The Ashes: Second Test, Adelaide - The 100% OFFICIAL thread [Merged]

[Billy the Fish]

shit! ashley giles drops ponting!

Thing like that are the difference between winning and drawing this match

 

[bathseagull]

What a f***ing idiot Giles is. That was the chance to get out the only man who is stopping us win this game. Where are you Monty?

i dunno. the way hoggard's bowling i reckon we'll get another chance before lunch.

ponting doesn't look happy, either

 

[South Yarra Seagull]

Ponting never looks happy, though.

 

[bathseagull]

Ponting never looks happy, though.

True.

I say he'll go b4 lunch...

What a f***ing idiot Giles is. That was the chance to get out the only man who is stopping us win this game. Where are you Monty?

that will be like when Warne DROPPED Pieterson at the OVAL when he was only on about 20 and then he went on to get 158 and win England the ashes.

BRING BACK MONTY MONTY MONTY

 

[bathseagull]

that was the chance....

 

[Billy the Fish]

We need a wicket to shake things up a bit.
COME ON ENGLAND, show these evil spawn of our ancestors why we banished them from our gene pool

 

[cheeseroll]

That's a crucial drop by Giles, i hardly think Monty would have done any bertter though..

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Possible NSC on the telly, Stumpy Tim is one of the blokes dressed as batman and robin

What a brilliant 2 days at the cricket. Missed the first session & at one point I saw 400 England runs & only one wicket down. Dressed up, interviewed on TV & in the national papers. Brilliant

 

[Billy the Fish]

Hoggard strikes with the new ball, in the words of Roy Keane: "take that you c**t"

 

[Billy the Fish]

Hoggard strikes again, Hussey misjudges and leaves it - bye bye off stump, bye bye Hussey

 

[Billy the Fish]

 

[dougdeep]

So why did we take Harmison?

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Draw written all over it....
