*Official* Fifth Test at the SCG

[zaremba]

Pretty frustrating not to have taken a wicket yet. We've bowled pretty well overall (and Tremlett really well) in fairly helpful conditions and a couple of quick wickets would be in order

 

[Jono]

Get a wicket Bresnan. Need some Cricinfo fantasy points.

 

[morgieb]

You going the game any day morgieb?

Nah probably not, not enough money + useless test = only on TV most likely. Plus, I'd only probably go if mates were going.

 

[Uppercut]

Love watching Hughes's offside play.

 

[GIMH]

Hughes seems such a confidence player; when he gets a boundary, always seems more likely to get another.

 

[Ruckus]

Hughes

 

[zaremba]

Don't. Bowl. There. To. The. Runt.

 

[TumTum]

That's what I love about Hughes, gorgeous to watch him playing strokes.

 

[Burgey]

A fistfull of fannies?

Best of the lot so far.

Yeah was a bit surprised Clarke decided to bat, especially after last year.

The test they won? Honestly, it's a five day match and it always turns here. You expect to have it tough first hour. Deal with it.

What a fantastic back foot drive from Hughes. One of the hardest shots in cricket to execute, and IMO one of the best to watch.

 

[joels344]

That was beautiful, Hughes.

 

[slippy888]

Tremleet bowling too short if you want to be critical.

 

[Jacknife]

Needs to bowl fuller Bresnan and a little straighter.

 

[Burgey]

Can't believe Hughes has lasted this long to be perfectly honest

Batted better than Watson tbh. Leaving the ball well. Been beaten a couple of times but by jaffas. He's looked pretty compact IMO.

 

[Spark]

Been a bit short England.

 

[GIMH]

Anderson back on after drinks I guess.

 

[pasag]

No Test is ever "useless", regardless of the series scoreline (and this one is still alive ffs!)

 

[Burgey]

Tremleet bowling too short if you want to be critical.

Yeah was just about to say that. A smidgeon short if anything.

 

[GIMH]

ooooooooooh

 

[slippy888]

Is it time for swann to weave his magic

 

[Burgey]

Anderson back on after drinks I guess.

Very little swing for him today.

Just shows he can't bowl in Australian conditions
