Ashes 3rd test @ The WACA

[Andrew Mc]

Strange lot the Barmy Army. One of their players gets smashed in the helmet .... and they keep on singing.

It's all about them.

 

[gavaniacono]

Geebers 400 in the first dig, then done by an innings.

Don’t reckon that’s happened too often.

POHMS may have it twice very recently too.

 

[Bedi]

absolutely shitting himself.

 

[yakka man]

I bet Anderson wishes that ball was a cold beer instead.

 

[Headless]

More looking at the victim than the incident. Karma for the hypocritical deadshit, plus he's fine.

Dude got hit in the head and people are celebrating. Makes no sense.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Don’t mind Anderson copping a few brutal ones in the body, but don’t like seeing anyone get hit in the head. Not even a flog like Anderson.

 

[Demosthenes]

With his accent and surname I'd suggest South African. Went to school in Paarl I think.

Yes, well I'm Australian and have a Scottish name.

All his team-mates pronounce it David, which is consistent with the Polish.

 

[MarkCatsFan]

It would be a cats fan to be the first one to say " he deserved it" wouldn't it.

Not sure what you're getting at.

 

[a mayes ing]

Lol Anderson trying very hard to nick it. Cmon Cummins, don't be lame, go again for the helmet

 

[La Dolce Vita]

Strange lot the Barmy Army. One of their players gets smashed in the helmet .... and they keep on singing.

absolute false bravado..look at us, look at us

aren't we great supporters when we know we have definately lost

 

[Underarm]

Some poor taste posting in here after that.

Not as if Jimmy tried very hard to avoid the hit.

 

[KennyHuntersBlues]

what is the barmy army singing? it seems like an endless song

Sloop John B - let me go home
I want to go home
I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

 

[frankrizzo]

As much as i hate the Poms bouncing tailenders on a pitch like this is not needed.

Everyone is fair game i know but still it is harsh.

Bouncers are fine, hoping Jimmy gets injured or calling him weak isn't ok.

 

[jack son 5]

Lol, any Aussie batsman would’ve left the field injured or required a runner or got his WAG to fix his hair.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Why do don't bowl a yorker after knocking a batsman in the head is beyond me.

 

[CakeEater]

Yorker should just about do it.

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Not sure what you're getting at.

TBH nor do I

 

[passmark]

Nah.

It's TEST cricket.

Don't like it? Retire .

Chief if twitter can have a little urn at the end of the #ashes hashtag surely someone can make it a badge

 

[MeltFlog]

Get the **** out of the cricket forum. Its the Ashes. Batsmen have done this for over 100 years.

 

[Chism]

Anderson and the English bowlers would do the exact same thing though.

Yeah they probably would but they are no where near as brutal as our fast bowlers.

I know it is cricket etc and everyone is fair game that steps out there but is it really needed at this stage of the match and on this pitch?

Flexing muscle is well and good but blokes have been killed before that were much more adept with the bat than Anderson who is a genuine No.11 and terrible bat.

 

[Headless]

Not as if Jimmy tried very hard to avoid the hit.

I'm sure he did, and that wasn't the point I was making even if he didn't.

 

[Outshined]

Would love to see us win back the Ashes by castling Jimmy.

 

[davis_756]

glorious

???

As per Cricinfo;

"England seem to be making a habit of losing by an innings despite scoring over 400 in their first inning." Too right, Nilesh Jain. This will be their third such defeat in 12 months or so... Before that, it had only happened twice in history
