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

[hineyrulz]

Hauri on, here come the runs.......

 

[eddiesmith]

Hauritz will get Pietersen out, they probably should have brought him on earlier

 

[hineyrulz]

Hauri is turning it on day one just after lunch, we won't want to be chasing to many in the last innings.

 

[aussies1st]

Geez we need an attacking spinner who won't be smashed all over the park. Hauritz is solid but on this pitch we need someone that can use the pitch better.

 

[hineyrulz]

Krazy might have been handy.

Geez we need an attacking spinner who won't be smashed all over the park. Hauritz is solid but on this pitch we need someone that can use the pitch better.

Hauritz's first ball and he has men out deep and KP and Collingwood were disinterested. Poor captaincy.

 

[aussies1st]

No shortleg either.

 

[Spike]

I'd be giving North the ball and see if he can do any better

 

[Timbo]

Hauritz doesn't look as bad as people thought he would.

I think the foil for him should be Katich, not Clarke. Have an attacking wrist spinner at the other end and maybe we'll buy KP's wicket.

 

[aussies1st]

Hes doing what I expected with the odd one turning. But we really need a more attacking spinner.

 

[eddiesmith]

91 balls from the spin twins before England managed a boundary, KP never lasted that long against Warne without trying to put him into the stands

 

[Spike]

3/194 at tea. England look like they're cruising

 

[aussies1st]

That was one boring session

 

[Timbo]

Just... He had Clarke and Hauritz bowling very very negative lines. Put Katich on, he needs an attacking bowler.

 

[aussies1st]

Hilfy duded there, should have had KP.

 

[Timbo]

Doctrove you clown. Hilfy has Petersen PLUMB LBW and it's given not out.

 

[Spike]

lol it couldn't have been anymore out. What a joke

 

[Spike]

Finally Collingwood is out. Good catch by Haddin

 

[aussies1st]

Hilfy bowling very well. Good stuff.

 

[Spike]

Pietersen out to Haurie. Surely a career lowlight
