4TH ASHES TEST: England v Australia at Chester-le-Street Aug 9-13, 2013

I still think Warner can make it but needs a very reliable safe defensive opening partner. Rogers might be that player for a few years

 

[typicalfan]

Hope we can build a partnership.

 

[umina panther]

I'll probably jinx him but Smith seems to have come a long way since he first played

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

If only we could get a boat load of Afghan top order batsmen, that were half-decent.

 

[typicalfan]

If Smith gets over 30 he needs to get at least 70-80.

 

[typicalfan]

McGrath would have got 8fer on this pitch.

 

[Meapro Ham]

I'll probably jinx him but Smith seems to have come a long way since he first played

Doh!

f**k I'll keep my mouth shut now. Sorry guys

 

[Horrie Is God]

Here comes Watto to save the day..

 

[typicalfan]

Relying on Watson is like relying on Pearce to win an origin match.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Such a weak Aussie batting line up.

What's Watto got for us? 60 max is my call.

 

[umina panther]

Relying on Watson is like relying on Pearce to win an origin match.

Hmmm might sometimes jag a match but never a series then

 

[Horrie Is God]

The countdown to Watto's inevitable LBW or nick to slip has begun..

How many runs can he cram into that period??..

 

[Meapro Ham]

Pity we had all these ex players like Border and Ashley Mallett come out in the press after Old Trafford saying the Aussies had turned the corner and were about to start dominating. They really should have waited til we'd won a couple of games before doing that.

 

[Horrie Is God]

Relying on Watson is like relying on Pearce to win an origin match.

OOhh..low blow..

Harsh but fair..

 

[typicalfan]

OOhh..low blow..

Harsh but fair..

Well if he hits a hundred it might be worth giving Pearce another go.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Looks dark and overcast how long till rain?

 

[butchmcdick]

Relying on Watson is like relying on Pearce to win an origin match.

As a Queenslander I always rely on much puss to help us win the match

 

[Horrie Is God]

Nice to see Gene Simmons, Ace Frehely & David Lee Roth out at the game..

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

C'mon Watto!

Give me a reason to stop loathing you.
