5th test thread

England batting.

first over just one run but at least no wickets

 

Spoke to soon, 1 down

Cook back in his Hutch

 

How long before the Aussie headlights catch Bunny Bell????

 

who'd be ian bell now. he looks startled when he's doing well.

 

biff biff!

2 fours from Strauss 21-1

 

Super Strauss 50 for him

96-1 fairly good start

 

Strauss gone for 55, bowled Hilfenhaus.

 

131-2 at the moment, Bell looks like he should get a half century. The problem is, despite COllingwood doing well in the first test, the bloke does not full me with confidence, he is not test quality and certainly not a test match number 4.

 

158 for 2 at drinks. Not great but not too bad.

Only thing is I really don't rate either of the current batsmen.

 

177-3

Collingwood c M Hussey b Siddle 24

Bell 72 not out :sign15:
Trott 0 not out

 

Well done Bell, under huge pressure he made runs.

Sorry state of affairs now.

 

248-6

We need more runs hopefully trott will push on currently on 33* and with broad 0* hoepfully him and swann will get some runs so we can get nearer 400.

 

Winning the **** this morning I honestly thought (hoped) we could get 500 and put the pressure on the convicts.

400 is a minimum I would want but the reality says we may be lucky to get 300.

 

Trott to get a hundred, swann about 40 and broad to get a 50. England roughly to get 400

You have heard it here first

 

Bloody disaster

we might scrape 350. If Harmy comes to the party then we have a chance, if not then they are going to be out of sight by the end of day 3 and we won't be able to put any pressure on them.

We must get early wickets tomorrow, 3 by lunch or 4 by tea to have any chance

 

aussies ashes this year.... bugger.

 

Swann will skittle the Aussies for 112 all out. Fear not. That pitch is gonna be cut up like a Scottish junkie by the time we get the Aussies in bat.

 

Anderson gone, first ever test cricket duck.

 

We've had 3 appeals, one of them should have been out.

 

85-2 for the aussies.

Both Broad. No more Ponting or Watson.

 

89 - 3

Hussey ou Lbw to Broad again.

 

GTFI!

I reckon Stuart Broad p1sses pure champagne.

 

Good old Broady.

Handy with the ball and bat.

I fully expect Broad to replace Freddie as England's number 7 after the Ashes.

 

93-4

Broad again! 4-25 for him. Caught, not sure who by.

 

Trott !

 

trott

 

hes big hes bad hes better than his dad stuart broad !!!

 

OMG I've just come!

North lbw b Swann 8

 

COME ON ENGLAND!!

PAH to all those who thought we should have got 450. We're gonna do this!! We really are!! Remember the day.

 

109 - 6 now swannyyy!

 

111-7 broad.

Get in there!

 

OMG! I've involuntarily blown my load over this session. Come on England!!!

131-8 swannnnyyyyyyy
