Some great bowling by Warne & Clark this morning, Warne so nearly picking up a wicket in his last over.

Some great bowling by Warne & Clark this morning, Warne so nearly picking up a wicket in his last over.

I'm getting sick of this.

He better start getting the results he deserves soon.

 

[Goughy]

Hmmm, inches away from that. Shocker

 

[pasag]

Warne gets his first. Strauss gone.

 

[Matteh]

Bucknor's first wrong decision in the match really. Unlucky for Strauss.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

First really poor umpiring decision of the series there. Definitely not out, but bat pads are often a lottery like that.

Sensational bowling this morning anyway. Clark has beaten the bat so many times its ridiculous, and Warne's been better too.

 

[Matteh]

Probably the stupidest move you can possibly make. Going in with no spinners on quite possibly another featherbed would be up there with Ponting's decision to field first as Edgbaston last year. Flintoff is already struggling bowling with a 5 man attack, one wonders how he would do being part of a 4 man all pace attack.

What's Pietersen then?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

That was such **** umpiring. Far out. And Mark Taylor trying to justify it by saying "he was beaten in the flight, what a wonderous delivery blah blah blah"

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

What's Pietersen then?

A part-timer with one test wicket an an average of 200 odd.

As crap as Giles has been, he's still more likely to take wickets on a 5th day pitch or a turner than Pietersen. Not that Pietersen is bad for a part timer, but you wouldn't want him to bowl 20 overs in a day.

 

[Goughy]

Sensational bowling this morning anyway.

You really think so? Its been alright, but nothing to set the world alight. I wouldnt call it sensational, more steady for me.

 

[BingLeeElectric]

Hmmm, inches away from that. Shocker

"Inches" he says. Don't exagerate too much now, will ya?

Anyway, Good to see some luck going Warnes way for once. He must have begun to think the gods were against him.

 

[BingLeeElectric]

What's Pietersen then?

A prize prat.

 

[Matteh]

Dire.

 

[Goughy]

FFS
Look what Bucknor has started

 

[The Sean]

Gotta love this from the cricinfo feed...

30.6 Clark to Collingwood, no run, massively wide and Gilchrist does well to dive to his left and snaffle it. Great word that, snaffle

Commentary PLUS comment - who could ask for more?

 

[Matteh]

A prize prat.

I asked about Pietersen not your fine self.

 

[pasag]

Haha quality run out. If we can get KP cheaply....

 

[silentstriker]

Oh, how things change.

Best bowling from Australia since the first morning, I think.

And now there's three.

C'mon Warne!

 

[Matteh]

Oh dear.
