1st ASHES TEST: England v Australia at Cardiff, July 8-12, 2009

[Azkatro]

Haha some dopey merkin tried to run an Ashes urn replica onto the field for who knows what reason, as the security nailed him probably 20m from the boundary.

Jesus Johnson's bowling chart is a dogs breakfast. Learn some control Notch.

I know he's rough at the best of times but he was clearly fishing for Flintoff to play a false stroke... bloke just doesn't have the patience to bat out a draw, and the tactic worked.

 

[Bazal]

Kat needs a trundle...he's erratic, sure, but his googly into those footmarks could be devastating

 

[Bazal]

Because he isnt fit enough

WTF? :lol:

 

[herbert henry1908]

Hauritz putting egg on everyone's faces ( except locky)

 

[eddiesmith]

WTF? :lol:

Its true, was mentioned in South Africa he has an injury that flares up after bowling

 

[Bazal]

Wasn't that Pup? Not Katich?

 

[eddiesmith]

Wasn't that Pup? Not Katich?

Katich as well, not as much of an issue here obviously, but it is said to be a real problem with him having to open the batting, apparently hit him bad on the last day of the 3rd test after bowling a few overs the day before

 

[Timbo]

Notch could cost us the game here. Get your frigging radar right.

 

[Timbo]

Hilfenhaus is carrying the attack. My kingdom for Stuart Clark!

 

[Bazal]

Notch could cost us the game here. Get your frigging radar right.

I reckon...he's spraying it left, right, and centre. Siddle has been utterly ineffective too. At 5 for 70 odd we should have won, now England have almost saved it ffs

 

[Timbo]

Get Lee and Clark in for Lords. Hilfy and Haurirz have been our only bowlers.

 

[Timbo]

f**k yeah! Hilfy gets Swann, this bad boy isn't over!!!

 

[Bazal]

HILFY!!!! Gets Swann and the breakthrough we were desperate for

 

[Timbo]

Anderson can hold up an end. We need to get through him.

 

[Timbo]

This is absolutely killing me...

 

[Bazal]

What's Pontings obsession with Johnson? He takes off Hilfy after he gets a wicket but leaves Johnson who, to be honest, is deadset doing nothing at the moment :crazy:

 

[Timbo]

WHY is Johnson still bowling? Hilfy was fantastic and Johnson has bowled us out of the game. You are a joke of a captain Ponting.

 

[Bazal]

Johnson smacked to the point fence by Anderson ffs....get him off
