England v Aussies - Day 5 @ Old Trafford.... COME ON!

[B.M.F]

Aussie team think they won it, what a bunch of wankers.

Don't be such a cock. that result for the Aussies was as good as a win and gives them a chance of winning the ashes so of course they would react that way.

 

[Dez]

gutted. We deserved that one. A draw is a travesty.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

GBH you are a complete dickhead,

[Withdean Wanderer]

bugger, well played all round though, another classic match!

 

[B.M.F]

I'm pissed off,

and?

You should be pleased that you got to watch an amazing days cricket. Whoever says Test matches were boring should be made to watch this game.

Im pleased with that, but that last over was the worst over ive seen in a long time.

 

[Dez]

but winning is all that matters. A draw in a great game is no consolation. I'm pissed off too!

And as of next year, you will have to have Sky to watch a days cricket, unless you go to the match. Well said B.M.F.

Absolutely fantastic cricket from both sides - England set a tally I didn't think we could get - and we didn't, a draw is fantastic for us....just wish all test matches were this good...

(and I'm not in labour)

I would of gave the ball to Hoggard to bowl the last over.

 

[Dez]

I agree. At least he would have been accurate. I'm off for a pint. Gutted.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

GBH needs to have a kick up the arse.

 

[Sammy the seagull]

Yer im gutted, we should of won this one.over the last 5 days we were the better team.

 

[El Turi]

Grrrrrr,can't believe the Aussie's nicked a draw out of that!Just hope we haven't missed a glorious chance to win this series.

 

[Everest]

I had it up earlier

Time to head for the car and listen to the climax

What the hell were you 2 up to then?

 

[dougdeep]

If only Freddie had got the last over, I think we would have won.

Review time.

Vaughn made some interesting decisions today, he set an attacking field in the morning but with only two slips? Three or it could have been four chances went thru the slips b4 he put begrudingly more players in there.

Be back later daughter calling 8,15

jones looked good everytime, but he was used as a fill in for freddie and harrison. today i would have prefered jones.

freddie is good this morning he slowed down his pace and as a result he swung the ball. this afternoon, he jusy relied on his brute force and switched his thinking head off. i expect a bit more creATIVE THINKING HERE. THE SAME APPLIES TO HARRISON, TO BE OF MCGRATH QUALITY, ITS PACE AND BRAIN,

A COUPLE OF BAD UMPIRE DECISIONS . this mornings was a joke, definately two lbw's this evening. but then the umpire's don't have a replay!

sorry about crap typing i am holding my 3 day old baby!

ponting innings was good but we didn't test him at the beginning, more people in the slips and posssibly a silly mid on, was needed.

great day of cricket, over the three tests i say we have dominated all but three days, but during two of those three days we had no guts, well unlike the fight the aussies have displayed here and at egbaston.

trent bridge is cruccial and remember we must beat the aussies to get back the ashes,

 

[Gazwag]

Im pleased with that, but that last over was the worst over ive seen in a long time.

I think its called pressure remember Milans penalties ...........

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Any chance of bowling at the stumps?
