cricket, test match

[Christos]

Well actually more then just a Draw.

Exciting Draw.

Lets see what happens in the next match.

[Pheonix]

Ponting had the chance for a win and blew it

[jow104]

Very unsatisfactory, looks like the game is mainly geared towards attendance income instead of the game.
England couldn't bat or bowl yet the game lasted 5 days, smelly.

Did the MCC have the batting order upside down?
It does show you can't be complacent in cricket.
Cheers,

Another match started after quite a lot of wasted time.

Watching it and thinking what are the Australia's doing. We are supposed to be the best in the world and we are letting balls go?

[Sir Stinkalot]

I dont know if it is my tv or not but when watching the test on SBS the score is halfway off the bottom of the screen and seems to bob up and down ..... same with last test match .....

Anybody else having the same problem?

[Christos]

Yeah I get the same thing. I think it is something to do with the signal being analogue or digital. I have an analogue TV, no digital receiver.

So far what a one sided session. If we are not able to come out and bowl as well as the English then we will loose the match in a short time.

[Sir Stinkalot]

I too have an analogue TV, no digital receiver, so perhaps that is the problem ..... damn frustrating however. I need to log onto the Age Newspaper website to see the scores.

Not off to a good start tonight .... I turned on and the first two balls were wickets .... now the English have had two wickets off two balls in a row for the match so far.

Quite happy however to see Australia finding the going a little tough .... would be good if we could reach common ground and have a well balanced match to keep it interesting.

Another day and it is time for the Aussies to come out with determination and fight to win one match.

I am expecting them to win, so lets get together and wish them well.

[Gingermick]

particularly now that the games administrators have asked the english crowds to stop being so mean to poor wicky ponting.

[jow104]

Dry weather forecast for day 1.

And the leaders of the BA have been locked up to give the Aussies a sporting chance.

I would be really quiet for a while, the Poms are in trouble....deep. Straus should have been out first ball, thankfully out for a solid 3 runs. Poms at 33-2 after 12 overs.

Seriously though, how bad is Bopara? He has to be one of the poorest number 3 batsmen ever to wander out to the crease. As an Aussie I love him in the English team.


See you,

You know, it is now becomming verrrrry quiet in that crowd. Don't panic, they should make it to lunch.

Love the cricket.

Anthony

[Luddite]

They might make lunch.

[Luddite]

Perhaps they could have a couple of cups of courage. C'mon chaps, behind the ball.
