let the pyscological warfare begin

Be an interesting first morning here. Doesn't look like the pitch is going to do much, weather is fine, Australia batting. Pressure is going to be on Hoggard and Harmison to take advantage of the new ball before it becomes really easy to bat.

Happy to see Lee in the team too. Here's hoping he can justify my faith in him somewhat.

Weather is a bit overcast actually, don't think the cloud will last long tho so England need to make the best of it.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Well, I'm all set. Hammock, laptop computer, wireless LAN, Willow TV...bring it on!

Hey, you know of any way I can buy single matches on that site?

 

[superkingdave]

Right prediction for close of play score : Aus 322-5

(hoping for Aus 112ao England 180-1 )

 

[Pratters]

I am glad Lee (despite being written off many so many people on the forum) and not in the best of forms Gillespie are playing.

 

[superkingdave]

Don't know what Langer was doing to that short ball!

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hmm that lump came up quickly, nice one GBH.

 

[superkingdave]

Damn they just showed the bruise already its a nasty one

 

[Blaze]

Langer hurt.. just looks like a nasty bruise

 

[superkingdave]

9 off the first over

 

[Adamc]

Nine runs and a bruise - interesting first over.

 

[Blaze]

How close was that to a catch?

 

[superkingdave]

bounced about a yard short and wide of jones

How close was that to a catch?

The 4 down the leg side? I've seen those taken.

Interesting over from Hoggard to Langer too.

 

[Scaly piscine]

bounced about a yard short and wide of jones

Yea, Aussies certainly riding their luck so far.

 

[wpdavid]

bounced about a yard short and wide of jones

Oh, I hadn't realised it was short. I didn't think it was that wide though.

 

[superkingdave]

pretty poor first over from Hoggard

 

[Blaze]

Wat is Hoggard trying to do with this leg side line?
