[NF9]

What a f***ing joke the english cricket team is , they have just got 25 runs from 5 overs and the Umps have offered them bad lights even thou its not dark AT ALL and they have accepted it...
HAVE THEY LEARNT NOTHING!

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

put the floodlights on ya twats!

 

[NF9]

put the floodlights on ya twats!

Its not even f***ing dark...What as the point in this they are now coming back on and all the momentum has gone...

Just bloody farcicle....

 

[NF9]

Meanwhile swann has driven the new ball 5 times for 4

 

[keaton]

Great innings from Swann, a spinner who can bat and an "elegant" number 3, it's like 2005 all over again.

Apart from the fact were going to lose the ashes, sorry but Australlia are far, far superior to england like it or not..

 

[NF9]

Nice one
Anderson Is gone straight after lunch, then onions comes in for his debut with the bat and get out first ball NICE ONE!

377 All out

 

[Pavilionaire]

I can almost hear Delia Smith now:

"First, slice your Onions with a swift chopping motion, then let simmer for about 10 minutes"...

 

[keaton]

Swann is handed second over of new ball!

 

[NF9]

How bizzare is this.... Swann With the new ball

 

[Gritt23]

This either needs to bring a wicket or two, otherwise Strauss and Flower have some explaining to do.

 

[Gritt23]

Not least of all, explaining it to Jimmy Anderson, who has just a touch more experience with teh new ball than Swann. If there's a criticism of Jimmy it's that he can lack effectiveness after the shine has gone off the ball ..... so what the f are we doing?

 

[Pavilionaire]

WTF is going on?!?! Has someone drugged England's lunchtime cuppa?

Why oh why wouldn't you let Anderson bowl first up?

32-0 after 28 deliveries.
