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

[ringo747]

First wicket gone. O dear.

Strauss gone Great reflex catch by North in the slips though

 

[cymatty]

And now our short batting line up will be exposed.

 

[ringo747]

Bell and Bopara just simply HAVE to come to the party today. If there was ever a time they need to perform its now.

 

[Rich_L]

Doh, Bopara gone..16-2. Rubbish dismissal

 

[ringo747]

Idiot. Bopara should be dropped. He has been rubbish all series. Surely Shah would even have been better.

 

[Weebull]

Come on Bell, show us you're finally worth something at Test level. :/

 

[oli collett]

Dreadful.

 

[oli collett]

Interesting the commentators just picked up the no ball - i spotted that at the time. I think it's just OK, but in the last test one of Australia's wickets was a no ball.

Not that I'm bitter - but if you start looking closely at this stuff the umpiring decisions often do even themselves out over time.

 

[Weebull]

For the love of god Bell, relax.

 

[ringo747]

This is a joke.

 

[Weebull]

Oh gee would you fancy that

 

[Rich_L]

Doh Bell gone 39-3

 

[oli collett]

all out for < 200

 

[ringo747]

If England don't get over 200 then we can say bye bye the 1-0 lead. I think not having a proper batsman in for Fred will be a big mistake.

 

[Rich_L]

Too early to start doing rain dances?

 

[Father Ted]

Barring bad weather this one's going to be over inside 4 days, I'll reserve judgment on England's batting until the Aussies have had a go, could be a low scoring game.

 

[ringo747]

Im off to look for a new sport! This is woeful.

 

[Rich_L]

Ohhh deearrrr...Colly out 42-4

 

[dirtydog]

Be lucky to get 100 at this bloody rate :/
