Hope he carries on trying, he won't last long if he does.

[SirBloody Idiot]

And Kato joins in. More elegant however.

Hmm and someone said that Gilchrist is nothing like Flintoff because he doesn't slog and plays genuine cricket shots... right.

Hoggards doing a Kasper

looking good isn't he & 21 off the over

 

[Burpey]

21 runs off the over

 

[Tom Halsey]

Katich worries me because he did it playing proper cricket shots... Gilchrist was having a slog.

Actually remarkable the huge difference in the conditions. After tea yesterday the cloud cover set in and Hoggard was a menace. Now it's clear and sunny and he's being taken apart.

 

[Majin]

All that and he still got a dot ball in that over, what the hell xD

He didn't bowl a very good over. He wasn't bowling too badly previously, and Gilchrist was a bit lucky and could easily have been out.

Ludicrous wide call there, Warne bowled one in that place to Flintoff (ie it was down leg-side) yesterday when he was on 99.

 

[aussie]

already very good signs for Australia, the suns out no swing for Hoggy & no reverse swing for freddie by god these two must cash in. Come on Australia.........

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Katich on fire! Brilliant stuff.

 

[Majin]

It's a bit early to be looking for reverse yet, isn't it? The ball needs to be a bit older I think.

Does anyone actually bother to watch the ball or do they just watch the slo... err sorry genuine cricket shots from Gilcrhist?

That cut shot was classic Gilchrist, and yes it was a genuine cricket shot. He obviously was a bit reckless off Hoggard's last over.

 

[Majin]

Alright yeah Jones on please Hoggy's confidence has been broken

 

[Burpey]

The runs are coming easy ... already 50-odd in 30 minutes

 

[aussie]

50 partnership in 30 minutes Brilliant stuff......

 

[Burpey]

Katich is batting very well
