Bangers vs Aussies - 1st Test

[El Diablo]

Why are they having lunch???????? can't they play for an extra half hour if a result is probable?

that applies to the last session unless its day 5

 

[Twizzle]

Australia seem to have had an amazing run of close finishes since (including) the Ashes. 2 amazing ODIs against NZ, the freak ODI v South Africa, and from memory 4 of the closest test matches in recent memory, if not all time.

and two ties, Windies in the 60s and Pakis in the 90s

I think we are the only ones to do that

fair enough. Common sense should provail in future, so we a re not having a 40min break when there is only really 10-15 mins of cricket left

 

[aussies1st]

It could take longer, it's not like Aus are in any hurry. They only have 3 wickets .

good guys win

Sanity prevails in the end! Now can we p..s off Clarke and Martyn and put some decent batsmen in there for the next test! This was a bit closer than I wanted!

 

[Master Vippo]

a bit late isnt it...

Yeah obviously, just good to see them fighting to the death. They didn't give in, that would have to be one on Bangladesh's best tests, although i will admit im not a big follower of them...

 

[lockyno1]

If Jaques doe not play in the next test it is a joke! Warne is most likely out, Dan Cullen will make his debut.

 

[Macca]

Jaques (shire boy)
Hayden
Ponting
Martyn
Hussey
Clarke
Gilchrist
Lee
Gillespie
Clark (shire boy)
MacGill

I reckon

 

[El Diablo]

i thought Jaques was from Woollongong?

 

[Macca]

McGrath is a shire boy too! ;-)

 

[lockyno1]

They will play 2 spinners. Better lineup, one of Martyn or Clarke has to go. To me Clarke is just a weak link. His dismissal in the second innings proved my point! It is TEST CRICKET! He is not up to it, we have given him a second chance and he didn't make the most of it. Time to go to the 5 bowlers but with cullen in for warne. Jaques opening like you said.
