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

[Nate]

C`mon Tait.

 

[Nate]

Hahah. Loosener...

Have they changed the LBW law, Bucknor has a strange interpretation on it, yet again Eng get the benefit of a questionable decision.

Flintoff was on 8 when he was give a life by Bucknor, so its cost us 50 already.

Who said this series wasn't about destiny for Eng, they've had any amount of good luck.

I think there was enough doubt for not out, if he'd have given that I think England fans would have been as up in arms as you guys are now which shows it was touch and go which in itself means it can't be given. Plus we've had 15 replays.

It was out easy Peter. Drifted to pitch on leg and being a leg-spinner, it came back a touch.

He`s had SO many this series, it`s crazy.

Clouds come over between the overs, and Lee gets it to move a mile.

 

[chalky]

Lack of intensity from Australia again allowed England to get 50 odd runs after the Pietersen wicket under no pressure what so ever.

If you Australians somehow produce the Flintoff "LBW" (hit on the line of leg stump, to what looked like a slider, 4ft down the wicket) as the turning point then it will go down as the greatest whinge in history

Are the words on the oval on the bowlers ends where it says the name of the bowler added by computer or?
They only seem to come up every now and then.

 

[Nate]

Ponting`s captaincy really is off.

 

[Nate]

Lee! What swing!

No, the painters come in before a new bowler comes in and paints in the name. Then, when the commentators have made their point, they run back in and paint it green again.

The problem is that the umpires seem unwilling to give any LBW's to Warne, theres been any number during the series and yet they won't give them to Warne.

Yet Bucknor gave Martyn out off the biggest inside edge in cricketing history.

It just confirms my belief that fate has decided that England will win, yes they are playing well but on top of that, they are getting every single 50/50 decision, and at the vital junctions in the match.

If Flintoff is given out then conceivably, Eng are out for 300, now they are 5/300, its the constant good luck flowing Eng's way that confirms their destiny is to win the Ashes.

 

[Nate]

Then, after that, someone has to make a sarcastic comment, and it`s back to the cricket.

 

[Nate]

Murdered.

Where`s Bracken...?

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Flintoff really on fire here.

 

[ltzergling]

This is not good!!!!

 

[chalky]

Atherton is only Englishman choking this morning

 

[PY]

Cream of the crop rises to the top.

Tait is going to take a pounding if Ponting doesn't start to protect him.

 

[Nate]

Tait looking tentative. Get in there, bowl some 95 MPH balls you tit.
