Haha

I love their discussions on Channel 9. First off having 3 commentators, and they always got something sweet to say. I dont think their ever quiet?

Re: The Ashes - Australia vs England - 3rd Test @ Perth, Dec 14-18

Aus 3-272, lead by 301 :dhimpak:

Re: The Ashes - Australia vs England - 3rd Test @ Perth, Dec 14-18

Ponting (7 hundreds and 1326 runs in 9 tests) clearly can't break Yousuf's record of centuries (9) or runs (1788) in a calendar year now

gilchrist in full form 2 sixes in a row to monty

Re: The Ashes - Australia vs England - 3rd Test @ Perth, Dec 14-18

24 in monty's over 3 sixes and a 4 from gilly

Re: The Ashes - Australia vs England - 3rd Test @ Perth, Dec 14-18

Yeah Gilchrist really rubbing it in and looking good for a hundred

Re: The Ashes - Australia vs England - 3rd Test @ Perth, Dec 14-18

gilly 89 in 49 ballss...none of the fielders inside the circle...still managing to score 2 successive 4's unbelievable

Re: The Ashes - Australia vs England - 3rd Test @ Perth, Dec 14-18

gilly needs to score 4 runs in 2 balls in order to break viv richards record of fastest hundred

Re: The Ashes - Australia vs England - 3rd Test @ Perth, Dec 14-18

unable to break the record 98 runs in 58 balls

Re: The Ashes - Australia vs England - 3rd Test @ Perth, Dec 14-18

Damn CBN made me miss the genocide.

Re: The Ashes - Australia vs England - 3rd Test @ Perth, Dec 14-18

Gilchrist innings is an absolute blinder and a very d@mning evidence of how clueless England captain is.

Re: The Ashes - Australia vs England - 3rd Test @ Perth, Dec 14-18

still completes hundred off 57 balls, the second fastest in test history after IVA Richards (56 balls v England in Antigua 1986)

Re: The Ashes - Australia vs England - 3rd Test @ Perth, Dec 14-18

watch England score over 500 in the next two days and win the game. :D

Re: The Ashes - Australia vs England - 3rd Test @ Perth, Dec 14-18

^ :hehe: you probably saw Flintoff dreaming

Re: The Ashes - Australia vs England - 3rd Test @ Perth, Dec 14-18

England finish the day at 265/5.

Cook made a superb 116.

Australia struck back with two late wickets.

England needs 292 to win with Peterson and Flintoff batting, Aus need 5 wickets. It all hinges on Peterson. England will make history tomorrow either by losing the Ashes or an unlikely victory.

Re: The Ashes - Australia vs England - 3rd Test @ Perth, Dec 14-18

^ England lost cook in third last over that really tilted the balance in aussie favour otherwise they could have hoped for a draw tomorrow the way cook was playing.

Re: The Ashes - Australia vs England - 3rd Test @ Perth, Dec 14-18

England has a long tail which does not help at all in situations like this.
In the absence of Trescothick/Vaughan and the fact that Flintoff is not firing at all with the bat, England needs to somehow squeeze one other specialist batsman or an all-rounder in the line-up.

But its too late..I guess.

Re: The Ashes - Australia vs England - 3rd Test @ Perth, Dec 14-18

I don't see Flintoff or Eng tail lasting for long, I see yet another Aussie victory.
