The Ashes 2010-2011

[Big Pete]

We all know Mitch is capable of these innings, but like Siddle he has consistensy issues.

 

[ningnangnong]

Punter is gone.

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Bloody hell, useless old fart.

 

[ningnangnong]

Clarkey gone.

Our batting line up is pathetic.

 

[Fozz]

Clarke gone.

*sigh*

So much for the top order.

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Top order fail, once again.

Collectively, they haven't fired all series. Can't expect to win games with continued form like that.

 

[Jeba]

I reckon we need 350 at the very least to give ourselves a good chance. We may well knock them over for less than 200 in the second innings but if there's one thing Ricky Ponting-captained sides don't know how to do it's deliver the knock out punch.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Clarke has had a shocker this test, both times he has been out it has been all his own doing. Punter played the ball he got out to hopelessly and Hughes is always going to have a high chance of getting out early with his lose technique. I do hope we get to see the best of Hughes in the next test.

 

[Raw Boned Youngster]

Obviously a lot will depend on the partnership between Longbottom and Bong.
Great to see Norm Snackers return to form - the swing returned and there were shades of his South African series in his 6-38.
Poor old Hare, his horror run has continued, but you know what they say about champions? Bong was written off a couple of months ago and he has bounced back. Mynoff is so down on confidence at the moment and the tide of public opinion has certainly turned against him.

 

[Woody]

Perhaps Johnson should only be wheeled out at the WACA (a WA specialist) and spend the rest of the time in the nets. [icon_lol1.

I would be very surprised if Australia needed anywhere close to a 350 lead if the ball keeps on hooping and moving around.

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

I'm excited to see if young H. Jarse can cash in and cement a spot in the team today.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I'm excited to see if young H. Jarse can cash in and cement a spot in the team today.

agreed, I think H. Jarse is perfect for 6 or 7 in the test team if he can start making some runs...

 

[Raw Boned Youngster]

What price a match winning partnership between Iva Longbottom and Hugh Jarse?
That would be a crack up!

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

"Tight bowling but no penetration just yet"

Gold Heals.

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Longbottom smashing them through the covers at will.

Hundred coming up, and about time too if he can get it. That conversion rate needs a boost.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Healy is a complete and utter noob, can't stand his commentary..

 

[Bucking Beads]

ROFL, Watson OMG.. Oh well, superb batting deserved the ton.

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Could be another one here.
