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

Where does it say that? TV coverage?

Ah no, that was in response to Pothas' post, just forgot to check the quote box .

Apparently Warne bowled some seam-up for Hampshire earlier this year on a damp green seamer.

Time for Dizzy to really step up IMO

 

[age_master]

well Kaspa and Dizzy will bothe have to bowl well to get a run in the 3rd test though Macgill might come in to it as well depening on the pitch

Oh right, that'll teach me for only reading half a post I quoted...

 

[Somerset]

Yep, definitely. Personally I thought he'd miss out after his first test performance but he's got another chance - he simply can't afford not to take it.

Brett Lee opening up. Wow that was wide

 

[Somerset]

Lol, great start from Brett Lee!

 

[Blaze]

Brett Lee all over the show at the moment

 

[Somerset]

Shane Warne, well, well, well. Could've given Gillespie a heap of confidence if that was taken...

Very hard catch. Dying on him all the time.

I realise that - I didn't say he messed the catch up, just commented that it would've given Gillespie a boost.

 

[Blaze]

Brett Lee is trying to bowl too full IMO. He needs to string some dot balls together first before going for the kill

 

[Blaze]

Yea i realise that you realised that, i was just defending warne

 

[Blaze]

Sky sports commentators are so boring and painful to listen to.

Good to see Aus trying to even up series.

McGrath injures himself playing football

Ponting elects to bowl first on a wicket that every man and his dog says will only get worse

Warne drops a catch

Martyn ******s a ball 1/4 of the way to boundary then steps on rope just to make sure Tresco gets a 4

Good start boys.

Gillespie's bowling nicely I think, but Lee's bowling trash. Wicket isn't going a lot either.

Going to be tough on this wicket without McGrath, unless it turns.

 

[Blaze]

It's still very early days.. Lee might not be very useful in this test

 

[Blaze]

Going to be tough on this wicket without McGrath, unless it turns.

Just as tough for England remember

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Just as tough for England remember

Certainly. All of the Australian bowlers can get wickets on flat pitches anyway, just noting that there's a tough period in the field now, and wickets will really need to be earned without McGrath or much help from the pitch

Notice the early footmarks? This pitch might well come apart quite nicely later on, and bring Warne into the equation somewhat. For a while though it's going to be very easy to bat on.

hmm where'd that delivery come from...
