Nope. They were originally going to be unofficial, but the latest ICC meeting changed that, since a new application for test status was put in based on the fact that the Tsunami match was official.Craig said:Aren't they unofficial?
LOL! Atherton comes out of retirement to be McGrath's 500th.chris.hinton said:Mike Atherton
Unfortunately not.Craig said:Aren't they unofficial?
I assure you, Marcus wouldnt mind a few runs either.Link said:maybe, mcgrath will not take a wicket the whole series. ah right it will probally be trescothick, strauss seems very focused on scoring big this summer
Harmison gets his wickets like that, not gets out himself like that.BoyBrumby said:It'll be Harmy holing out to third man after his maiden test 100! In the 4th innings of the 5th test!
It's more likely the whole lot of them will have noticed that he occasionally gets out like that (not just in the last SA Tests - it's happened loads of times, and McGrath would quite possibly have noticed it in the nets at Middx).BoyBrumby said:Nah, it'll be Strauss chasing a wide-ish one it the first over. McGrath will have noted that Ntini had a bit of luck bowling at him in the last coupla tests there.
As long as Trescothick and Strauss open in all of them, Trescothick will take strike every time.telsor said:Which opener is going to take strike in the first test?
People who have taken catches off AJ Strauss include... RD Jacobs (3), MV Boucher (1), BB McCullum (1).Mr Casson said:Strauss edges to the slips.
I think if he were going to he'd have done so by now.I couldn't resist picking Marcus Trescothick - he's far too impatient most of the time and I think McGrath will sort out his footwork and shot selection.
Massively optimistic to expect anyone to score 57 off 54 balls against Australia in a Test-match.Jamee999 said:K Pietersen c. Ponting b.McGrath 57(54)
He drives straight to mid-on.
Well the last timeless Test was 50 years ago... can't remember whether they were all 5-dayers after they were consigned to history...Jamee999 said:The 6 dayer?
but if anyone in englands team was to achieve that feat then it would probably be pietersen, maybe flintoff, although the more likely scenario would be for them both to fail miserbly attempting it. neither am i sure why they would want to be scoring that quicklyRichard said:Massively optimistic to expect anyone to score 57 off 54 balls against Australia in a Test-match.
