smoggeordie 0 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 It's a bit rich about Ponting talking about the 'spirit of the game', after his antics at Trent Bridge in '05. They lost a minute and a half according to Sky Sports, so that's under 20 seconds a day if you take it over 5 days. Less than the time taken for a sightscreen to be moved etc. Time to get Harmison back in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 It wasn't nice to see the timewasting though. Anyway great result but all in all it was a shit performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2188 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 tbh they had over 50 minutes and 11 overs to get one wicket including Monty Panesar, possibly one of the worst batsman in test cricket. They should have won easily and it's partly down to the Aussies letting England off the hook and partly down to sheer determination of Collingwood and the tail enders not to throw away wickets cheaply. This is just typical graceless bitter bollocks from Ponting and if I was Australian I'd be embarrassed by the hypocrisy. He should shut his trap, show a bit of class and get on with it. The Aussies were by far and away the better team over the match and they should leave it at that instead of whining like bubbly bairns about timewasting. Even if it's true.

I was thinking about this last night. England were pretty much complete shite throughout, yet the convicts still couldn't beat us! If we can just up our game a bit, we may be able to give them a better match next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you listen to his post match interview on the ground at all? The interview where he congratulated England and Collingwood for holding out? Your physio needs to lose his manboobs as well.

I said nothing of the kind so i dont know why you brought this up. I agree he is a little bitch at times, i was just defending him because he did congratulate England and Collingwood for battling it out et al. Sledging, part of the game. Love a good sledge, find me a player who doesn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken 119 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Bit disillusioned by some of the decisions made by Ponting in the last session. Siddle should have had more overs and Hauritz was overused imo. Match that should have been won I thought Hilfenhaus should definitely have had more overs, he was taken out of the attack way too early. I don't understand why Ponting took him off and persisted with Mitchell Johnson. Johnson absolutely wasted an opportunity with the second new ball. Anyway a draw is a decent enough result. I don't blame England for time wasting. They are absolutely outclassed in every facet of the game. Let them send out a fat bastard of a physio to waste time. Seeing him waddle on then off with his boobs jiggling about was probably the highlight of the test match for me, besides the 4 centuries made. I really can't see England winning any of the next 4 matches. They offer nothing. They get their hopes up by beating a bunch of part timers from the Caribbean and think they're in with a chance against Australia. The best they can hope for are 4 draws. Who knows, we may see that fat bastard waddling onto the ground again eh? And England will once again celebrate a draw as if it were a win.

Not saying we deserved much out of the game but I think you arrogance is a bit misplaced since Monty Panesar (one of the biggest 'rabbits' in test cricket) looked like he could have batted all day against your average attack.

Who the fuck is Onions... you'll need potatoes, shitakes and rice plus more and more carbs before you get even close. I'm not saying we weren't inferior in every aspect though. The point is it was a great result under the circumstances because of that. And winning / losing has very little to do with fans' expectations as I think a lot of people thought England had a great chance of recapturing the Ashes and still do so I wouldn't say there's much to your argument that we the difference in the teams is down to fans not expecting to win. Also, I think the celebrations were largely short-lived because we were outplayed (I was delighted because we should have lost when you looked at the situation we were in but not kidding myself we were any great shakes). I still think Australia will win because although they aren't the side they were 4 or 2 years ago we're nowhere near the side we were last time we played you lot in England. We've been poor over the last couple of years in particular. We've got a bit of a chance if we up our game though I think because it's in England and the lack of experience against swing might be a factor. I actually think on paper we have at least as good an attack as yours too (especially with Brett Lee out). Trouble is we'll have to perform at nearly 100% in every session of every test and we haven't looked like doing that lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact from what I recall, Lee and McGrath seemed a lot happier with that than the England batsmen. They were only one wicket away from defeat.

I wasn't going to post in here either but i felt compelled to stick up for Punter. Can't wait till Lords though. Hopefully Hughes does a bit of work on his technique. Don't know what was going on with how he batted in the first innings. Also Mitch bowled poorly on day 5 and i hope he bounces back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
