Bad weather has delayed start.
Probably first session in doubt.

 

[Placid Pete]

They are ready to play.
Australia won the toss and will BOWL.

Eng 0/4 off 2.4 overs...

 

[thestretch60]

Bad light stops play Eng 0/11 off 3.2 overs

 

[Darky]

Bad light at 1 pm local time? HA HA HA HA

Worse than bloody Hobart!

 

[Placid Pete]

England 5 for 126
McGrath gets Stewart.
A great day sun is shining.
C7 optus is televising.

 

[Placid Pete]

England all out 187
McGrath 5 wickets

 

[joshhem]

Will the tv coverage ever start?

Ad after ad...oh and why not throw in a news break while where there....might put in a few more ads as well

 

[Captain Sensible]

What time does the cricket start where you are Joshem?
11.30 here were still watching the last quarter of the footy.
Have missed the end of the england innings and now we are 2/27 and we still half an hour away, Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Wish I had c7 like yoy PlacidPete

Aussies in front, 3-189.

Well done, Afghanistan. A hundred at Lords, gotta be happy with that. Bit scratchy heading to the ton, but played some great shots beforehand. Steve, 37 no.

Once again, half chances are costing the poms dearly, both Waughs' have been dropped, Steve a couple, Mark at least one, very hard one though. Go for the throat, you Aussies.

 

[thestretch60]

Well done Mark Waugh, no 99 this time.


Go Aussies

Well done Hippie, not many people would remember Junior's old nickname.

As for the Poms, when oh when will they learn to play back or forward? This shuffling sideways in the crease is a recipe for LBW disasters.

 

[thestretch60]

2-0 . Can't see the poms winning one, unless rain stuffs things up we will beat them 5-o

What a joke not showing the 1st session on a weekend! That's twice we've missed England collapses in the 2nd innings now! Poms are hopeless, bring on South Africa, a real team!

Afghanistan?? Please explain....

Afghanistan= The forgotten war (Waugh)

Back in the mid 80's when Steve was in the test side and Mark was not he picked up this nick name in reference to the selectors having forgotten about him
