MikeO Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 We're getting hammered atm . Headingly is traditionally low scoring in tests isn't it? But 72-5 is still very poor.....least our tail is a bit more dangerous now (touches wood). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiemaher85 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 This is very depressing. I think the pressure has got to the players big time. I'm praying for torrential rain now. The only way we will get anything from this test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Watching the news this morning I had to (try to) explain the rules of cricket to my wife...she couldn't understand why we hadn't already won when we were 230 ahead. That was before my first coffee as well . Another 150 this morning to make it safe and we're in!! See the Aussie press are blaming the pitch .

Romey 1878 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I'm just worried the Aussies are going to rip us apart very quickly and then it'll be twitchy arse time when they come out to bat again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I'm just worried the Aussies are going to rip us apart very quickly and then it'll be twitchy arse time when they come out to bat again. Nice hundred partnership....captain's innings from Strauss . 334 ahead now with six wickets in hand. Forgone conclusion surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 500 lead is up with Trott on 95. Think we'll declare if/when he hits the ton . Bloody pitch is unplayable :whistle: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 The Aussies could sneak a draw though with the pitch not looking that bad. Hopefully one or two of the bowlers have a good few days and clean these bastards out though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 The Aussies could sneak a draw though with the pitch not looking that bad. With two days left ? If they're still batting Monday afternoon they'll have won it; the only way it could be a draw would be if it starts raining.....and there's none forecast.

Romey 1878 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 2 down now with both openers out. Ponting and Hussey are getting set now though, two players who could hit big scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
