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

[Nate]

EDIT - Yes, you beat me, well done.

Sorry.

I`d bowl Giles now.

 

[luckyeddie]

And England bowl a variety of rubbish to the tailenders as usual so even muppets like Warne can hit safe 4s.

Stop watching the game on teletext you idiot - they were absolute quality shots

 

[Nate]

Hahah awesome stat.

Australia`s tail has averaged 92 this series.

 

[shaka]

yes they were good shots indeed.

 

[Nate]

Hoggard around the wicket - good idea.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Stop watching the game on teletext you idiot - they were absolute quality shots

You're the moron I'm afraid, that's the whole point, if he can hit 3 safe 4s in an over you're bowling rubbish.

 

[Adamc]

Hoggard around the wicket - good idea.

He must've heard you - back over the wicket now.

 

[Knopfler]

LBW that is...

btw why is every run worth double? I see where its coming from...but what reason are Australia getting runs for other than making England score them too.

Tony Greig is, well, stupid. Whatever you score, the other team has to beat, thats basically the game.

In a similar case, but playing for a draw, its different. This is because the time is fixed, and if it takes you 1 minute to score 1 run, and likewise for the opposition, then scoring 1 run eats up 2 minutes.

 

[Nate]

Gah, sleep-time soon.

Warne to make a 100 - a 100 that will change the match into an absolute thriller that Australia will win, and it will be talked about for ages.

...

 

[shaka]

like the 100 he made against NZ ? haha

 

[SpaceMonkey]

looked like it pitched miles outside leg then on live view?

*edit* yep replays shows it did....poor guy...not that im complaining

 

[shaka]

...and the wicket of Katich arrives.

 

[Knopfler]

too high

EDIT: honestly thought it pitched in line when I saw it, but well outside on the replay

 

[Majin]

GBH strikes, Katich gone. Going over though, at least it looks that way.

 

[shaka]

and too high, anyways Harmison finally gets a wicket.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Oh boy we'll be hearing about that one for months now...

 

[Adamc]

"Probably pitched in line"... what the hell. Really poor decision unfortunately.

 

[Simon]

aleem dar should be shot, this is ****ed...

 

[shaka]

Here comes Bing

 

[shaka]

Aleem Dar isn't the only one who should be shot, Bucknor would be a target too.
