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

By the way, does anyone know how Tait is with the bat?

Crap.

He has a FC 50 from slogging, but really he's a true number 11.

 

[luckyeddie]

A Tait needs a bat like a cauliflower needs a quadratic equation....pretty catchy..unlike KP

It's S Tait, not A Tait.

I know it's only one letter, but that can make a lot of difference.

For instance, change the second 'A' in 'A Tait' to a 'W' and you've adequately summed up S Tait's batting ability.

Coincidence? I think not.

Odd, fairly defensive field for Katich considering he was nearly out first ball after lunch.

Vaughan is usually fairly defensive with his field placings, it's rather odd for someone with quite a strong team.

Gilchrist gone, Australia in a world of trouble now.

Edit: Absolute Beauty from Hoggard there.

 

[superkingdave]

yes!

 

[Nate]

Oh Bucknor.

Probably hitting, but benefit of the doubt to the batsman surely? Far out. Only just pitched on leg.

 

[Run like Inzy]

Its all over for the Aussies, only rain can save them now.

 

[aussie]

ohhhhhhhh sk**t not Gilly

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Fair bit of doubt in that one really. You never know with Bucknor, it feels like a lottery.

Oh well, that's game I'd say. Needed at least 100 from that pair, Australia would need a Warne century or something to win now.

Rubbish. Pitched leg, would have hit leg and middle.

Edit - would have hit leg.

Warne is in now. Australia 18 for 6 effectively. How many will he get. Got out for a duck last time.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Yay. Well bowled today Hoggy

 

[superkingdave]

at first sight i thought plum, on watching again, once it wasn't pitching outside leg, it was out for me

 

[Majin]

First time a pacer has got Gilly LBW, interesting stat. O:

 

[aussie]

interesting 1st time a a bowler other than a spinner that has got Gilly out

damn, Flintoff must have slowed down since the last time i saw him

That's one of the more amazing statistics I've ever heard, given the way he doesn't like being tucked up.

Whats with the no-balls? there have been so many in this series
