The Cricket Thread 2015-16

258-5 .

 

264-5 166 behind.

 

Good day. Get rid of Shane Watson LBW, and we could wrap it up with a decent lead.

 

I enjoy watching cricket , but I'm not that tactically savvy don't really . I was interested to hear Boycott saying when he saw Australia send in a Night watchman , he thought that was a sign of defensiveness .

 

I just hope the bowlers keep their lines as tight tomorrow as they've finished this evening. A couple of those wickets were the result of strangling, which is hard to do against those batsmen.

 

Blofeld

"I was walking home to my hotel and there were a great lot of seagulls eating on the road. A car disturbed them, they flew up, they flew over me and they deposited on me. I can't tell you what it was like, I thought I was in a hailstorm. On my coat, on my head, on my shoes I had to go straight into the shower. It was really very embarrassing so my friendship with seagulls is really at a crisis point."

 

So far, so good. Some pundits were talking as if we are in the lead/control of this match....far too soon when the Aussies have those wickets left. We are playing well and are in a position to win this match...but Aussies still in it. Oh, another wicket gone.....

 

Watson gone.

Thought he was OK , not any more !

 

Lyon gone . 2 wickets for 1 run .

 

A difficult time in his life!! I cannot imagine anything happening in my life which would make me think, 'I really need to kill an elephant.' His apologies aren't worth a toss....he's sorry he got caught out. Sod.

 

The Aussies are going for it ......

 

New ball next over...

 

What has Rickie Ponting done to his hair....seems to have fallen into a tar pot.

Any sort of lead could be valuable with Australia batting last.

 

306-9. Going well!

 

Aus 308 all out. Excellent effort from England.
