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

[Nate]

No none of the above was said, in fact all the Aussies on here thought that Taits debut was one of the worst in history.

What?! Far out. Let me guess, Mister Wright?

Not many people are a fan of Tait really, dunno whether it`s because he`s South Australian or because of his action. His first spell was poo, but his second was right on the money. When I saw the pitch, and then saw him coming on to bowl, it was looking good. But his second spell was great. On a crap pitch, on your debut, he got two wickets. I don`t give a &^(#^^$(_&+# how expensive you are, if you pick up regular wickets and it all averages out to be about 30 or less.

I thought Kasper was unlucky, but too many no-balls. Lee was average, says I as he is hit for four.

Give him a go dammit, the English won`t, so you Australians damn well better.

Pedro was kidding mate. Everyone agrees I'm sure that Tait was excellent yesterday.

 

[ltzergling]

Yes that was an awful start PY. looks like Lees pretty worried about no balls.

 

[Nate]

Trescothic made it look better than it actually was. much like haydens dismissal at lords to hoggard

It swung in a lot and late.

 

[Pratters]

Off day from factory today means I can watch some of the Ashes. Feel extremely lucky!

 

[Burpey]

Early wickets ... what are the chances ?

Early wickets ... what are the chances ?

Lee doesn't look like it honestly. Warne had a nice start, but there's no help for anyone in the wicket again this morning. Lee just absolutely smashed that ball into the pitch short of halfway and it barely got to head height. No menace in it whatsoever.

 

[PY]

Did anyone see how Pietersen adjusted to that legside ball from Warne?

Very very quick hands.

 

[Nate]

That is out! C`mon! Hitting leg easy!

 

[PY]

Crap.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

That was out I think, but you can see why Bucknor didn't give it. Warne's getting really frustrated though, he's had so many good shouts turned down this series. He might well get himself in trouble if he keeps looking so ****ed when one gets turned down.

And a wicket as I type!

Hes Gone

 

[Nate]

That is out! C`mon! Hitting leg easy!

And LEE!

 

[Pratters]

Very good decision by Dar?

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Very good decision by Dar?

Brilliant decision. He has been flawless all series, wonderful umpire.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Another utterly poor dismissal, Bell edges a straight half-volley and now KP edges a yorker.

 

[Nate]

Brilliant decision. He has been flawless all series, wonderful umpire.

Agreed Faaip.

And Warne`s LBWs. Shocking! Another one not even considered. It is so out though. Hitting leg and a bit of middle. C`mon...

 

[andyc]

First ball I actually watch after doing something on the computer and I see Lee get Pieteresen out. Not bad at all. Massive wicket for Australia there. Hopefully another quick one to follow and we'll clean them up.

 

[Blaze]

Another utterly poor dismissal, Bell edges a straight half-volley and now KP edges a yorker.

Right on cue...

 

[PY]

Think Freddie might well get stuck in now and as I type wallops one over gully.
