[3oneday]

Can't have the Pigeon, he is out for the match, collective sigh of relief from all of England :cry: :cry:

Not now...Aussies won the toss on an overcast day and an under done pitch :wink:

Let the fireworks begin 8)

Terry.

[terryand]

I retract the above post after 3 overs :oops:

Terry.

[Jarro]

pitch looks lifeless, Bing Lee is getting driven for four at random by the Pommie batsman .... looks like first batsman to make a ton this series might be a Pom :roll:

on a brighter note, of the Aussie batsman, i'll pick Hayden to be our first centurian ...... he's looked pretty good from the word go on this tour.

[markTHEblake]

You didnt include any pommies in the Poll?

[AndyP]

He has. :?

I'm guessing Katich.

[Jarro]

sorry AndyP, i should've known your anti-queensland sentiment would prevent you from picking Hayden :roll:

[3oneday]

You didnt include any pommies in the Poll?I didn't think any of them fell under the banner "which Aussie" :wink: maybe which South African ?? :lol: :lol:

But yes, first ton is looking very much like Treswhateverthatis, with Lee securely back at his form from 18 months ago. :P

Pete

[Jarro]

love the cutaways to Ponting

he looks like he's got a timebomb ticking away up his arse :shock:

gonna take a lot of grit to grind out a win in this test.

[3oneday]

Looks like a 500 first innings, followed by another 500 by the Aussies, petering out to a tame draw. Which, where England are sitting, is a great result I suppose. A bit like the Kiwis when they toured here a few years ago and played for draws.

Pete

[Jarro]

might not even get that far yet, the forecast is for a wet weekend in that part of the world.

Wonder if pidgeon will be fit for the next one :?

[3oneday]

Wonder if pidgeon will be fit for the next one  :?He was smiling away in the change rooms, so hopefully there is some hope. Wonder if they will give that other bloke a run in one of the tests, the "other" fast bowler ??

Tait isn't it :?:

they need to start blooding some new young guns now, in a few years time, ALL the current quicks will be hanging up their boots :shock:

[Bruce]

First Aussie ton will be Hack Lee. I predict his figures will be 2/128 for the first innings.

[markTHEblake]

I guess I only looked at the subject of the thread then.

Pete

[AndyP]

sorry AndyP, i should've known your anti-queensland sentiment would prevent you from picking Hayden :roll:
There was a 6 in 7 chance of me not picking a Qlder. :roll:

I just don't think he is batting that well.

[Andrew]

Gilespie, although it will take 3 days :lol:

[Fishman Dan]

Well.....

It's not going to be HAYDEN! :roll:

[AndyP]

That's what I said. :razz:

What do I win? :roll:

[terryand]

Jeez Jarro.you after 69'er crown of"the kiss of death" ](*,)

Terry.

[Grunt]

My Ponting pick is looking very good indeed 50 up in good time.

[3oneday]

My Ponting pick is looking very good indeed 50 up in good time.another kiss of death there !!!! is my pick Langers suffering from concussion or what !!?? he'll just hang around waiting til his head clears, and his ribs, and his ... :lol: :lol:

Pete

[terryand]

You said it Pete. Will you lot keep ya thoughts and praise to yourselves [-X

Terry.

[AndyP]

A run out. One of the dumbest things you can do in test cricket. :roll:

[terryand]

You said it AP....He was cruising big time :?

Terry.

[3oneday]

Looks to me like the bowlers are the only ones getting centuries in this game. Surely, 2nd inning 2nd test, still no century ???

[Jarro]

Well.....

It's not going to be HAYDEN! :roll:

there's still the 2nd dig mullet-head :roll:

[AndyP]

Looks like the Aussie batting line-up is missing McGrath, who hasn't been dismissed yet and has scored 30 runs. Unlike that bunny Kaspa. :roll:

[Fishman Dan]

Well.....

It's not going to be HAYDEN! :roll:

there's still the 2nd dig mullet-head  :roll:

What a dill. I completely forgot...

It's STILL not going to be HAYDEN!

[cazandpaul]

Wonder Boy 8)

[Jarro]

ok, well Fishy assures me it ain't gonna be Hayden ... so i have to pick someone else.......

... what about Marto :wink:

[AndyP]

How about Shane Warne? :lol: :roll: :(

[Jarro]

How about Shane Warne?  :lol: :roll: :(

lets hope so :wink:

[3oneday]

How about Shane Warne?  :lol: :roll: :(

lets hope so  :wink:he has scored 2 first class centuries this season, but highly unlikely...

Pete

[3oneday]

Sooo, Test 3 in a few days, will it happen this time ??? :shock: :?

[Grunt]

Can I change my guess?

[AndyP]

Yeah, reset the poll.

[3oneday]

Yeah, reset the poll.go on then adminman, fusked if I know how.

Pete

[McMw]

can they go 3 test match without a century maker??? :shock:

[AndyP]

Yeah, reset the poll.go on then adminman, fusked if I know how.
Unfortunately, you can only delete it and then start a new one.

[3oneday]

Well, hopefully we can dismiss the tail and start working on a ton scorer (or 4 ??).

Looks like a Hayden wicket to me (how's that for a QLD kiss of death boys ?!?!?) :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Fishman Dan]

Parramatta.

Ooh sorry.. 2nd ton.

[3oneday]

Parramatta.

Ooh sorry.. 2nd ton. :cry: :cry: luckily the time keeper fits under our salary cap :shock: :shock:

First bowler to get a ton ???, how many does Gillespie have now ?? tons I mean... Warnie missed by one again :lol: :lol:

Pete

[markTHEblake]

Told ya's it would be a pom

[Fishman Dan]

Parramatta.

Pete

Ricky Stuart has taken whinging to a new level, but not even he's had a whinge about a time-keeper :lol:

I still don't really understand? Did Parra pour on 50 points in the 81st minute or something? :P

[3oneday]

I still don't really understand? Did Parra pour on 50 points in the 81st minute or something? :Psorry Dan, just me being me again. I was pleased the time keeper didn't go home and let them keep going, that's all.

It was a great effort to score by us, after 77 minutes............ anyway, back to the cricket :lol: :lol:

Pete

[3oneday]

I'm over this kiss of death thing - PONTING WILL MAKE A TON !!!!!!!

[Fishman Dan]

I'm over this kiss of death thing -  PONTING WILL MAKE A TON !!!!!!!

You want an early night mate?

Flintoff owns Katich.

[3oneday]

[McMw]

[3oneday]

obviously ur crystal ball's working....wadya reckon???? safe draw to the aussies????won't be up to see it if it does happen. I reckon the new ball will sort us out, one way or the other. At this stage, no idea !!!!

Pete

[McMw]

2 in 2 overs.....call it a night....

[Grunt]

We Did It, What a save, could this deflate the poms enough to go back to the norm and we give them 2 good hidings in the last 2 tests.

Glad I went to bed otherwise it would have been over b4 midnight. :lol:
