Ashes 3rd Test

[Ultimate TC]

No Hughes No Haddin. Watsons done well for his Half century. Can we win it?

3 competitors in this match.

Australia - Want to win, need to win!
England - Want to win, need to win!
The Rain - Wants a draw!

I cant see a result coming out of this.

oh no what a great start for the aussies to day 2 lol!!!! Watson 1st ball LbW and hussey next ball for a golden. Ponting has just broken AB's record but has got out

I reckon the curators left the covers on over night to let the dew stay on the pitch, that's why Anderson is swinging it so much. F***n dogs.

 

[howzat]

Well we are all out for 263 - small wag in the tail...

What a collapse... How many more chances does Hussey get? You don't leave a ball that pitches in line no matter what way you think it is going to swing...

 

[BoondasH1]

Think it is time for Hussey to go, but who would come in for him? Pill Hughes?

 

[howzat]

Siddle strikes - 1/2

100%
Hussey has been carried for WAY too long IMHO

What a disgrace of a batting performance today (By Most).

 

[Warney]

who will replace him? The future of young Aussie prospects are unknown. I am going to start a thread about this topic of Mr Huss

 

[Fishy]

why isnt clark in the team i will never no i just dont get it

 

[Richo]

Agreed!

He should have come in for Hauritz!

 

[ljandkg]

As a neutral I have no idea why Stuart Clarke isn't always in the team. He ties up an end and can take wickets....Mitchell Johnson is a liability....why would they play him when he's going for 5's in practice games?? I know he's a lefty but he's spraying them all over....

 

[cricket_cox]

i think australia should look at what bowlers we had a couple of years ago.

McGrath
Lee
Clark
Warne
5th choice, Johnson

Clark and McGrath bery similar, we should have clark!
We need a fulltime spinner knowone good enough and young enough!

I feel sorry for the selectors. They have a hard job.

 

[howzat]

5/176 still trailing by 87 runs, could there be any other result besides a draw???

 

[Warney]

well one england supporter thinks they can bowl us out in less than 10 overs and win them the game

 

[howzat]

They still have to make our total first

Mitch is bowling with a newfound spring in his step, maybe he scored a few wickets with jessica yesterday after the day 3 washout...

 

[Warney]

yeh i was just thinking about that, maybe she 'sparked' him up 'sensibly' of course I bet Mitch enjoyed the day off!

 

[dannyboy4]

draw i think

 

[howzat]

7/316 @ tea and with a long last session planned, subject to light, I am sure England are thinking about setting a target and trying to bowl us out for the win.....

For the many pikers out there sleeping instead of watching the cricket, England are all out for 376, 113 runs in the lead with a scheduled 2hours left in the day's play plus day 5 to come... We need lots of runs and quick!

England's tail wagged, Oz of to a ok start
