If you look at "The Guardian" today, you'll probably the biggest understatement of the test.
" Bell says - England will have to bat extraordinarily well to stay in this test":eek: :confused: :D
There is a major caveat with all of this. The last Ashes started off in a similar vein, with the Poms getting written off in every quarter. And I think this Pommy team will have the maturity to forget the previous game and the next game is much more likely to be even - and even more reliant on the coin toss.
Langer 100 NO, Ponting 60 NO declared at 1/202
So the run chase begins. Only 648 to get, so put the heads down boys. :D
I think it will be an early finish. Maybe Tea. :rolleyes:
Well you wouldn't bet on them getting through to stumps would you? :cool:Quote:

Alright, it's a nearest to the pin competition.
Place your predictions here: What time are they all out?
I say Tonight, after a 30 minute extension of play. 15 Minutes later. All Gorn. :D
Midge,
Do you have a cousin in Vic called gnashing gnat? Just a thought.
I'll say 6.00 pm (although with Warne bowling there might not be overtime tonight)Quote:

It's damned hot here today. 34.5 C in my shed.
My money is on just about lunch tomorrow, weather permitting (which it should, as Brissy storms tend to come in in the late arvo)
3 for two hundred, 4 specialist bowlers, 35 degrees, thunder outside ....
:eek: :eek: :eek:
draw

If the poms can get 350 this innings, then it's game on for the rest of the series!

:D :D :D
They all think it will go like last time, loose the first and take out the Ashes.
Come on give me a break, the boys are just playing with them. 5 nil or maybe a rained out draw (well we need the rain).
They just allowed them to prolong their suffering into a 5th day to grind there noses in it.
I couldn't help feeling at the time that 500 was good time to declare the first innings.
Would have thought you enforce the follow on but perhaps Ponting felt the pitch would really turn to rubbish on the last day and he didn't want to bat on that. Fair enough
Anyway it looks like the Poms are playing themselves in. I think Australia will win at 1.30 tomorrow but the Poms will be feeling like they can play a bit.
Mind you their main problem this match was their bowlers weren't up to it

It seems the spectacle of a patron being arrested in Brisbane for trying to incite the crowd to chant Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi oi oi... was too much even for Cricket Australia, who have just announced that Trumpets, backpacks AND the Mexican Wave will be allowed in Sydney.
wow.

Oh dear so sad:D :D :D
7 gone:D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Never thought I'd say this, but it's great to hear the Barmy Army in full song in the background on the radio too! Brought about by the seats being released yesterday I guess, so not so much control over who gets them.
Like Kerry O'Keefe said, wouldn't they have been great to cheer everyone up on the Titanic!
cheers,
P
They must be singing funeral songs, or just so pussed they cant see the scoreboard:D :D :D :D
Hope they keep them split up in the rest of the tests, too much like soccer having that going on all the time.:p :p :p
Is a lament!
Fricken ABC Country hour. Fricken QLD and its no daylight savings policy.
Seems to be all over. Well done men!
Its alright Silent its all over now :D :D
Pete
Don't you blokes get ABC radio on the internet down there?
Or watch the ball by ball on BaggyGreen?
Anyway, 10.1 overs should mean a refund on today's ticket prices?
cheers,
P (I slept an hour longer than you, so I'm not as grumpy!:p )
SilentC is on ISDN.
Broadband next week :D. Or the week after :) I hope :(
But even if I was streaming it over the Internet, it would still be the stoopid ABC country hour at 12:00 wouldn't it? Or is that priviledge reserved for us rural types?
Good question, how do they tell where you are in the world? :confused:Quote:
