Australian Cricket Thread - No.3 🏏

[King of Ruin]

Could of been 4 out. Haddin drops one.

 

[Jeremias]

Could have been 4 for if haddin held it

Should have held it, too.

Australia took a little while to get going.....well on top now.

 

[Sublime]

Here we go FLOODGATES!

Gee thanks, now i have to pee.

Got into the dive a tad early and ended up too close to his body. One of those you have to hope just sticks.

Just mis-read the ball in flight. I don't think he even realised it was a catch.

Footy vs cricket tonight.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

FOOTY

And le Tour, a tough night ahead. Lucky i am retired so can stay up all night sports watching

Yeah he was moving slightly left with the swing when it took the edge. Just thought it was going further to his right. We've paid for it that's for sure! He'd have known it was an edge surely, but wasn't sure if it was a bump ball i reckon.

He didn't. He thought it was jammed down.

How different last night could have been if they were 4-40...

 

[Jeremias]

Footy vs cricket tonight.

As much as I love cricket - The Ashes, in particular - footy wins hands down. No contest.

 

[Jatz]

Australian cricket team > Collingwood

Unfortunately, ******* channel 9 are only showing it on Gem which we don't get with foxtel. So footy will be on the tv and cricket on the laptop.

Can't you just turn your foxtel off and watch the normal tv channels? That's what HBF did last night.

What I thought he was sick.

Ohhh a manual man.

Nope, our aerial picks up no TV because of the location of the house. It's why we needed to get Foxtel originally.

I'm really annoyed about the whole thing.

But anyway, not the thread for it.

First thing to suss out when buying a property the TV reception. Poor effort there Jatz

I thought it was jammed down on as well live. Would have been an interesting decision by the umpire had Haddin gloved it.

Was thinking the same thing. If its a crap game i'll switch over pretty quickly.

 

[HBF]

I am.
Can still operate a TV remote though....just.

I hoped it was but I suspected edge. Either way, he now owes us 100.

Shuddap!

 

[HBF]

He sure does.
You could just see Root grow in confidence everytime he played a shot last night. Must take our chances when we can against him.

 

[Jeremias]

Great catch. That absolutely flew off the edge.

Been watching the football.....switched it over at half time. First ball - wicket.

You're welcome, Australia.

 

[HBF]

Looks like we needed it as well J.
Would really have liked to have kept the poms under 400.

Yep. Australia were on top early but it has been all England since then. No doubt the Aussies will be very disappointed in conceding 420+ after having the English on the ropes early.
