What a bloody useless shot Martyn.

Bad move to drop Katich.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Yes.

Utter world class!

All daft strokes. All of it. I swear.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Top celeb from KP @ 3rd man too! Think he enjoyed taking that!

 

[aussie]

what the f**k is happening at the bristol , world class stuff from Harmison. Now i wonder what kind of score Australia will be looking at.

Hayden is the KEY

 

[luckyeddie]

I remember a certain Graeme Smith of South Africa coming out with the phrase 'Mental scars' some time ago.

I like that phrase today.

What a bloody useless shot Martyn.

Bad move to drop Katich.

How can you say that, that ball could have easily gone for 6 or even fell short. Come on dont let your emotions get the you

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ooooh. Fred induces genuine edge from Clarke. Falls just in front of Tres.

He was suckered.

Clarke must be wondering what on Earth is going on?

He's come in on 57/3 in consecutive games.

 

[Slow Love™]

All too familiar dismissal for Martyn, even if he did get it over gully's head. Rare relapse though, given that he'd kept a pretty good lid on that stroke for around a year.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ok, Clarke's gone completely into his shell. Just a wide for a bouncer from that over. Is he right or wrong to do so? Similar situtation to yesterday & Oz were then def a few runs short in the end.

When you look at who was fielding there i.e Pietersen, it was pretty obvious what England's plans were. He fell for them. Brilliant tactics by Vaughan, Harmy and co.

 

[PY]

Harmison on, first battle of the summer between the Aussies and him.

Could be quite defining.

1-0.

 

[superkingdave]

yeah there's nowt wrong with the pitch, i don't think they can afford to just play it around atm, i would bring back Lewis and put Collingwood on to try and get rid of their overs whilst they are trying to rebuild

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Another wicket.

 

[PY]

Colly is a my king. Knight him now.

 

[superkingdave]

Oh My God!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jono]

OMG What a catch! Collingwood just took a blinder to remove Hayden!

'BRILLIANT!' How many times can I use that word in the space of two days.

 

[dinu23]

damn! I wish I had cable! this is going to be one heck of a series!

IMO, he's completely right. Trying to hit ourselves out of trouble hasn't done wonders on the tour so far.

And out goes Hayden - spectacular catch from Collingwood.
