[Cricket] Fourth Ashes Test - England v Australia - Trent Bridge

[alfredmizen]

I take joy in the contest... the cut and thrust... the individual moments of triumph and disaster. Repeated capitulation is disappointing.

i'd rather we just won.

 

[alfredmizen]

That's not true. After we collapsed pathetically in 2006/7, plenty of Aussies were a little melancholy that a side that had fronted up so well in 2005 against undoubtedly the best side in World cricket (and one of the greatest ever seen) could be so meek in giving up the Ashes 18 months later.

None of the ones i know were.

 

[Titanic]

Cook drops a clanger

A life for Warner is a dangerous thing!

32-0

 

[Bladders]

[pasty]

Oopsy dropsy Cook

 

[nicko31]

If Australia get 450 they have a chance

 

[Titanic]

Finn into the attack... and smashes one into Warner's rib cage... ouch!

Next three balls goes for FOUR, FOUR, SIX.

Game on.

47-0

 

[Titanic]

Australia 51-0 (11 overs), Rogers 19* Warner 25*

Trailing by 280.

 

[Titanic]

Australia have passed their pathetic first innings total... 61-0 (13 overs)

No it wouldn't, you'd never get that sort of attitude from the aussies were we in that position, its a losing mentality to think like that.

Like you, I would rather it be one sided when we're winning, I don't take the enjoyment in the contest that Titanic does. But even if his is a losing mentality, it doesn't matter, he's just a supporter. Obviously you wouldn't want that mentality anywhere near the team.

 

[The Wizard]

This is bad

 

[Titanic]

Ben Stokes has just delivered the 1,000,000th (legal) ball in the history of Test cricket.. and it went for FOUR through mid-on

75-0, trailing by 256

 

[Titanic]

Warner gets another life

Dropped by Ian Bell at 2nd slip on 42.

This will be costly.

Drinks are taken at 77-0 (16 overs), trailing by 254.

Day 3 tickets looking like good value here

[pasty]

Need to break these 2 up pretty soon

 

[Titanic]

Australia 101-0 (22.1 overs)

Warner 47-2* Rogers 43*

Effectively -230 for no wicket.

 

[Titanic]

A wicket!!!!!!

That was a BRUTE of a ball from Wood to Rogers... reared up off a length and really well caught by Root at 3rd slip.

Is it a no ball ??

 

[Titanic]

Oh bugger.

Everything is going against England at the moment.

That is a NO BALL.

106-0 (2 drops and a catch off a no ball)

 

[pasty]

Oh FFS
