Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

Collingwood's hundred was the first by an Englishman in an Ashes test in Australia since 1911

Any expert on sopcasts here?

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

Maybe Inzi and Yousaf do,nt have good records in AUS because they have never played a single test match at adelaide.
Last time Pakistan played a test match there was in 1990.
In last 3 test matches on this ground even Pakistan has scores of 387/9 ,624 and 466.All of them were drawn games.
Brain lara at Adelaide has 610 runs at 76.25 but at other Aus grounds has 859 at 31.81 in 27 innings with crossing 50 only 4 times despite having a single score of 277 at sydney.
Similarly Dravid has 346 at 115.33 here but at other Australian grounds he has only 389 at 38.90.
Outside adelaide their records are not much different from Inzi and yousaf.
Maybe this is the main reason.

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

hey guys do u know which channel on sopcast has the stream?

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

61.3Flintoff to Ponting, 1 run, push forward into cover brings up his 33rd Test hundred, Australia's leading hundred-maker for the country, going past Steve Waugh (32). That hundred came up in 183 balls and England will rue dropping him on 35.

Yousuf's centuries record under threat
This was Ponting's 7th hundred in his 8th test of the year. He has potentially one more innings in this match and two more tests after this to break Yousuf's record.

Ponting 101* has also taken his aggregate to 1159 runs for the year.

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

In his current form its seems tht he will go more than Yousuf wht he achived this year now its become a habit of ponting to start his inning with 100s

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

hussey gone :smack:

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

Lets see if Gilchrist will score a quick fire 50 or will go back soon

5-287, 8 more overs to go

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

Ponting 142 has now scored 1200 runs this year. He has a max. of 5 more innings this year. Even given his remarkable form it's unlikely that he will go past Yousuf's 1788 but the centuries record (9) is very much under threat.

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

Now that should be shown to Fair_&_Balance, aap ne to parda utha diya raaz pe se :k:

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match
