**** off ponting you whinging git

 

[Pizzorno]

Who do Haddin and the chimp think they're talking too? No one speaks to Lord Brockett without permission. Filthy criminals.

 

[Pizzorno]

Wonder what chimpy is shouting at Strauss about

Dunno, I doubt Strauss can here him over that loud quacking sound that's plagued him since this morning.

 

[hazsa19]

just let the scoreboard do the talking!

 

[Uppercut]

Gotta hurt being owned that badly having won the toss on one of the flattest pitches in the world.

It's almost as good a first day as Edgbaston 2005's "We'll have a bowl mate".

And i'll let Cricinfo do this for me; "Stumps Wow, Ricky Ponting and Brad Haddin are having a fearful moan at Strauss, who has plenty to say back in return. Probably something along the lines of "look at the scorecard". It doesn't make happy reading for the home side."

 

[Uppercut]

What really concerns me is what would have happened if Anderson had held that catch off Hussey when he was in single figures.

 

[Ikki]

****.

 

[Spark]

So all in all a mirror image of Brisbane. A way-below-par but not disastrous total on the first day on a good batting deck.

 

[Prince EWS]

but they give rights to sports channel rite ?? BCCI have a rule which states that you should have at least on dedicated sports channel which forced our Govt to start a sports channel

Haha nah the rights don't go to a sports channel - it's actually illegal for big events to go to sports channels here...

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Strange there is a lack of Aussies in this thread this morning.I wonder why?

Boycs in fine form on TMS review of the day.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

****ing hell has anyone got a stream for this?

It's bloody lunacy that I can get uninterrupted coverage in NZ (albeit on Cable) but you can't over in Aus. Bloody lunacy.

:

We are sick in the tummy.

 

[Jarquis]

Thats unbelievable!

Now I know why SRT and MSD refuse to use UDRS. Bloody geniuses!

Harris surely edged it.

You're missing the fact that it had more chance if being overturned with eagleye than without.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Harris has 1 in his last 1.

So do Prior and Broad

 

[Prince EWS]

So do Prior and Broad

Not to mention Ponting and Katich.

Arrogant Poms make us ill. We're just having a quick spew.

Just the first day lads. Long long way to go.

HJ beats me to it.

 

[hazsa19]

showing the wickets again on sky, love that reaction from kp after catching twatto

Don't think Australia will be able to bat this one out late in the game though. England's attack is miles better than Australia's was for the last test.

 

[Ruckus]

We are sick in the tummy.

Heres something from Piers Morgan, the human emetic:

"is there anything in life sweeter than having the Aussies on the run in their own backyard? seriously?"
