The Ashes - Round 1 - Day 1

[Titanic]

GBH does it again... Lee stands and waits... gets the finger!!!



178-9

 

[JJ McClure]

Here a bouncer,
There a yorker,
Every ball a real corker.

Aussies hopes of a decent total rest on their ferret... aka Pigeon!

Who has just hit a four...

 

[Simon Morgan]

mcgrath the batting maestro hits a boundary! he averages about 5 and i think he's scored like 100 runs in total in his one day career

 

[Titanic]

Freddie hits him in face with a vicious bouncer!!

 

[Titanic]

ALL OUT 190 !!!

GBH gets five for 43!

 

[JJ McClure]

Super stuff

Gotta take advantage of this position.

 

[Marshy]

Get in there.......I would however like to point out that as i thought the selection of Giles was a total waste of time for this match and that Thorpe should have played as the extra bat...

He'll get a 50 & 5 wickets in the 2nd innings

 

[Marshy]

If he does i will give a tenner to charity.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Ave IT!!

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Fan-f***ing-tastic!

Do you think we can get them out for under 200? And maybe win in 3 days?!

Well, that's part one done...

 

[Marshy]

Bet were 50-4 in no time ! why am i so pesimistic ! i dont want to be but when we play the aussies i always am.

 

[The Auditor]

10-0 tea

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Wise words, although I think even with Gilchrist out cheaply that 250 would still be a good effort from England. If Gilchrist gets going (and I'm afraid I expect to do so) then Australia will get 325+.

 

[The Auditor]

How many do we need to avoid the follow on !!

 

[Stumpy Tim]

We need to be docked 60 runs for crimes relating to hair. With Petersein in the team we need another 300

 

[London Calling]

1 run needed to avoid a follow on.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Fecking Banger, out for 4, 10-1.

Come on Vaughan do what you did to them in 2002/03....
