Haha, they have done this before... One of the advantages of an older, experienced team is that they shouldn't be too jittery. Haydos is probably singing a few hymns, Warne's likely getting off, McGrath's freshening up the tints and Punter's possibly at his dressing table giving the forearms a final brush before bed. The only guy probably feeling the pressure real bad is Clarke, who really will be under the pump.howardj said:I can only imagine what the players are feeling like tonight. I guess, to put it in normal people's terms, tomorrow for them would be like how you felt before your most important University exam; or how you felt the night before a job interview. Your heart is pounding like a jack-hammer. All you want to do is get off to a good start, to settle.
Spot on. You seem to know your Aussies real well.Slow Love™ said:Haydos is probably singing a few hymns, Warne's likely getting off, McGrath's freshening up the tints and Punter's possibly at his dressing table giving the forearms a final brush before bed.
Exactly waking up dead would certainly limit his hopes of playing.pasag said:I'd be suprised if he didn't play but it really depends on how he wakes up.
11 hours.
Yep and it would also be f***** strange.Gloucefan said:Exactly waking up dead that would certainly limit his hopes of playing.
Doesn't really have a bearing on this match, England hadn't won the Ashes in 16 years until 2005 didn't stop them though.aussie tragic said:Some nice Gabba stats stolen from cricinfo
Matthew Hayden has four hundreds in six Tests and an average of nearly 80, while Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist are both averaging 62.
"Even Shane Warne has three half-centuries and an average of nearly 35 at this ground, but what might really depress England's supporters is this next stat: in three innings here, Brett Lee has two fifties to his credit and an average of - hold your breath - 85"
In bowling, Lee averages 17, Warne 19, and McGrath 22
Finally best of all, Australia haven't lost at the Gabba since 1988 (vs that WI team), while England haven't won since 1986 (vs that re-building team minus Chappell-Lillee-Marsh)
All sounds pretty good to me
