***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

[gilCHRIST2]

but dont be surprised if they ride thier luck and win

With the amount they had on day 4 it wouldn't surprise me.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Would and should have been 2-1.

The best I will give you is 2-0 with a no contest.

Also in the first test I think it was when Pakistan bowled the umpires had ear pieces in and couldn't hear any of the edges. They got two guys out early who went on to get centuries.

These were suddenly removed for when England bowled of course.

Not another one...........

pakistan was shorthanded

woudlnt have lost if they had thier players

Equally England were shorthanded though, or do you overlook that?

not equally

 

[PhoenixFire]

Flintoff............

 

[mohammad16]

Flintoff............

no mohammad asif or shoab akhtar, if u think they both combined only equal flintoff then still consider the last test match, pakistan was in the drivers seat

 

[PhoenixFire]

Michael Vaughan and Simon Jones

 

[mohammad16]

Michael Vaughan and Simon Jones

if u include those 2, it probably evens out

but u have to keep in mind that shoaib would have been more effective then the one they faced in pakistan due to more reverse swing in england

 

[PhoenixFire]

Simon Jones can reverse it much more than Akhtar.

 

[GIMH]

So Pietersen to finish on around 200* and Flintoff on around 130*. Throw in nbs etc and England win by 5 wickets, some time in the evening session. Simple, really - can't believe anyone would think otherwise

 

[PhoenixFire]

If only.........



Flintoff really needs to get a good score as does GoJo, but I'm not holding my breath.

Take your blinkers off.

Pieterson 158 would be nice.

 

[Nate]

To be fair though, Simon Jones is barely fit, and England needs to be used to him not playing, much like New Zealand and Shane Bond. Akhtar and Asif are bowlers who are normally around, Asif moreso, and it was shown when Asif finally played the difference they can make.

 

[aussie tragic]

No, I just like him because he tried to kill the Aussies.

I knew I liked "Lillee and Thomson" for a reason.....

 

[PhoenixFire]

I remember watching a video of David Lloyd being hit in the crotch by Jeff Thomson.

I'm glad you can vividly recall crotch hits. It's like a mate of mine that claims to be completely straight but loves watching the *** scene from Brokeback Mountain.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Well it's pretty funny, I can still see Bumble's face twisting.............

 

[Langeveldt]

ah yes but Flintoff isn't a filthy cheat

This is the day we spell success F-R-E-D-D-I-E
