The Ashes 2010-2011

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Ponting throws the toys out of the pram.

Captaining this team is ruining him. Time to take the weight off, Punter.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Pontings batting isnt good enough to be in the team anymore. He has been well below his best for 2 years

 

[Browny]

Ive been reading the baggygreen online commentary, doesnt sound like Ponting will get out of this latest dummy spit

 

[Bucking Beads]

I think he will.be lucky to play the 5th trst

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

I bet Roebuck's got an article penned already.

 

[Bucking Beads]

It was pathetis from ponting. He should know better.

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Ended up getting docked 40% of his match fee. Quite lucky for a repeat offender you'd have to say.

I wanna know exactly what he was saying. Word has it he told Alim Dar that he didn't call for the review, whereas he clearly did. Another says that hotspot showed a clear knick, which it clearly didn't. He's not that stupid is he???

Why are Haddin and the slips standing so far back? The ball isn't carrying, Haddin is having to bend forward a lot. There's surely going to be an edge that doesn't carry.

 

[Jeba]

And there you go, just saw a highlight of one that didn't carry to Watson.

And just to point out a sublte inaccuracy in the KFC ad where Bollinger gets out for a duck and the colonel puts the chicken on the screen. The background audio has Tony Greig saying it's 2/157, so does that mean Dougie will be lining up at first drop in the one dayers???

He can't be any worse than the other jokers at the top of the order right now!

And the Captain Obvious Award for 2010 goes to Steve Waugh, who proclaims in the news today "the batsmen haven't done the hard work". No fucking shit, Sherlock!

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

So the deal now is that we need to bat at least 6 sessions, put 600+ on the scoreboard and hope that the Poms won't have enough overs to chase down the difference.

Would take a trillion % form reversal from our top/middle order (sans Huss) to make it even fractionally possible.

 

[Jeba]

If we get through it would surely be the greatest draw in the history of cricket. Would be like a loss to the Poms, but surely we can't do it. No Langer's or Gilchrist's in this team at the moment.

 

[Aeetee]

Draw this game and we'll win the next and Ponters will keep his job........ Maybe ?

 

[Jeba]

Fucken hell, a run out. No no no no no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although, did anyone else get an inkling that Prior's gloves hit the stumps before the ball hit his gloves????

 

[Jeba]

Hughes was really looking the goods too. Could've been a career-defining innings for him. Nothing worse as a batsman than getting runout.
