*Official* First Test at Swalec Stadium, Cardiff

[GIMH]

Good partnership, but there is such a long way to go. Both looking in decent nick in both innings though.

Both only one good ball from dismissal though [/poor analysis]

 

[Matt79]

yeah, awta with Matt, hauritz-Siddle combo.

Hauritz - Hilfy tbh.

 

[tooextracool]

Beautiful shot

completely unnecessary and exactly what the aussies wanted him to do. Hence not really.

Mitchell Johnson bowls 9 out of 10 balls to the right hander which can be easily left alone. It really baffles me why people even bother playing shots against him.

Grab a bat and get in there then . You can't be any worse. Just watch out for Warn... I mean Hauritz.

 

[tooextracool]

and Flintoff continues to play shots at Johnson's wide half volleys outside the off stump......

 

[ripper868]

Cya Freddy, here comes 1-0!

 

[King Pietersen]

In the words of Mike Goldberg: IT IS ALL OVER.

 

[Son Of Coco]

No real surprise Freddy goes first out of these two, not one to just play out a day. Good catch from Ponting.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Seeya Fred!

 

[tooextracool]

What a surprise, Freddie edges a Mitch delivery that had no chance of hitting the stumps. Obviously the Mitch fans on here are going to go into an orgasm about how much he deserved that wicket despite barely being able to land the ball on the square for most of the session.....

 

[pup11]

Mitch is just awesome, was bowling **** through most of his current spell, but suddenly out of nowhere he produces a wicket taking ball.

 

[wfdu_ben91]

That was plumb.

 

[ripper868]

Good to see freddy accepted Pontings "yes i caught it mate"

Doctrove in Non-LBW shocker - make it even for Bopara

 

[superkingdave]

Haha Doctrove strikes again

 

[pup11]

Billy Doctrove should be forced into retirement after this game TBH....

 

[Jono]

Not sure how you don't give that either. Hmmm.

Full balls copping a bad rap this test match.

 

[ripper868]

What a surprise, Freddie edges a Mitch delivery that had no chance of hitting the stumps. Obviously now the Mitch fans on here are going to go crazy over how much he deserved that wicket despite barely being able to land the ball on the square for most of the session.....

yeah mate, your awesome, all hail you.

 

[andruid]

Broad to do a Botham? in one session

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Oh ffs Doctrove
