Do we really need to listen to Tony Greig all the time.

Swan is over-rated

Another commentator I hate.

Can't hide his excitement about England's comeback and the Barmy Army singing god save the queen.

On that note, is this the most boring barmy army to hit our shores?

He is the same with South Africa and Sri Lanka which makes it worse. :crazy:

Agreed more like the boring ARMY. Clarke nearly takes a screamer.

lol Clarke

 

[TheParraboy]

Dropped catch by Clarke as he hit the ground, off Siddles bowling

Poms 1/44

We are right in this with a wicket or two

 

[The 18th Man]

Yeh I couldn't believe (i think it was) Ian Chappel saying that Siddle's was more of a chance than Johnson's catch.

It was a chance, but not a big one.

Ian Chappel should get his hand off Mitchell Johnson's c**k.

I missed that. Whoever said that, I wouldn't be surprised if it was in fact Healy, should lay off the beers at lunch.

Runs are flowing we need have KP and Bell out before they close of play I reckon.

LOL

thanks christ for that, must have missed the first bit, hence asking the question

 

[Ice Ice Brady]

I do feel for Hilfenhaus, his bowling has been pretty good in my opinion. But as been stated, he's not a strike bowler.

You can tell Johnson doesn't want to be out there right now. I can't believe his bowling has slowed to the circa 135km/h range. That's terrible.

Well if he was talking about Johnson he had a massive liquid lunch :lol:

Well this game is headed for either a draw or an England win. When this morning it looked like either a Australia win or unlikely draw.

It comes down to ineffective bowling and bad captaining.

England are a better team than this team thrown out there. We were just lucky Siddle decided to have a career day on the first day and Hussey/Haddin's awesome partnership.

Today we are witness to pedestrian bowling. Siddle is back to sucking. Johnson is back to suck... oh he has been sucking for quite a while now. Hilfenhaus may be a good containing third bowler.

We need some drastic changes or otherwise the Poms WILL win this series.

Bollinger needs to come in. FACT!
He is our best bowler. FACT!

Johnson you are out. Go home. Find form. Until then SEE YA!

Watson needs to bowl more. FACT!
This means a drop in the order. He is NOT an opener. FACT!

Hughes comes in for North and opens the batting.

It is troubling when North looks more threatening Doherty. Doherty has no variety whatsoever. I can now see why he averages about 48 in first class. I would give O'Keefe a go. O'Keefe also bolsters our line up.

Depending on form I would put Ryan Harris in over Hilfenhaus. *He currently has 1/12 in Victoria's first innings*

Siddle gets one/two more games based off his first day efforts.

Team for test 2:

Katich
Hughes
Ponting
Clarke
Hussey
Watson
Haddin
O'Keefe
Harris
Siddle
Bollinger

12th Man: S Smith

 

[yappy]

Well at least Chappelli did just acknowledge (in a round about way) that if batsmen refuse to chase Johnson's wide trash and edge to 2nd slip he has nothing.

I have been saying that for years, about time someone left his wide sh*te!!
