Suna hai bari khabsoorat baal thi teaser bhai! what do you say?

Re: Ashes 1st Test - Lords

Go Englaaaand go!

Did Hayden do the mistake or was it a good ball? btw.. I heard Langer could have been run out earlier?

Re: Ashes 1st Test - Lords

Pieterson drops Ponting on duck, I guess Ponting will go ahead and make 200+

Re: Ashes 1st Test - Lords

It was a good ball and Langer was not even in the picture but Pieterson could not hit the stumps.

PC don’t worry am recording it for you :slight_smile:

Re: Ashes 1st Test - Lords

haha sweet.. thanks bro.

so I take it Pieterson is getting nervous, first iwth the runout and now the catch.

Re: Ashes 1st Test - Lords

Indeed it was, even though Hoggard is not consistant he’s been bowling no and on the leg but that just one ball was right on the target.

Re: Ashes 1st Test - Lords

Oh boy Ponting bleeding, Harmison has hit Hayden and Ponting on the helmet but Ponting got a blow and he's bleeding. He hit Langer on the elbow off the 3rd ball of the match.

Re: Ashes 1st Test - Lords

Ponting finally catched.

Re: Ashes 1st Test - Lords

Ponting gone Harmison deserves the wicket.

Australia 55/2

Re: Ashes 1st Test - Lords

Aus 66/3

Re: Ashes 1st Test - Lords
