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

[Burpey]

Ponting to score a 50+score today

Seems happy to watch Hayden from the non-strikers end which is good. He'll also enjoy the fairly ordinary English bowling

 

[aussie]

i missed the entire 1st session but anyway things look good for Australia, i see my boy Hayden is moving along nicely on 32 . Englsih fans will be happy to see KP getting to 50 since Thorpe has announced his retirement...

 

[Nate]

*touch wood*

 

[Burpey]

Felt sorry for S Jones ... looked like he was on the way to a century

 

[aussie]

Yeah. The Channel 4 commentary team is great, with the two best commentators in the world imo, but those studio interludes are ridiculous, I'd rather just listen to the Channel 4 guys.

yep thats right Nicholas & Benaud are great, the Channel 9 commentary team in Australia are also pretty good as well...

 

[chris.hinton]

Channel 4 coverage is much better then Sky and that boring Bob Wills.


England face a tall order i can see the aussies getting 400 and Giles get smacked

 

[chris.hinton]

i may have spoke too soon Hayden is out

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Not a great shot by Hayden there. He was looking so good too.

 

[Majin]

I'm backing Martyn to make some runs now, though.

I was talking about Boycott and Benaud. I do like Nicholas and Slater too though, and Atherton and isn't bad.

 

[Jono]

Poor execution of the pull shot, but well bowled Freddy. Made him play, good high bounce, well done.

 

[aussie]

Jesus Matty just when i thought u were going to make a big one, that 24 innings without a century..........

Boycott is funny to me but not in my top 2, Benaud & Nicholas all the way........

 

[Nate]

Well done Aleem Dar.

 

[Majin]

No way, Benaud and Boycott are the ultimate team, even though I do like Botham and Holding on Sky. Boycs makes me **** myself every time he commentates.

 

[Jono]

Well done Aleem Dar.

Geez how did he see that inside edge. I thought Ponting was gone. Brilliant decision.

Great ball by S Jones though. He's gotta bowl like that more often!

 

[chalky]

I like Holding hate Botham though. He is more of a cheerleader than a commentator. He should commentate in a skirt and carry pom poms.

 

[chalky]

Jones reminds me of Dean Haedly in that he bowls some unplayable deliveries in with a load of crap.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Jones bowling trash here. Bowls one good ball, then on to the pads.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Certainly are some unplayable deliveries in with a load of crap, commiserations on being in Hartlepool by the way...
