*Official* Third Test at the WACA

[TumTum]

I really wanted to see Smith bowl

 

[Ruckus]

Weren't you saying 2 tests ago that Hilfenhaus struggles because the other bowlers weren't bowling well enough, and that if they bowled better, he'd take more wickets?

Don't remember saying that, must have been someone else.

 

[benchmark00]

Jeez Prior's a gigantic ****wit.

 

[hazsa19]

Should have sent Bell in to face MJ rather than Colly. I love Colly, he's great on slow low wickets, but he was never going to survive. He goes so deep in his crease and was a sitting duck to that late swing.

 

[Howe_zat]

Have to give credit to Ponting, I suppose. To a man the Sky comms were saying it was a poo tactic, but the ptoof of the pudding...

Why am I imagining this tactic to involve smoke bombs disguised as cricket balls and/or ice cream bombe?

 

[GIMH]

What a way to get to 50

You can't be hiding your #5 for your #6, surely?

50 for Ding Dong anyway, looks in good touch so will doubtless piss it away soon.

 

[hazsa19]

Played.

****. Swann on strike.

 

[King Pietersen]

50 for Bell. Superb innings, he really is in excellent knick ATM, such a pretty player to watch too. Has come along way in the last 18 months.

 

[joels344]

Bell is playing some nice shots.

 

[benchmark00]

Have the common decency to edge one and get out, Swann.

yeah you're right. Can't tell Colly his technique isn't good enough

Frustrating to see the man with the best technique coming in when everyones already gone though.

 

[pasag]

Swann is playing poorly, doesn't have to play these shots, just stick around and let Bell do all the work.

You students and your drugs...

*shakes head in benign fatherly manner*

 

[vcs]

That was admirable sportsmanship from Cook on his dismissal.

Hope Kamran Akmal is watching.

Thank you.

****ing uncanny.

 

[morgieb]

Yes! Take that ****s!

 

[Burgey]

Yeah you can't be doing that tbh.

If only Haddin had taken that catch in the third over from Strauss. What a mess this would be. Still, not complaining.

Suck **** Swann. Most annoying cricketer.

why the long face?

 

[Nate]

I freaking love Harris!
