Hmmm...Gilly...

Ah well bring in Dizzy and nobody will get past him.

 

[King_Ponting]

[tassietiger]

I'm tentatively getting a smile back on my face since Gilly is beggining to look threatening

Before now

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

150 is the target.

 

[superkingdave]

How's that smile now?

 

[Scaly piscine]

It's just like Bangladesh all over again really... number 8 coming out to bat within 30 overs, no defensive technique, lots of rash shots...

 

[aussie]

its gone , gee what a wonderful reception for Warne

 

[Adamc]

It's looking like a slightly better repeat of Edgbaston '97 so far, and since Warne made 47 in that game, Australia should manage 200.

 

[pskov]

yes gone!

but then other news

Indeed..... christ not again.

 

[Langeveldt]

Australia need to be a bit less brash, arrogant and ****y when they bat.. Oh for a quiet accumulator, I think Katich and Warne might be the best couple here, Gilly was always going to nick one batting like that.. I don't think England will be so blase when they bat

 

[tassietiger]

Australia looking as if a 200ish score is on the way barring any incredibly talented batting from Warney...should be defendable - bet they'll regret picking Brett Lee now.

EDIT - I take that back lol Warney you master batsman you

Never thought I'd see the day an Aussie is smiling about their lads hopefully reaching 200!

 

[King_Ponting]

What the hell u doing warnie. Trying to hook a ball 2 ft outside off. Get it together son

 

[Adamc]

Hehe. The '' was more about the fact that I don't actually expect Warne to manage 47, though it would be nice if he did.

 

[Slow Love™]

With Gilchrist gone, possible targets are going to have to be dramatically re-evaluated - although I think 150 is a little over-conservative. I think we could limp to 250 or so.

Great day for England so far. It would have to be fairly heartbreaking to lose from here.

he's alone on that view

 

[aussie]

noooooooo, why is the sun coming out

Don't think you will be for a while either, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it happened this innings atm.
