5th Test: Austalia vs England at SCG Jan 3-7 2011

[_snafu_]

Good start - no wickets down and we are in double figures.

 

[ozbash]

we have one good umpire and one crap umpire

yea, ol Darsole is a bit of a worry

 

[TheParraboy]

Sunshine and Hughes to bat till after lunch I reckon, looking very solid and more importantly determined. It paves the way for Khawaja to come in and kickstart his career with a possible test ton

Aust 0/16

 

[Danish]

Thanks so much parraboy.... We'll have a mini collapse shortly

Some good signs from Hughes that back foot drive was glorious.

 

[snoozer]

made drinks without too many problems.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Not a bad start.

 

[Danish]

Watson looks the more likely to get out IMO. Jumping about, not getting good bat on ball and had a few nicks and chances already.

Looks like just his usual jitters though so given we've just had drinks those may now be gone and England have hopefully missed their chance to get him out early.

 

[Fast Eddie]

England were a little unlucky not to get 1 in that first hour.

 

[The_Joey_Show]

Hughes looking very tidy today... very compact and playing straight. Good to see.

Let's just hope he can survive the dangers of partnering Sunshine... I'm still waiting for the selfish pr*ck to murder him again.

 

[Twizzle]

Hughes looking good, this is where he normally gets out.

He has defo worked on his technique.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Hughes well and truly in now, time to make a score.

 

[Twizzle]

I like the way they are both being much more patient this morning.

 

[ElectricEelMan]

Hughes looks good out there. With maturity and experience he will gain much more patience and better shot selection. And he is showing that patience today. Also noticed he has played much straighter today.

I am still nervous that he will get out undoing all his good work this morning.

Watson has looked scratchy out there, not at all comfortable. But he hasn't lost his wicket.

Good 50 run partnership.

 

[TheParraboy]

time for a run out

 

[snoozer]

I like the way they are both being much more patient this morning.

a much different attitude being shown so far.

 

[beads6]

Great start from these two. Bat for 2 days I say

 

[beads6]

I wish Punter would get out of the change rooms... I hope he is thinking I need to retire...
