I know, it's a disgrace. You just know that grimbo bombarded youtube with complaints untill they took it down.

There is always:

I don't think anyone needed convincing on Siddle after his form against South Australia. The guy has a heart bigger than Phar Lap's.

As for Hauritz. I hope the selectors aren't stupid enough to be fooled by those 3 wickets he got.

Pietersen self destructed and played the stupidest shot of his career (and he's played some bloody stupid shots in his time).

Anderson was closing his eyes and swinging for the hills.

Panesar is Panesar.

Please... no more Hauritz.

Mate i know everyone knows that Siddle is a star. I was giving myself a pat on the back for the offcutter call ha ha. He has the best offcutter in world cricket. Love him he attacks the batsmen and the stumps at all costs.
 
Some nice looking scores on the card :)

Two centuries
Two half-centuries
....
And Hussey the only Aussie that completely missed out with a shocking score of 3 :p

Play stopped and started a couple of times today (day 3), but finally the umpires have noticed it's raining too much and by the looks of it, it's stumps... :p

Leaves the Aussies in a solid position heading into day 4 being 479/5. How long will they bat before declaring? Or will they go all out?

I'd personally be aiming for a lead of something between 200 - 250 halfway through the 2nd session on day 4, then declare.

Then of course, bowl the English out for an abyssmal score of 100 tops, leaving us winning by an innings + 150 runs :o

Siddle to take 4 wickets in England's second innings too :D

GO AUSTRALIA! :D
 
Hehe, what a prediction :p ....declared halways through the 2nd session being 239 in front. Haddin, North, Katich and Punter all made centuries. What a game. Now all I need is Siddle's 4 wickets and my prediction is prefect :D

p.s. I was kidding about the England being bowled out for 100 :p
 
Just when it felt like th poms were going to own us they implode. If we can knock them over below 420 on that road with that outfield it is a 310 score.
 
Haddin is a time bomb waiting to happen behind the stumps.

If Johnson could reproduce that ball he bowled to Prior more often (and cut out that short wide stuff from the first spell) he'd be one of the greats.
 
That Hughes decision was bullshit.

Hauritz's was referred to the third umpire yesterday and rightly so. Why not today?:mad:

Rudi is "celebrating" his 100th test as an umpire. The only other umpire to do that I am pretty sure is Bucknor. Thus we have learnt that if you should be made to retire after 80 tests...Bucknor and Rudi were/have been poor over the last few years.

God, this feels like 2005 all over again, at least I am not living in London this time.

I think I picked a DAMN good time to leave the UK. I think we at best will be able to win 1 game and hope for draws in the rest.
 
We only have to win one Test and draw two to retain the Ashes....it's not Mission Impossible.

If Hughes and Johnson can find their best form it will help a lot - this is where the old format of plenty of County matches between Tests was good practice for the tourists but it's not so and the guys have to knuckle down.

If Ponting can win a couple of tosses it will be handy.
 
Win the toss and bat at the gabba... Pffffft :rolleyes: Who does that?


:D :thumbsu:
 
Was just walking past the boss's office, he'd left the telly on when he went up to a meeting. Heard some cheering so I poked my head in, what do you know, Siddle had just bowled a hattrick!
