Rubbish ball from Harmison. Breaks the shackles a bit.

 

[Adamc]

Martyn still hasn't hit a shot in anger today, even Symonds has been relatively circumspect. Till now, anyway, six runs.

 

[Neil Pickup]

One too many overs for Giles, then...

 

[superkingdave]

argh, Aussies are running well, the two's are frustrating.

argh an over too far for Giles? did they need to bowl him?

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Leaving Ash on for another over was an error. Should have gone Harmison, Gough, Harmison, Flintoff, Harmison, Flintoff, Gough, Flintoff.

Symonds shows why.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Symonds hits Giles for six, Blowers calls him Gilchrist by accident - what fun.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Gooch is a useless commentator, whenever there's a period where Australia don't get many boundaries according to him it's because of the pitch (which was supposedly perfectly true and reliable earlier), nothing to do with the bowling of course or Martyn.

 

[andyc]

nicely hit, andrew. we just want some more of those

 

[superkingdave]

Gilo came back well after teh first ball but he shouldnt have bowled

 

[Gloucefan]

Symonds hits Giles for six, Blowers calls him Gilchrist by accident - what fun.

I think Blowers is great, so bloody random...

 

[Neil Pickup]

You are a very lucky boy, Mr Symonds.

 

[superkingdave]

Symonds might have been lucky there

 

[Jono]

That looked out, and now he hits Harmison for 6.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Blowers calls Symonds Gilchrist again - how? One's left-handed and one's right!

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Wow. Close LBW shout, maybe hitting him just outside the line, and then Symonds plays a stunning shot.

 

[superkingdave]

Memo to bowlers, do not bowl length or short to Symonds

 

[superkingdave]

wicket needed or this could reach 300

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

This partnership is just stacking up now. Almost 150.

 

[superkingdave]

Brilliant Tresco!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[andyc]
