Fmd 128

 

[Xfactor1979]

Well at least its better than 127...

 

[manly40gimps0]

true

 

[BunniesMan]

Openers weren't looking to rush off so I reckon there's a good chance they're making us bat again. Probably think they'll finish us by stumps.

Commentators said twice England would bat.

 

[BunniesMan]

unbreak

Top 5: 88
Bottom 6: 33

Called it.

 

[BunniesMan]

Cook is a weak captain.

If we can get them for less than 200 we have a chance.

 

[Matt23]

Cant when get rid of DiVenuto yet, he's even worse then Langer, but seriously, horrible batting, going to be a long winter and an even worse summer, need some decent batsman pronto, off and Phil Hughes can f*ck off, and Twatson can bat down the order (where he cant hog the reviews hopefully)

We were no chance before, now they'll put a world record hiding on us.

 

[BunniesMan]

I'm sorry. Silly me for thinking Cook wouldn't be a genius.

 

[Xfactor1979]

The body language is not good for australia. Compared to the first test in Nottingham when they were up and about, there doesnt look like a lot going for them this afternoon

And harris's first over spraying it down legside.

When caught in a situation like this, you bowl for stumps and start again tomorrow

Edit- watson opening the bowling as well as the batting
The last time australia did that was in the fourth test against india this year with Glenn "the big show" maxwell

Australia resoundingly lost that match, with maxwell a key architect to the loss inside three days

 

[skeepe]

I'm sorry. Silly me for thinking Cook wouldn't be a genius.

How is it geniused? It makes perfect sense.

 

[Timbo]

Oh ffs, that's just kiddy bullshit. Keeper and first slip staring at each other.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Clarke is about to shoot himself.

 

[NrlCoach]

i blame watson

 

[BunniesMan]

Haddin and Clarke. What's doing. Haddin f**ked up by not going for it AGAIN. No question there. But why wouldn't Clarke put himself in a position to at least be near it. The keeper is infront of you. If you go across you're not getting in his way.

They should both be moving towards the ball instead of neither.

[Jason Maher]

One of the worst days in the history of Australian test cricket.
