Ashes 2015

[AFCB_Mark]

Our batsmen are playing some terrible shots today.

 

[SpireiteDan]

FFS.

How to undo yesterday's work in less than a session. Our batsmen simply don't look up to this.

 

[SpireiteDan]

Oh and Buttler should have reviewed. Too right he didn't though, need to save them for Steve Finn.

Just fuck off England.

 

[Matt_]

Anything over 100 lead will be very useful on this pitch. You have to fancy England's attack to do more damage when the convicts bat again.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Good partnership developing here as Ali has 50 and our lead now stands at 129. Need to keep going.

 

[Ciderhead]

281 in the end - good effort. That partnership between Ali and Broad could be crucial.

They'll need to bat very well and us to bowl pretty poorly to get the 300-350 they need to give themselves a chance

 

[Super_horns]

Got away with it a bit thanks to Broad and Ali...

Hopefully won't have too much to chase.

 

[spireite]

Yea if we end up having to chase much more than 200, I don't fancy us on this pitch!

 

[4froale]

Warner is coming at us here, 50/1, we really need another one soon.

 

[4froale]

Smith goes, 63/2.

 

[Super_horns]

Finn really turning on the style!

Be over by the end of today...

 

[Ciderhead]

Has a test ever been won in 2 days before?

 

[4froale]

Brilliant from Finn, I was just starting to worry.

 

[Pilgrim Meister]

Looks like my plan of going to Edgbaston tomorrow have vanished. The Refund lines will be busy

Yeah we beat the West Indies in 2 days at Headingly back in 2000.

5hrs 33 mins is the official record

 

[Ciderhead]

5hrs 33 mins is the official record

Ha, wow, love to see what Boycott would make of that!

 

[Pilgrim Meister]

Brief scores: South Africa 36 (Bert Ironmonger 5 for 6, Laurie Nash 4 for 18) and 45 (Bert Ironmonger 6 for 18, Bill O’Reilly 3 for 19) lost to Australia 153 (Alan Kippax 42, Jack Fingleton 40; Neville Quinn 3 for 29, Quintin McMillan 3 for 29, Sandy Bell 3 for 52) by an innings and 72 runs.

Ha, wow, love to see what Boycott would make of that!

15th February 1932 1932 Aus vs SA

 

[silvergull]

Amazing the difference getting shot of Saker has had. He ruined Finn

 

[Saddlerrad]

We are going to throw this away. Watch the Aussies get a 180 lead etc.

Day 5 and that might be a tricky chase, not on day 3.

 

[4froale]

Nevill gone, lets get them swept up now and it will be over by 3pm.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Day 5 and that might be a tricky chase, not on day 3.

180 is a big score chasing to win under pressure, knowing your best bowler probably won't feature again in this series, in a match where 180 has been seen to be a lot of runs.

 

[4froale]

100 lead up and 50 for Starc, we cant fuck this up, surely?

 

[4froale]

Stokes comes in and removes Hazlewood, surely Lyon cant stick around for long?

 

[JJH]

Root, what a catch!

 

[JJH]

Face that Cook.

Absolutely brilliant ball.

 

[Super_horns]

"Stand up if your 2-1 up"!

 

[JJH]

BOOM!!
