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

GRRRRRRRRR, I wish the ball would stop looping in the air and falling safe.

 

[Adamc]

Excellent over from Giles, two or three that could just as well have been out.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Hit wicket?

 

[superkingdave]

what a way to go Shane! lol

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hit wicket wasn't it? I guess it was, one to go.

 

[Adamc]

Hit wicket?

That's what i thought initially. Did the ball hit the stumps? Whichever happened first will go down on the scorecard I guess.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Hit wicket wasn't it?

Yeah. He just... stood on his stumps.

Typical Warne innings really. He looked like a born batsman a couple of balls an over, and then did something like that.

 

[Burpey]

Lame, Shane, lame ...

 

[Magrat Garlick]

*breathes out, momentarily*

 

[superkingdave]

lol at Mark Nicholas just getting it now, the ball was about 6 inches from the stumps so what else could have happened?

 

[Slow Love™]

Good lord. Warnie, you klutz.

Can't believe he did that. Oh well, England will be breathing a lot easier now.

 

[luckyeddie]

Spread all three

And Freddie trying to get rid of another couple of bowlers for the next test too

 

[Burpey]

Up to Kasper and Lee now

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Warne takes the award from Sarwan for the most unexpected and un-needed moment to kick your stumps down.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Kasprowicz can sort of bat too, but it's hard to see him scoring many, while both Lee and Warne have a nice range of shots. Kasprowicz will probably have to just survive.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hmm seeing Lee at the other end seems to really fire Flintoff up...

 

[Burpey]

We can't possibly win but why do I think we can ?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Look at that first ball... and people say Giles can't hit the stumps from bowling a foot outside leg.

 

[Burpey]

Look at that first ball... and people say Giles can't hit the stumps from bowling a foot outside leg.

You're very feisty when it comes to defending Giles aren't you?

 

[Adamc]

Kasper on strike to Flintoff, who should wrap it up in this over.
