ahamaad Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 There was a cricket phone in on talksport after the Old Trafford game when we drew and this snotty aussie woman rang up and said she was releived becasue she hates losing to England and how shite England are blah blah blah......... I hope she is watching now, because you are LOSING TO ENGLAND! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablopicasso Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 218 all out... here comes the follow on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NibblyPig Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Ok... so, now Australia are 220 odd for 4... (or for any australians reading this, 4 for 220 odd) If you were Michael Vaughan, would you have enforced the follow on? I definitely would have... Even if the remaining Aussie batsmen do a "VVS/Dravid", it was still the right decision... can't go back into bat if it's going to rain on the fifth day The fact that Australia haven't been forced to follow on since 1988 is astounding to me!... Let's hope England take 6 quick wickets on the morrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mockingbird_franklin Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Can't argue with the decision to make them follow on. It is always more likely to be a little more difficult to get a side out second time (exceept it seems when it's England following on). We were a missed stumping from having the top 5 out at stumps last night, just a bit worried how much we will miss Simon Jones if he's unable to bowl today. could proove a tense finish if australia get a lead around 200.

DreadPirateRoberts Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Hoggard has just taken Clarke's wicket. Need to get Gilchrist out now and we're nearly there... Aussies 270-5 at lunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Lets get them out for 350-400 - then we can comfortably chase 100-150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted August 28, 2005 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2005 Lets get them out for 350-400 - then we can comfortably chase 100-150. Dunno, ED. You've done your best to hash up the last 2 tests from easy winning positions. What makes you think 100 will be easy for you? :winkold: Seriously - only your notoriously bad weather will save Australia in this test. What I would'nt give for an Aussie batsman in form! Not one of them is any good at the mo. Hayden - who are ya? Clarke - where are you? And don't start going on about England's "world class" bowlers. Yes, they have been bowling well, but if they were world class you wouldn't struggle to get Lee, Warne and McGrath out in a test match as you have in the last 2.5 tests.

The Forecast is GOOD Never said it wasn't...... ... though a GOOD forecast must be cause enough for celebration for you lot. It's a bit like a blue moon, innit? :winkold: I repeat, ONLY your notoriously bad weather will save Australia in this test. Shame that wont happen.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I dunno, I might start to get nervous if we don't get a couple quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted August 28, 2005 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2005 I dunno, I might start to get nervous if we don't get a couple quick. I honestly don't think you have much to worry about. We are witnessing the end of an era in cricket.... ... and possibly the beginning of another one - yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Hoggard's just got Gilchrist! That should calm you down DDID It was good timing wasn't it? I feel a little better, but also know how dangerous Warne can be. A lead over 150 and the Aussies have a chance. Maybe not to win, but if it rains tommorow.....
