Re: England V Australia - First test match
I like the gora Cricinfo Commentators. They inject lot of humour in their comments....unlike the bland commentary usually done by their Desi counterparts.
Sample :
-Warne to Jones, 3 runs, nice shot, a touch too short from Warne allowing Jones to rock back and hammer it through the covers. "Hammer" is probably not the right word, but I haven't said it for a while, and it's a cracking word.
-A few clowns behind the bowlers arm are holding up play. Adam Gilchrist politely tells them to go forth and multiply.
-"God save the queen 'coz nothing's gonna save these England cricketers," squeaks the Boonie doll.
Re: England V Australia - First test match
Thunderstorms are forecast for tommorrow and if the game is drawn because of it Ponting will have it from the Aus media.
Re: England V Australia - First test match
I still cannot believe Ponting didnt enforce the follow on
nonetheless great fight shown by Pieterson and Collingwood. I hope it rains tomorrow and this match is drawn. That will set stage for another great ashes series.

Re: England V Australia - First test match
Peterson gone to the fourth ball of the morning.
England 299/6
Re: England V Australia - First test match
that was just bad luck he played extremely well!
Re: England V Australia - First test match
Australia to win before lunch. Yes both Pietersen and Collingwood batted well but it merely delayed the inevitable. The same happened during Pakistan's 0-3 drubbing in Australia in 2004, we played well in patches like Shoaib's two 5-fors and Yousuf and Butt's tons but to compete with a top side like Australia you have to do well for all 15 sessions.
Re: England V Australia - First test match
Good job Australia.... I want Aussies to kick Pommies butt really really hard. They ignored all the matches/series in between the two Ashes by saying 'oh we won last Ashes, we are preparing for next one', ash is their a$$ now!
Re: England V Australia - First test match
chalooo jee 9 down for 361. Warne gets slip catching practice for next game
Re: England V Australia - First test match
Australia won the first test by 277 runs.
1 down 4 to go. Everything looks good for a 5-0 spanking 
Re: England V Australia - First test match
i hope england can comeback, i hate the aussies, the 2nd innings batting showed that england can hang with them, but they have to sort out harmison, if not bring in mahmood!
