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

[Mister Wright]

Forgetting the test and series he saved in Sydney v India arent we.

I see where you're coming from, but you can only go on those performances for so long. If you're going to apply that logic to Katich you could do the same for Hayden and Gillespie.

 

[Shane Warne]

If England don't win this they can look at him for doing sweet FA thus far.

Don't worry. The umpires will make sure they do somehow.

 

[The Baconator]

Flintoff gets Gilly yet again.

 

[Mister Wright]

Don't worry. The umpires will make sure they do somehow.

The umpires are not the ones to balme for losing this test match.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Should be dropped, absolute idiot.

Even when you look at him you can see he's soft. He looks sickly and weak and this proved he doesn't have any balls.

Haha. Yeah, good on you.

 

[Mister Wright]

Flintoff gets Gilly yet again.

Gilchrist is Flintoff's bunny.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Good job that catch didn't go to Pietersen.

 

[Loony BoB]

Don't worry. The umpires will make sure they do somehow.

Oh, for the love of God and all things beautiful, let it go... I'm a neutral in all of this and I say just drop it, man. Poor decisions are made sometimes, but I feel you just take it too far.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

and i thought australian don't blame umpires for being in losing positions

No, most Australians don't.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Good job that catch didn't go to Pietersen.

Yea, I'm amazed he didn't drop Bell on his head in the celebrations.

 

[Loony BoB]

I'm not watching the TV right now, but did Flintoff do his big buggy eyed face again? I hope he did. That's entertainment in it's own right, that is.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

I see where you're coming from, but you can only go on those performances for so long. If you're going to apply that logic to Katich you could do the same for Hayden and Gillespie.

Err okay. What about Katich being Australia's third best batsman in India? Or his match-turning partnership with Gilchrist in New Zealand? Or his half century in the first test?

 

[Tom Halsey]

Vaughan on - got a feeling this is a good move.

 

[Mister Wright]

Gilchrist has least runs of the Australian top 8 and Katich and Gilchrist both average less than Hayden for the series.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Spin out of the rough straight away.

 

[Mister Wright]

Err okay. What about Katich being Australia's third best batsman in India? Or his match-turning partnership with Gilchrist in New Zealand? Or his half century in the first test?

Where was I advocating Katich's dropping? Social went all the way back to Katich's innings in Sydney against India almost 18 months ago.

 

[The Baconator]

2 good shots by Clarke off Vaughan, and he seems to be moving a lot better than on Friday.

 

[Loony BoB]

I take it Clarke is in okay shape, then?

 

[Shane Warne]

I'm not watching the TV right now, but did Flintoff do his big buggy eyed face again? I hope he did. That's entertainment in it's own right, that is.

I thought he was hilarious when he got out Katich in the first innings.

 

[Tom Halsey]

2 fours from Vaughan's over, but they looked uncomfortable.
