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

Hard catch, but that could have made a huge difference... four down only an hour in.

 

[Scaly piscine]

well my defensive to bell here is that none of the others who could probably fill his place (key or Joyce) could have done better. England would be regretting dropping the iron man... Thorpedo

I wish people would stop coming up with this garbage, how on Earth could Key, Joyce, Collingwood or virtually any batsmen in county cricket do worse than average 17?

Now what was it I was saying about beel being a hack ????

what are you saying mayn Bell is obviously better than them so the fact that he could only average 17 i dont think either of them would have done better.

It didn't carry, it dropped short didn't it?

 

[Demolition Man]

Eddie put it in your sig again !!!

Just, it was still a chance though

 

[cameeel]

Bloody KUERTZEN!!

Shoulda been LBW

 

[Demolition Man]

oh my that turned.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

What difference does it make if it hit him outside the line? He wasn't trying to hit it.

Anyway, amazing delivery, probably a bit of doubt but Warne usually gets those simply because the batsman looks so dead and beaten.

A ball turning that much will never be given (assuming they play a shot at it) because it is either going to hit outside the line, or miss leg.

rudi is a joker, wtf was that

I thought he did play a shot (even if it was a very late decision). Think it was missing leg anyway

Obviously better based on what? His awe-inspiring performance against Australia? Key was equally useless against Australia, but certainly no worse than Bell. Joyce is an unknown.

Are you kidding? they get paid by everyone but kuertzen

 

[Demolition Man]

Seriously fellas unless they are plumb the aussies aint gonna get any LBWs today.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Yeah, I must say I've seen Warne get a lot of those over the years. If a batsman goes right back on his stumps and is totally beaten by the turn and gets hit more or less in front of off (I realise this was fractionally outside) they get given a lot. Murali gets those as well.

based on performances in CC which is the basis on which they get selected for England, Bell has outscored them & i for one have seen all 3 bat on TV & at matches, Bell has the best technique to cope with Australia but has failed, thats why i dont think either of the rest would have made a difference.

C'mon Faaip...your letting yourself down with that sort of comment. You can't honestly said without a shadow of a doubt that...1) that he wasn't playing a shot, and 2) it was definately going to hit the stumps.

For me it was 50-50 ......I wouldn't have been suprised if it was given, and I wasn't that suprised that it wasn't
