5th Test: Sydney : 23:30 Start.

[The Wizard]

I have no idea why I am watching.

Same. Pitch looks bowler friendly though, very green and humid weather conditions should help the seamers. Another 5 wickets for Mitch then.

oh here we go Although good for the McGrath Foundation.

Broad to Warner... 4 0 4 4 1

Ho hum.

 

[vegster]

Boycott reckons the pitch is a good 'un, worryingly.

 

[The Wizard]

Pitch looks very good for bowlers to me, negative field positions again from England, moving the man close to the bat into a position to save runs, bet one loops up in that exact position soon enough.

 

[Surrey Phil]

must....stay.....positive

Do the rules allow us to concede to save further humiliation? I say that as with all the match fixing going on in cricket am I the only one suspicious of the teams staggering form reversal since the summer Ashes tests?

 

[Titanic]

Crikey!

 

[The Wizard]

Cya Warner, nice to see his stumps all over the place

 

[brakespear]

ha! Warner gone!

 

[Pavilionaire]

Nice bowling from Broad there 22-1.

No, same has occurred to me and no doubt a fair number of others.

Boycott is being a cock at the moment IMO. He seems determined to slag off England... WICKET!

How Boycott can slag off the toss call after 4 overs is amazing to me. We may end up regretting it but if Cook had chosen to bat on this green wicket and we made 150-200 he would have been saying we were mad not to put the Aussies into bat!

 

[vegster]

Excellent !

 

[The Wizard]

What a staggering stat that is, only 5.4% of Englands balls bowled in the entire series have been going on to hit the stumps, almost unbelievable really!

 

[sjamesb3466]

Amazing stat, we haven't had a single LBW in the series so far and only 5% of our bowled balls in the series would have hit the stumps! Maybe a reason why we have taken the top order a few times against the Aussie aggressive players who are more likely to edge it but struggled to destroy the tail who are more likely to be bowled or LBW?

 

[Footsoldier]

Yesssssssssss

This is like watching the match day thread, keep it coming

amazeballs. can't wait to see what the Lampost bowls.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Well bowled Broady. Have some of that Warner you c***!

 

[vegster]

Rankin on fire ! throwing all those bricks at the rozzers back home has paid off. He has a pretty good action.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Not bowling full enough
