*Official* Fourth Test at Chester-le-Street

[NUFAN]

A direct hit would have been nice there.

I assumed this was universal but now I think about it it's probably a dialectic thing. Over here it's pretty common for someone to ask someone else to "bell me", or give them a phone call. To bell is to ring basically. Think it has other meanings too though.

makes much more sense. genuinely hadn't heard it in that context tbh

 

[Pothas]

was referring to some comments made earlier in the thread tbh

Yeah I know but it is the same as 'cricinfo copy everything' line.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

this aussie team needs guys like gambhir and dhoni guys with real ticker

That's interesting, I always think of Border, then Lara for guys I've seen when it comes to "ticker". What's Dhoni's best example of ticker?

 

[Spark]

Warner's had at least ten cracks at the stumps this series and missed all of them, irritating.

"blow me" the formal term actually

What the **** ****, it's exactly what I said.

Bell - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

"Would have been out I suggest"? No **** Holding, he wasn't even trying to make his ground.

He looks an excellent fielder, I assume that he is normally more accurate?

He is trolling lol

 

[King Pietersen]

That was a beautiful shot. I'd be worried if I was Australia. Pietersen looks in ominous form.

 

[Maximas]

tbh I reckon his strength is getting to the ball and releasing it quickly

 

[morgieb]

Well...this is interesting.

 

[Top_Cat]

Seriously, picking Harris for this Test was a serious mistake. 10 overs in and he's blowing hard.

He's an athletic stopper and he has a decent arm but he's definitely not the most accurate thrower. About as accurate as his leggies unfortunately.

 

[King Pietersen]

Haha. KP is so desperate to take the strike, he almost considered calling Cook through that time too.

Strauss to comment

Those new age boundary ropes have ruined the aesthetics of this great ground.

Noticed Warner throws with his right arm, does he even have a preference or is he truly ambidextrous?
