Post by: NE2000 on July 09, 2009, 01:16:25 pm: Hmmm...no Clark for the first test? I think Clark is really important for the Australian bowling lineup and shouldn't be ignored, he's more like McGrath than anyone else in the Australian lineup and McGrath used to own in the Ashes. Plus Clark was Man of the Series last time I think.

England - 7/336

Decent score by the poms, you'd think they'd make around 360-390ish which is a pretty good return. Sets up this test pretty evenly and alot rides on the English bowling performance in the next few days.

Especially coz they've got the spinners that can exploit a 5th day Sophia Gardens wicket when Australia presumably bats their 2nd innings. Sorry, Nathan Hauritz.

Post by: clinton_09 on July 09, 2009, 09:58:17 pm: i think England seems to have the upper hand atm. 435 is a good score for batting first as it puts a lot of pressure now on the aussies to make around 500

Yeah sorry.

A result = NOT a draw. So one team actually 'wins'.

same, i thought panesar would get out
Title: Re: Ashes 2009
Post by: NE2000 on July 13, 2009, 05:00:52 pm: Ponting complained about England's time-wasting tactics. imo they weren't such a big deal because the alloted overs were played through, more of a big deal was Johnson wasting the new ball, North bowling, Hilfy not getting his chance.
Title: Re: Ashes 2009
Post by: ReVeL on July 20, 2009, 11:26:13 am: Things are getting pretty interesting at Lords now.

Stumps on Day 4, Second Test.

Australia - 5/313 chasing 522 for the win, needing a further 209.

Not out batsmen:

Clarke - 125 (198)
Haddin - 80 (126)

This partnership is worth 181. After completely writing them off after being bowled out for 215 in the first innings, I think Australia are a real chance from this position. The match obviously hinges on if Clarke and Haddin can continue their partnership and for how long. Having said that, Johnson is no slouch with the bat and wouldn't be suprised if he made 50+ in this situation.

Going to make for an awesome finish tonight!

Post by: midas_touch on July 20, 2009, 12:01:29 pm: It will be a world record if we manage to pull this off. Go Aussies!
Title: Re: Ashes 2009
Post by: enwiabe on July 20, 2009, 03:42:27 pm: Mmm, the problem for Clarke and Haddin is getting their eye back in.

It's still a new ball and flintoff will be looking for a wicket early.

If they can hold steady for the first 10 overs or so, Australia should win.

Post by: Flaming_Arrow on July 20, 2009, 03:46:38 pm: Flintoff is a gun

Well done to England, they deserved it more.
