3rd ASHES TEST: Australia v England at Perth, Dec 16-20 2010

[madunit]

Keep in mind this wicket is not adelaide or the gabba

We get to 200 plus, then we could easily dismiss the poms for under 200 with our abundant pace atrack, all will be bowling shorts sharp and fast spells. Cant wait

EDIT - If we can get to 100 plus......:crazy:

Aust 4/36

Short bowling won't win Australia the game here. The only player who can bowl consistently good bouncers has been dropped.

Don't worry guys, at least our Black Craps are still worse than your lot....

like being compared to a one legged sprinter

 

[WarriorsFan4Life]

LOL Abundant pace attack?

If four fast bowlers has only taken 6/1200 odd recently then what makes you think that a fifth fast bowler will make any difference?

You did re-mortgage your house for that one magic bet didn't you???...didn't you???...:lol:

 

[madunit]

Who would have thought at the start of this series, we'd be relying on Hussey in every test of the Ashes, and he delivers nearly every time.

 

[hineyrulz]

Unable to watch atm is the pitch that bad or we just batting crap???

 

[madunit]

Green pitch, but it's solid and bouncy.

Batting crap. all batsmen have edged several deliveries.

Trying to bat aggressively and sufferring the consequences of not having the form to get away with it.

 

[Red Bear]

Bowlers wicket
Hughes played an average shot but great delivery
Watson got a very good ball as well
Ponting and Clarke woeful shots

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Does anyone reckon the bowlers will be spared all the blame for this one now that the top order has failed again? They couldn't get 250 batting first at Adelaide and yet somehow dodged any real criticism. Surely now something must be done.

 

[Tommy Smith]

It's certainly not a minefield.

There's definately abit in the wicket but it's more a combination of excellent bowling and nervous batting IMO.

And also how batting line-ups can no longer deal with wickets with abit in it first up because they're so used to batting on roads from ball one.

 

[hineyrulz]

With Kat not playing we have no one bar Hussey who is willing to bat
Ugly. A team full of Millionares when all we had to do was
Hang tough till lunch. Give me Border or Tugga over Ponting anyday.

 

[Hutty1986]

Unacceptable.

 

[madunit]

Hussey should have opened. Ponting and Clarke haven't had to come out so often and so early in a test series ever before. Sure that shouldn't be an issue, especially for Ponting, But i think it is proving to be a problem.

Hussey and Hughes would have been a smarter opening pair today. Watson at 6 after Smith. Haddin at 7.

 

[TheParraboy]

Hussey on fire

Another ton for Mr Cricket coming up

 

[Hutty1986]

Hussey on fire

Another ton for Mr Cricket coming up

He'll be out next over now

 

[madunit]

So far this series (Including today) Ricky Ponting has the lowest batting average of all recognisable batsmen, except possibly Marcus North who is one position below him.

Ponting is averaging 20.5 this series so far. His unbeaten half century is flattering his stats.
10, 51*, 0, 9, 12

 

[Eelementary]

England 3/723

I was being sarcastic. Our attack sucks.

 

[Eelementary]

When Australia are bowling in a few hours time, no doubt the pitch will look like a featherbed, and the ball will be going through straight as an arrow.

Sarcasm lol. We suck.

 

[Holla if ya hear me]

Pissss offfff clarke!!!!..you over rated hack..ill hang my freakin bat out in he air and see what happens..ohhh f**k,,,they caught me....what a twat

 

[madunit]

This series

Ponting 82 runs @ 20.5 (5 innings with 1 not out)
Clarke 94 runs @ 23.5 (4 innings)

Until pup's batting sorts itself out, Ponting's position won't be under pressure.

 

[Matt23]

just batting crap???

Awful batting, bear in mind who our batting coach is, another of Ponting's mates.
