***Official*** Australia in England (The Ashes)

It will be interesting to see what the people saying Mcgrath is past it have to say...

 

[Pratters]

McGrath does have the record of dismissing most batsmen of a specific team I think. It has to be him.

My query is how many test players from England has McGrath dismissed. I mean how many different players and not how many wickets he has taken against England.

AGAIN, I'm not saying the deck is a minefield and using it as an excuse, okay? I'm just saying it's less than ideal and England have two batsmen cleaned up by grubbers and two caught in the slips from balls seaming away bears this out. It's NOT a minefield but it's NOT a road either.

One cleaned up by a grubber.

I know it's early days, but on that showing Bell is not remotely in the same class as Thorpe.

 

[Gloucefan]

I also want to hear what Boycott has to say, he's said alot today.

Anyone here play Skittles? I think England do now.. Disgraceful pitch

One cleaned up by a grubber.

Add Freddie to that list now.

Yup, perfect batting wicket.

 

[Adamc]

Heh, another grubber. Poor Mr. Fred.

 

[benchmark00]

Marry me McGrath..

This pitch is a son of a b*tch...

 

[Pratters]

the demolition man

Why has there got to be an excuse? McGrath has bowled extremely well and the Aussie batsmen made poor shots and in some cases had a bit of bad luck (Clarke), There's nothing wrong with the pitch.

lets analyse

Hayden - got a good one
langer - wild shot in my view
Ponting - good delivery, plus he was looking uncomfortable after being hit
Martyn - got an absolute peach
Clarke - shouldn't have been given out
Katich - he was running out of partners tried to score & got out
Gilly - thats how he plays under-pressure
Warne - Crazy dismissal ended a crazy innings
Lee - good delivery
Dizzy - good delivery

McGrath is having a field day with the slope.

 

[King_Ponting]

this pitch, it must be said, is an apsolute discrace. The ball keeping that low on the first day?

 

[Majin]

Goodnight, Freddie. Who wants to take a bet on McGrath taking all 10? I wouldn't put it past him to be honest.

 

[NZTailender]

Not including this matches players. That'd make it...36? different batsmen.

 

[Arrow]

rofl mcgrath is bowling grenades out there. England are DONE!

 

[Pratters]

33?

Thanks. I think this is also a record.
