Jeez this series is gonna be a train wreck on here

Haha yeah, way too many nuffys.

 

[GIMH]

Don't get too carried away, apart from Pietersen, Hughes is over twice as good as any English batsman.

Oh, where to start

I'm hyped for the Ashes, and in general I'm hyped for it on here, love the banter between us and the Aussies, but some of the comments (from both sides) are borderline imprisonable

 

[Son Of Coco]

Could also ask Steve Harmison.

There's no point in distracting him with things like questions.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Hughes needs to get into the nets with a bowling machine and attempt to recreate Harmison's trajectory for the short ball

Just put the bowling machine on the roof. Problem solved!

Jeez this series is gonna be a train wreck on here

Yeah, gonna be painful to read.

There's no point in distracting him with things like questions.

Might drool on your tv equipment.

That stuff's expensive, you know!

 

[pietersenrocks]

And what about Hughes' footwork? I'm really not impressed by it, he wants to play every ball on to the off-side.

 

[inbox24]

Harmison should play at Cardiff as he provides harmony for the bowling attack.

 

[superkingdave]

Maybe we could have a separate thread to discuss the actual play...then another for discussing the players massive overreactions facepalm comments

Haha. On cue.

 

[pietersenrocks]

2 out of Harmisson, Sidebottom & Onions should play at Cardiff, instead of Broad.

With Jimmy, Freddie & Swann, ofcourse.

Can we give Inbox his/her own thread? Just to talk alone.

Yeah, should make a special Bay 13 subforum for CW.

Will never be as bad as the past two India-Australia series. Especially the last one out here. That was horrific.

 

[King Pietersen]

Don't agree. We'd have a long tail starting at 7 if Broad doesn't play. He's started to show genuine improvement with the ball, and is a very capable batsman, definitely deserves a go in the first 3 Tests at least. The one position up for grabs will go to either Onions, Harmison, Panesar or Rashid. I'd be tempted to go for Harmison, just have to see how Onions goes in this innings. If he picks up a few then it'd be harsh to drop him.

Shut up you convict ****

 

[tooextracool]

Message to Harmison: Stop bowling short to Ponting he aint Phillip Hughes FFS!

 

[BoyBrumby]

Harmison not exactly establishing his mensa credentials bowling there to Ponting. Useful puller, the boy.

And a wide half-volley first up from Onions. Katich misses out.

 

[Redbacks]

Will never be as bad as the past two India-Australia series. Especially the last one out here. That was horrific.

As bad as the infiltration of 'cheat', 'racist', 'we have x number of people' into youtube comments and cricinfo comments?

 

[jondavluc]

Didn't take long before people started getting googly eyed for Harmi did it .
