2nd Ashes Test: Australia v England at Adelaide Dec 3-7 2010

and the LBW rule is whacky

if the umpire had given him not out then the decision would have stood as it needs 50% to be hitting to be given out

the same rule doesn't apply when he's given out though. the ball has to be missing the stumps entirely to be given not out

Great aussie team there... We have two Openers that are probably the worst pairing in world cricket our captain doesnt have a clue.. A vice captain who is in another form slump and offers nothing and finally a so called all rounder who has no resolve Bloody North......................

From Twitter-
Doug Bollinger- People are overly harsh on Marcus North. In all seriousness, 26 is a pretty good score for a specialist bowler. #ashes

Haha what a crack up he is.

Whingeing, whingeing Aussies bitching and moaning about the Ryan Harris dismissal. F'ing pathetic. Convincing themselves that they can see a mark on a bat. Carrying on about it like pork chops for ever and a day.

Get real: you're the 5th best team in the world, and sinking lower. Get used to losing. It'll be worse than the 80's. No Bob Simpson and Alan Border to pull you up by the bootstraps. Neutral umpires. Choke on your pride and arrogance. Geez it's fun watching you squirm and it's going to be fun for a while yet!!!! Lovin it!!!!

It takes a pack of dogs to get an Aussie male aroused. Bestiality gets the stamp of approval in the Australian capital.

Lol @ New Zealand losing a series to Bangladesh.

Aussies lost to the Banga's first. Crickets your national game and all. Shame. 20 million plus Aussies and your cricket team's sh*t-house, your rugby team's sh*t-house, your league team are chokers. Kiwi's world champs, 4 nations champs, & we've got the world's best player.

Hard luck on dipping out on the soccer world cup to Qatar.

You Aussies might as well give up on sport. A whole continent equates to a big fat zero. What a nation of chumps.

Jimmy Andersons running in at half rat power and North just sort of folds over and goes "errrrr" and edges the ball. At least we gave the Indians a run on their own soil. You guys didn't even callenge them. The poms have got no pace at all. Check out the speed gun on Anderson and Broad. 125 to 132 kph. What a joke. India made mince-meat of you chumps. It's a laugh you're commentators talking up this crap. Ponting, Clarke and North can't even buy a run.

 

[El Diablo]

lol

Yawnion is your national sport and you haven't won a WC since 87

Aussie have won the last 3 cricket WC's

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Even for a Kiwi this guy is dumb. I love how he goes on about people upset with the Harris decision when his sig picture and avatar goes to show he is still cut up about a decision from what, a year ago?

 

[hineyrulz]

Terrible day for Australia, as bad as a first day you could have at Adelaide. The selectors should drop another bowler after that sh*thouse performance :crazy:

 

[ElectricEelMan]

The last three days of this series have revealed one important thing.

This is a horribly coached team who lack simple fundamental skills
Like catching and running between wickets

Bring Back Bob Simpson!!

 

[Batman Returns]

My sig just points out a really controversial incident involving Brad Haddin. Look, it was Ponting who spat the dummy when Haddin got called on his crap. And the whole world remembers cry baby Ponting carrying on like a pint sized dick shouting abuse at a bemused coach just cos he got legitimately run out by a sub fielder. What a little sook. Just face it: you can't handle it. You're losing at everything and that's when Aussie's turn septic. Under-arm bowling is not on. How long before Ponting has another melt-down?

Selectors,Coach and Captain should be all under the gun. Losing the Ashes at home is unacceptable, maybe this is the loss we finally have had to bring change to Australian cricket.

Lol, a pom talking about being bad at your national sport and being rorted out of a world cup all in the same post. The ironing is delicious.

EDIT: Just realised you're a kiwi. Even better. Enjoy choking in the world cup AGAIN next year.

So what was going on with Haddin going off at Strauss?? Pathetic batting by the Aussies, North must be close to gone now. Harris was not out. Lets hope the Aussies bowl a good length tomorrow otherwise it could get ugly.

Yes I was wondering the same thing with Strauss and Haddin at the end there.

the lbw law has always given you trouble eh?

100% correct decision on Harris btw... nothing in the evidence suggesting it should be overturned, despite Warne's wishful interpretation

hhhhhmmmmmmmm it seems the whole commentary team was wrong, I thought they all were pretty certain there was a nick there.
