Albert Kirkey 0 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I think thisa total will be alright, can't put my finger on why but I'm confident Harmy and Flintoff will knock a few of them over early on in their innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellsy 0 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 We were always going to have to step up a level to compete with Australia, if that means playing the psychological game with them then so be it. 10918[/snapback] Exactly. It's not like the teams don't get along - I read that Flintoff embraced Lee after the 2nd test. It's how the Aussies used to play - chummy when play is over, mortal enemies when it's game on. Presumably Ponting has forgotten this, he seems to have forgotten most other aspects of how to captain his team. 10923[/snapback] Yeah apparently Brett Lee, Andrew Flintoff and Hoggard get on really well. Before one of the days plays they were warming up together, sharing a joke and at the end they all said good luck and started the days play. Gillespie needs to be dropped. It isnt even a mullet no more it is more of a mop and not a traditional mullet, disgraceful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't taking the piss either. He's mellowed, must be all that phone sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellsy 0 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 (edited) Incidentally, where's Wellsy? 11238[/snapback] Calm down boys i am here Yeah we are in poo at the moment. Hmmm i dont know what else to say.... Billy Bowden has had an interesting days umpiring. Oh and Ponting hasnt had a very good Ashes series aswell at the moment. Argh needs to start hitting some form especially for a number 3. A nice captains knock wouldnt of gone astray ala one M. Vaughan. Also speaking of Michael Vaughan, does anyone have the full version of his cricket manager? That was an awesome game!

I dont know how they will go about rectifying it. Jones is bowling well, getting plenty of swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsy 0 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 (edited) Hmm another one, Katich out. 4/115 Katich being brought up on WA pitches leaves a ball outside off, ball nips back takes the top of off stop with Katich not even playing a shot. Great ball Flintoff. We are in trouble. Marto and Gilly will save us. Cmon you West Aussie boys! Oh yeah and i just saw something on the coverage about a Merlin machine, which has re-created that Gatting ball by Warne. The England players use to practice against Warne. Anyone know anything more about this machine? Edited August 12, 2005 by wellsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan 0 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 What do you think of our chances in Australia wellsy? Think the pitches will suit Harmo and Flintoff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsy 0 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 What do you think of our chances in Australia wellsy? Think the pitches will suit Harmo and Flintoff? 11266[/snapback] Would be interesting at the moment, our pitches are much quicker especially the WACA and the Gabba. I think Harmison and Flintoff could have a good time but having said that i think McGrath, Lee and even Gillespie would have the wood on your batsman on Australian pitches. We all remember what Harmison was like last time he was in Australia, wide, wide, wide, wide, wide, wide, wide, wide, wide, wide, four, wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chip2388 0 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 133-5 If we can get Gilchrist out i'm confident of them following on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsy 0 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 We havent been forced to follow on since 1988 when we played the Pakis. Clarke has a rooted back and if he comes in i doubt it will be for long. Things are looking bad at the moment. Next test out - Gillespie, Clarke (if he isnt fit) and in Tait and Hodge. Im going to bed, have fun you pommy bastards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
