*Official* Third Test at the WACA

[hazsa19]

That's poor batting. Why try do anything other than play straight in that situation?

Can't see Colly surviving.

 

[morgieb]

Strauss in some form here. Gut feeling that he'll get a partnership with someone (probably Bell).

 

[vic_orthdox]

Still has a very good bouncer, Hilfy. Lot more potent when he keeps it as a surprise though.

 

[tooextracool]

Bloody hell, ****in annoying that he starts to swing the ball for the 2nd time in his career with the Ashes in the balance.

The ball to Trott was pretty much unplayable tbh. A metre from the batsman the ball was actually outside off. Extraordinarily late and sharp swing.

Agree, although that's the way Pietersen plays, always has

Yep. It really is bloody hard to play. The KP dismissal was clipping off but swung viciously. It's really quite difficult to do anythng about that.

Na

Cool story bro

Agree if any pitch in the world does not suit Colly it's this 1.

I agree, the reason why the English batting was doing better than the Aussie was due to superior fielding and sensible batting by the English.

 

[Jayzamann]

Someone found some swagger. :O

"well johnsons wickets have come from 2 or 3 overs of sustained pressure. like what glenn mcgrath talks about: build it up, build it up. that consistency"

what did i tell u 2 weeks ago? i said, the most important thing he had to do was get a plan going, start hitting top of off stump. just consistency
everyone said "OH NO HE DOENST GET HIS WICKETS FROM ACCURACY. HEJUST NEEDS TO BOWL AS FAST AS HE CAN"

--absolute rubbish. accuracy is all.

 

[morgieb]

Is that Gilly or Binga commentating?

Not in Adelaide. He didn't start whipping it till he was set.

 

[Howe_zat]

Really can't decide whether I hate him or not.

 

[dfx-]

Might.....just might Australia get England all out?

 

[Zinzan]

I agree with Tony Greig about Johnson having a crack at the press-box, he deserved to be rubbished for his performance in Brisbane. The press are supposed to call it how it is Mitchell, learn that !

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Finally we have a contest, about time Australia turned up.

Time for a Brigadier Block special.
