Different rules, same pattern...

 

[aussie]

ok Matty we dont want to be driving to many deliveries in air past Collingwood now.

 

[aussie]

Jesus Christ , is it me or is it a pattern every f**king time Australia look like their getting away from England throughout the summer, they keep striking back.

Frankly i cant take much more of this.

Nothing's changed - Harmison get wicket off crap delivery and Hayden gives his wicket away for the 59th time in succession.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Absolutely rubbish bowling all round, was only a matter of time before Flintoff & Harmison didn't quite get it right to rescue the rubbish the opening bowlers served up.

 

[aussie]

England wasting the conditions, bowling way too short.

We've seen this at Leeds before, of course. Shades of India in 2002 & SA in 2003. As I said earlier, I would imagine McGrath will clean up on this track.

Watch your blasphemy, mate.

yep thats true, bowlers tend to get silly when bowling at Headingly, but when Pigeon gets the ball this afternoon he'll show all how to bowl perfectly on this pitch.

 

[aussie]

Watch your blasphemy, mate.

OK, now I'm confused. First look and replay suggest a massive edge, and Ultra Motion suggests nowt. But what was the noise?!

 

[Scaly piscine]

Anyway I would have preferred England to have played Prior as sub instead of Solanki, but I was half-expecting it as teams will no doubt be bluffing and double bluffing over who'll be substitute, I'd be surprised if the substitute was regularly the same player as well.

Have decided it must have been out. The ball changes direction... wonder what Gilchrist will have to say to him later?

And what a horrible shot from Ponting. Justice done?

yep it bemused me as well

simple he should have walked

 

[age_master]

Have decided it must have been out.

certainly looked out to me

 

[aussie]

well he's gone anyway.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Keeps happening - umpire decides not to give decision, batsman corrects error with poor shot.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Third time in a row Collingwood has gotten Symonds now (1 was a run-out). I presume Solanki will be coming on for the taff shortly.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Now I see why Clarke averaged so well in the CC last year... shot selection!
