[Pedro Delgado]

the second test.wats the score??

So am I.

195-2 Vaughan 93* Bell 14*

 

[Scaly piscine]

England's session. Well played Mick, and jolly good show from Bell too I might add, he's still learning his trade at this level and looking better every innings.

McGrath and Warne after tea, if we can see 'em off we could be looking splendid by stumps.

If.

They really should be able to see McGrath off, the ball was in a right state. The second new ball *should* be the most tricky period later today.

 

[marc71178]

McGrath bowls Vaughan, no-ball.

I think Vaughan heard the call and played the shot based on that to be honest.

The way he was looking straight away to try and get some runs from it.

 

[marc71178]

Not unless Flintoff came on to bowl, disguised as Lee.

So Australian's never bowl no balls then?

 

[marc71178]

Ponting would rather bowl Clarke I think, but he's still off the field.

Could become a big issue that - certainly adds to the injury trend of the series.

Also, I notice McGrath isn't looking too clever in the field.

He's carrying on from Saturday IMO.

Mind you, he could still attract another unplayable ball after tea and people will be saying he's useless.

You serious?

 

[marc71178]

His reaction was immediate to look for a run.

That's not a bloke who's just been bowled.

Also the adjustment in shot comes from the way he hadn't moved his feet so much (as shown by the Analyst) - because he didn't have time to maybe?!

He is, and if he has to run round for a catch he might be in trouble.

 

[marc71178]

It's alright, Gilchrist will cover it for him

 

[greg]

I'm always nervous when a chinaman bowls. Dunno why.

Fair do's. I've heard batsmen say it's impossible to do that, mind you Mick is special .

Someone will ask him no doubt.

 

[Majin]

Uh, no it wasn't, his immediate reaction was to look at the umpire, he saw him signal the no ball and took the run. He hesitated until he saw the umpires signal.

 

[Slow Love™]

Yep. I really think that was a stretch, Marc. McGrath does look a bit proppy in the field, though.

 

[Shane Warne]

Uh, no it wasn't, his immediate reaction was to look at the umpire, he saw him signal the no ball and took the run. He hesitated until he saw the umpires signal.

Exactly.

I can't believe the tripe that some of these morons come out with.

 

[Shane Warne]

Fair do's. I've heard batsmen say it's impossible to do that

Unfortunately, what Mark85857656845684 said is not accurate though.

Majin got it right.

 

[greg]

You don't usually look at the umpire if you've been bowled. At the very least hearing the call put him off his shot.

Or maybe he just got a good ball, heard the call and then looked up?
