They cut away before he ate it, obviously.

Hopefully runs do the talking this series for Phil

Onions bowling a nice consistent line

 

[BoyBrumby]

In Bumble's defence, Hughes's technique isn't textbook. Kudos to him for being so good with it, but (like Lara) you wouldn't coach a young bloke to play like it unless it came naturally to him.

& Harmy does him. Great bounce.

 

[King Pietersen]

Hughes was looking like he had Raina-syndrome this morning. Never looked comfortable against the short stuff. Bowling Steve.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Reckon England Lions are/were good value at 7.50 to win.

 

[NUFAN]

Bowling Harmy!

An unknown under-16 who might never even play county cricket, or might one day be England's best batsman.

 

[Nate]

Dammitttttt

Michael Holding's English now is he?

 

[Xuhaib]

England winning this time since the tone of the series is set by Harmy's first spell.

 

[Redbacks]

Good to finally have some real cricket to watch!!!
