*Official* Third Test at the WACA

[flibbertyjibber]

Hussey has had some luck today but at least he has shown in the series that he is up for the fight, can't say the same about many other Aussie bats so perhaps he deserves the luck.

 

[Sam Handwich]

Finn really does bowl some ****

He does, with the uncanny knack of taking important wickets while doing so, however.

 

[kingkallis]

Ah well, just have to have them 4 down by lunch to make it a worthwhile decision to bowl.

Shouldn't be too difficult to get amongst them though.

Tremlett or Finn to take the new ball with Jimmy? I'd go Tremlett.

Why didnt you wish for 5?

 

[Burgey]

this, unbelievable. Should buy a lotto ticket

He didn't have much luck the past two years or so. Was woeful tbh.

Yep agreed.

 

[Athlai]

He does, with the uncanny knack of taking important wickets while doing so, however.

Really don't think the knack will continue how it has done so far throughout this series. Deserves maybe a third of the wickets he has against Australia, has had a few gems though and a third of those wickets would still see him with more scalps than any Aussie bowler.

Collingwood? Sure Swann could find some turn on here

Collingwood bowling at 4/65 on the first morning of an Ashes test - Eng should be fined for taking the piss

Smith looks an absolute muppet under the lid as the bowler runs in

 

[Jacknife]

Tremlett looking the part out there, he really does have nice repeatable action nowadays.

 

[Ausage]

What an absolutely dire session of cricket.

 

[Ruckus]

Ponting's average @ 54.08 is so very close to dropping below 54 for the first time in 5 years.

I've noticed that before, his tongue goes everywhere and his face changes about 50 times. His funny in the field too, always has his gum hanging out everywhere.

 

[Spark]

Clearly a strategy to put the bowler off. Seems to have a lot of time at the crease though, doesn't seem too rushed.

 

[GIMH]

Finally just seen Twatto's face to Clarke's dismissal

 

[Furball]

Christ, you know things are going well when we go in at lunch with Australia at 65/4 at lunch and the Sky team moaning that the bowling could have been better.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

These two look ok considering the carnage that has gone before. With it being a good pitch to bat on i expect them to rattle up a decent partnership after lunch and put Autralia back in the game.

 

[hazsa19]

Clearly a strategy to put the bowler off. Seems to have a lot of time at the crease though, doesn't seem too rushed.

He's looked decisive in whatever shot hes played, which is more than you can say for alot of the batsmen.

Still he plays a long way out in front and a way from his body.

 

[Furball]

Botham, WAC.

Of course Jimmy did the right thing by going home.
