2nd npower test Lords 16th-21st july
- Thread starter the viscount
- Start date
I can see them both scoring a century here and taking the game well out of England's reach.53-2 Hussey and Katich are set fair... England look resigned to toiling through a long and painful spell in the field.
Bad luck England.
Indeed Simster... England will surely be facing a torrid day and a half to save the game
Oh dear! The medium-pacers have failed... and Strauss has to resort to a bit of 'spin' from Swann
Absolutely meaningless in the context of Hussey and Katich at Lords.
Onions has outperformed Harmison all season at Durham.

Same old RUBBISH
I'd have picked him ahead of Broad too.

We have no chance of getting any more wickets today !!

It looks like being the match that keeps the Ashes in Aussie hands.
would you have taken 70 odd for two at this stage , before the match ?

makes me laugh. Two top order batsmen get themselves in and everyone is ready to top themselves again. This morning they were going to be all out for 50 when ponting went. thats f***ing cricket.
That said, I think Simster has called it right again.

I agree, very funny, notwithstanding his tendency to start every sentence with "ah look".
To be fair, nearly all the Australian ex-Test players they've had on TMS over the first two tests have been articulate and generally entertaining. Adam Gilchrist is on at the moment and comes across like a really nice bloke. It's a bit different to listening to footballers interviewed on the radio isn't it? A footballer announces he's once read a book and everyone's queuing up to brand him as an intellectual, whereas most of the cricketers have actually sounded fairly intelligent, without resorting to cliches and "you know" every other word.
The only one who's playing his usual wind-up merchant role is Warne.
A desperate last throw of the dice from Strauss before the game gets out of England's reach... Flintoff on again after tea, to flog his creaking body further into the ground.
Katich gone.. lucky catch by Broad off a long hop from Onions.
Lucky England.
Australia 103-3

Katich out, and everything is alright in the world again 
Particularly lucky as neither of those two should even be playing for England, apparently.
