ripstanley Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 5/23 of 18 overs. It looks like the wicket must of made a dramatic change overnight. I think the run rate yesterday was over 4 and today it is just over 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurnell Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Perhaps England feel guilty for their years of gloating and are throwing this series to make the Aussies feel better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookMan Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) England 6/62 now...second over back from lunch. Lyon surprises everyone and delivers a good ball.

Old Croc Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 England 6/62 now...second over back from lunch. Lyon surprises everyone and delivers a good ball. Ballance caught Haddin Would Australia enforce a follow-on? Bad luck for the young Zimbabwean in his first test. I thought he, and the Kiwi, might have been able to dig England out of the mire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah you can't rely on foreigners. I remember thinking that maybe the pacific islanders could have beaten the Lions for you but you still took a right humping didn't you.

Talk to your Kiwi player, it's his type of football. (although he's a bit busy at the moment saving England with the bat and ball!)

Ballance caught Haddin Would Australia enforce a follow-on? Eng now 6/97 so looks as if they will avoid it anyway. Even if there was a collapse I would give the bowlers a spell and have another dig. Wouldn't like to bat last on this pitch either. Still, Stokes looking good and still a long way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOPS no old croc, how wrong i am!!!! I seem to remember a certain Andrew Symonds (born Birmingham, England) winning quite a few one sayers for the Convicts. Yes, I remember you, and your ilk, constantly talking about this fellow years ago when the England side was packed with ready made South Africans cricketers. Hence my digs now. Symonds was born of West Indian and Scandinavian parents, and migrated to Australia as a toddler where he learnt how to play cricket. Unfortunately, he seemed to have inherited his waster tendencies from his birthplace in the English midlands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookMan Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Oh come on! <deleted>??? Lyon goes for 30 runs in his last 3 overs and then Clarke gives him a 4th over! Result: Lyon gives another 9 runs toEngland. 4 overs for 39 runs. I know Lyon sings the team song with gusto and has a happy demeanor, but is that enough? edit: Clarke brings back Mitch Johnson. 1st over and a wicket. England all out for 155 Edited January 4, 2014 by BookMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England all out for 155 Lyon will have a chance to bowl in favourable conditions in the last innings. Why he would be given so many overs now, when the fasties are cleaning them up, is a mystery. Clarke mystifies me at times. Anyone else heard the rumour he will retire after this test? Has always hated touring apparently and the bad back is a problem.

Boksida Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 wasn't it a shame that the magnificent Tim Horan, the IRISH stalwart of the wallabies wasn't still playing to save you getting hammered by the Lions. Tim Horan was born and bred in Australia as was his father. Started his schoolboy career at a Protestant boarding school (Downlands) and went on to the Queensland Reds and the Wallabies. How do you get Irish out of that? You've been caught out in a flagrant porky. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David48 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 David quickly checking to make sure BookMan hasn't posted this ... Apparently, never before in Ashes Test History has England been 'Outed' for all their 100 Wickets. Meaning that, at the end of each Innings England were 10 for not very much. Warner has used up all his luck and Australia are 1-27 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7by7 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 That's why they are called the British and Irish Lions! Both Australia and England in a number of sports have used players who were not native born. End of, please. As for the cricket; not a lot I can say, really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookMan Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Interesting stat. Top run scorer for the 10 ashes test this summer is......Chris Rogers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will27 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Interesting stat. Top run scorer for the 10 ashes test this summer is......Chris Rogers! I'm pretty sure Rogers was averaging about 31 before the series and he's now lifted it to 40+ which is a great effort. Bailey just out for 42 which is too little too late. Still over 2 and a half days to go. I hope Clarke lets them try and bat all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are not all out i reckon he'll declare half an hour before stumps....they would be 350 by then so a lead of over 500.

chooka Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 How clear was this on the T.V the players celebrating in the middle of the pitch "Australia you F#$cking beauty." English commentators jumping straight in to apologise to their viewers for the language. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
