The Ashes 2010-2011

[Coxy]

Kawaja in for Clarke. His head just isn't right.

Still managed a decent score today, albeit falling at the end.

That last bit is the key. He drops concentration and loses his wicket when Australia needs him most. Pathetic.

 

[Jeba]

I'd still rather that innings than anything else he has produced do far this series.

 

[Bucking Beads]

It is pathetic to be calling a bloke who makes 80 pathetic. I guess that what I have come to.expect from a clueless wanker.

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Just hope it doesn't prove too costly and we just miss out on a draw, as you would think Pup would've been able to bat some valuable minutes in the morning session. I sure as shit don't feel comfy with North facing a new pill straight up on the last day and Haddin being our last bat.

Weather looks to be a good 4-6 hours out ATM, so assuming it eventuates we'll have about 2 sessions to bat (hence why that Clarke wicket may prove costly - hope not though).

I'm tipping us to be 8 down with scores roughly level when the rains (hopefully) come.

Now, let's dance [icon_drun

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Broad gone for the tour. Tremlett or Bresnan to come in you would think.

Unlucky for him, but this is good news for us today as Strauss will only have two quicks to rotate. Hopefully Colly won't pull a few out of his arse though.

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Disgraceful shot from Huss.

Not needed at all.

 

[mrslong]

goodbye forever marcus north sayonara

 

[ningnangnong]

We're in the shit.

 

[Big Pete]

Well that was s**t....

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

That's the series IMO. Poms only need 1 from 3. This is panning out just like '09.

North has played his last Test for Australia and not a moment too soon.

 

[Fozz]

Ponting can't win an Ashes series to save his life.

 

[Meat77]

Ponting can't win an Ashes series to save his life.

Actually he won one 5-0 not that long ago...

Oh for even half those players to still be going around!

 

[Je$ter]

Ponting can't win an Ashes series to save his life.

That's because he doesn't have McGrath or Warne to bowl and tell him how to set a field.

In fact, **** off Siddle and Dohery and put McGrath and Warne back in. They wouldn't go for 0/121 or 1/158, they'd at least snag 2 or 3 wickets.

 

[Beachy]

The fact that we basically didnt make 300 in either innings on the biggest road since the M1 is a disgrace

 

[Bucking Beads]

Yeah our batting is a major worry. I can see 2 changes to the batting line up for perth

 

[Browny]

So Hughes in for the Kat
Smith in for North
Hauritz in for Doherty

Any other changes?

Why play 2 spinners in Perth?

If you're going to put Smith in leave him as the lone spinner and play someone like (dare I say it) Johnson or even Mitchell Starc or another quick - maybe if we play 10 bowlers someone might take a wicket eventually...

 

[Bucking Beads]

Good point meat. Johnson is a chance and starc is injured. Interesting to see what the changes will be
