Ser Camaris Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Fixed that for you.But he is probably the best player in the team atm, as much as I hate to admit it...There are other words I could have used, but this is a family board :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxter Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Good, even session of test match cricket :thumbsup:. Doherty drop might be costly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereward Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Is it just me or does Pietersen look disturbingly like Oswald Mosley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamjm Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 There are other words I could have used, but this is a family board :-PI heard the crowd using a few of them when Watson was bowling. There was a lot of talk leading up to the match about the first session possibly setting the tone for the series, and whichever team came out on top would have a big advantage. As it turned out, if it did set the tone then it'll be a very tight series because neither team really took an advantage, it's fairly even between the two.I didn't think Australia bowled particularly well overall. They got one wicket from a good ball from Watson and one from a terrible ball, but other than that they've mostly been fairly innocuous. England will probably be content with the score, but they haven't exactly dominated the bowling and they were lucky not to lose more wickets.

adamsputnik Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Hey guys, I'm actually watching cricket live for the first time in yonks. Hooray the Internet.Never heard of this Doherty bloke but he looks like a goer. Pity about the drop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubby Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Honours even on the first session, IMO.When Watson bowls to Pietersen is it fair to describe it as "Tit to Twat"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 shit. I cannot find the Ashes on the tee-vee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 shit. I cannot find the Ashes on the tee-vee.Gutted. Test Match Special is always a good reserve option, can you get it in the US?Fairly even session but Pietersen and Cook could do with putting together a big partnership.

Ser_not_appearing_yet Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Test Match Sofa guysWay better than Test match special.50/50 session imo. Much happier with Siddle and Doherty in the Australian side than Bollinger or Hauritz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else, I'll find a video stream -- I just prefer not being hunched over my computer any more than I have to be. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamjm Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Never heard of this Doherty bloke but he looks like a goer. Pity about the drop...Considering his inexperience, I thought he did OK for his first spell bowling in Test cricket. I wonder if the dropped catch will turn out to be expensive?Anyway, I'm off to bed now. Hopefully England will still have some wickets left by the time I get up.

Paxter Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 There goes KP. Well bowled by Siddle. Still an extremely even contest, this is really good cricket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubby Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 [lawry voice]Got him, yeeeeeees![/lawry voice]Also, cricinfo's on-line commentators just posted this gem:And we have a double change. Peter Siddle from the Vulture Street End. He's got the collar turned upwards, a-la Mark Waugh. White zinc cream on the lip, a-la Dean Jones. Moustache, a-la Merv Hughes. The ultimate retro cricketer.

Paxter Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 This partnership is crucial now. Bell is the form player in the England side and Cook has look very composed for his half-century (other than the cut-shot that he was dropped on). Australia will be well in front of this game if another wicket falls soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubby Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 I should go to lunch more often.When I stepped out for a salad roll it was 4/215 and tea. I come back after a pleasant 45 minutes with laoise and Steven Erikson to see that Siddle has a hat-trick!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
