2009 Ashes Series - England vs. Australia **Spoilers**

[oli collett]

The ball's swinging so at least there's some comfort.

Aye. If Jimmy Anderson is on top of his game he's defo capable of ripping through the Aussies.

But then it's that "if" word again..

 

[JohnnyG]

Onions is in good form on swinging pitches too.

 

[ringo747]

Wheels coming off very fast.

 

[oli collett]

8 down now..

 

[dirtydog]

Good old England.

Doh-Doh!

Can't really blame the tail-enders too much, it's the middle order failure which has done us on this total, we should have been 350-3/4 to start today

Aye. 220-1 to 374-8 is a joke!

 

[Gilly]

I'd take 400 now!

 

[ringo747]

Wont even get to 400. Broad should maybe have taken it a bit easier instead of swinging at everything.

Usless! why am I watching this crap

DohDohDoh

 

[oli collett]

Yay, Jimmy off the mark!

 

[ringo747]

Where is Monty when you need him!

 

[Rich_L]

LOL Siddle looks like he's going to chuck up his guts after every ball

Reckon he's had a massive fry-up and didn't plan on bowling this early

 

[The Dread Pirate]

3 Wickets in 15 Minuites?!?!?!? I'm not Happy!!!

 

[ringo747]

Doesn't Jimmy A play a beautiful backfoot drive!

 

[oli collett]

Doesn't Jimmy A play a beautiful backfoot drive!

Sure does. He really is a decent batsman now - I'd say he could get near to becoming a bowling all-rounder later in his career if he got some leg sided scoring strokes.

Another nice shot!

Edit: Just to add, from Jan 08 to present he averages over 20 with the bat, not bad.

 

[platypus]

Nice to see our tail-enders embarrassing the middle order.

I really wish this would lead to KP being dropped, still I'm not sure who could replace him.

 

[Rich_L]

Anderson
