I disagree, had Giles taken that catch at to make it 79/4 we would've won this test. At the time it was the right decision, we didn't know that a pathetic 2nd innings was about to happen. Even if sombody had managed an extra 30 runs, or the top 6 all managed to hit one boundry, we would've...
36 overs left. They need a RR of 4.6, I can see them doing it. Hayden and Langer will come out firing and will definately get a few early boundries. We will need wickets to slow them down. One things for cirtain, this is going to the wire.
I can't believe I've got to go to work after this :nono:
f*** sake Koertzen you c*nt, that was well above the knee roll. I know we've been super SHIT, but it doesn't help when you lose two wickets to decisions that aren't even marginal
On a brighter note, there's someone in an Albion shirt standing on the grass bank.
It's a lost cause now, Warne and Lee look like they could get Hoggard at any minute the other two won't last long and Aus will only need to score at about 4 an over. I've tried to go to sleep but I'm too pissed...
All that hard work down the shitter. Strauss and Bell came out this morning and didn't play any shots, as if to say we're going to sit here all day when they should've been looking to post a total. Now the initiative is firmly with them, they've set an attacking field and warne is going after...
I take it no-one else is bothering, they're cirtainly not over there because the ground's half empty. 7.5 overs, 9 runs = bedtime. I don't know what I was expecting to be honest.
Important wicket. Hopefully that'll knock the wind out of their sails again. Giles' main weapon seems to be people slogging him and getting caught on the boundry
You get the feeling we've lost a bit of momentum. We needed to come out fireing to make the most of the new ball, but that hasn't really happened. They'll probaby go on and make about 500 or so now.
