The Ashes 2010-11: Australia v England ** spoilers **

[One More Solo]

I can't stand that Saffa **** Pietersen off the pitch, but on the other hand that English gent Pietersen on the pitch is great.

So Johnston is dropped and possibly Hilfenhaus too. Hope it takes the new lads a game or two to get into the swing of things!

It's that time again, midnight is the time for kickoff. Can't wait, although it's another weekend written off with late nights....

 

[Stewy]

Little bit excited, hoping we bat first

This 3000 word essay for Tuesday could be an issue though...

 

[Weebull]

They've got the toss, and as per Ricky Ponting post-2005, they're in to bat. Bollinger and Harris in, Johson and Hilfenhaus out for them. Unchanged for us, unsurprisingly.

Couple of early wickets for Anderson with the Kookabura, flat pitch to save the rest of them, 300-6 by close of play.

So Australia have made 2 changes - Bollinger for Johnston and Harris for Hilfenhaus. They say that Harris is very good. I hope it takes them a while to settle in.

The toss is key for England today.

Edit: too slow.

 

[Weebull]

Why show us 2006, Sky? Why hurt us so?

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Get in

 

[ringo747]

Come on!

 

[_Gizka_]

Cracking start, well done Trotty!!!!!

Get in!

 

[Weebull]

Haha fantastic!

Remind me to ask Evangelion if that makes Katich's first innings batting average infinity or zero.

EDIT: PONTING!

 

[Stewy]

This pleases me. Ponting early and I will be thoroughly erect.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Comical tbh. Perfect start. No wonder Strauss was grinning!!!!!

 

[elmuzzy66.]

[Jimbeam3678]

[elmuzzy66.]

[Stewy]

UH OH UH OH UH OH UH OH

 

[ringo747]

O my word! Ponting golden duck!

 

[Weebull]

Here comes the hat-trick ball...

Aww.

 

[ringo747]

Is a run out classed as part of a hatrick?
