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

[andyc]

A sub fielder cannot act as a wicket-keeper. Aside from that, they can do anything, and the opposing captain has no right of a appeal with regard to where they field, how long they are on for or why the other guy is off.

Meh alright then, just goes to show how much I know.

I thought the Antichrist was meant to be popular, rather than a laughing stock?

He's popular with me - gives me half my material.
Sanz gives me the other half.

Actually, I'm pretty sure a twelth man isn't allowed to be in a 'specialist position,' such as keeper, slip or bat-pad.

It used to be the case that employing a substitute in any specialist catching position was severely frowned upon. However this became rather discredited for bat-pad when teams started putting their worst or oldest fielder there (Nasser, Thorpey) and the rule on slip fieldsmen (maybe restricted to 1st and 2nd slip) rather disappeared. (although in this case it rarely becomes an issue anyway)

Alright. If Australia can bat until tea, the game is still somewhat alive. Until stumps and it's definately on.

This partnership and the next have to be big.

And on top of that, Gilchrist could have a trundle with the bat too!

I'll put it down as an oversight, can't see a WA boy not backing Gilly's chances.

Indeed, completely forgot about Gilchrist, then that should mean a bigger score than what I noted.

Urgh. After not being able to watch cricket for four years, I come back to Australia, the greatest series I'm going to see for a long time, and Mum and Dad want to watch something else on the TV. And they had thought 'we won't need another TV in the house.' So I'm back onto cricinfo

What about the radio?

What about the radio?

Ah good point. But that's all the way in the other room. I'll just sit here and pout.

 

[andyc]

Bell drops Clarke. Cricinfo said it was difficult though.

Can't you get a feed on the internet?

 

[greg]

Bell drops Clarke. Cricinfo said it was difficult though.

The only chance of catching that was off a rebound

Bell drops Clarke. Cricinfo said it was difficult though.

The ball just hit him, not a proper chance really, one of those that might lob up off a knee or something or get caught in the midriff - but that's about the only way you'll catch it.

Can't you get a feed on the internet?

Oh yeah great idea. Do you know where you can get one?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Bit more jam for Clarke.

BBC, for a start. No more Great Firewalls to contend with, right?
