all australian quicks >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> harmy

 

[Sean]

I saw Flintoff do about six of them in that last test.

 

[tuftman]

On his day Harmison is arguably the best quick on the planet. If its not his day though, he's amongst the worst. Doesnt move the ball sideways, just bowls quick and has incredible bounce. Hughes will be hoping he pitches a few up, cos it'll be sent to the pickets

 

[kanewillow]

second test tonight lads will  be awesome

 

[adz]

send a few bouncers Ponting's way and I'm sure they will be dispatched appropriately

and at the home of cricket - a very special game

we haven't lost there since the 40s

I'm sort of hoping that England win the toss.... and MJ ripping into the top dis-order  ... if not, would be nice to see Ricky heaving a few over the fence. Got the munchies, drinks and pillows lined up,  just looking forward to seeing some good, exciting cricket.

 

[Jazzie]

Hughes has reportedly started crying again and will now only sleep with the lights on........

Harmy is gonna get you.......

LOL ...... we shall see ... I think Harmy is all blether

1934 isn't it?

Everyone is talking about Hughes being uncomfortable against the short ball, but no-ones mentioned that Bopara and Strauss where shitting razorblades in the first innings whenever the ball was dug in short

Edit- Beat me to it Mariners4eva RE:1934

 

[Jazzie]

Ricky lost the toss, Aussies to field .... c'mon MJ, rip through 'em

Yes let's see MJ bowl some more

Worst I've seen Australia bowl in a LONG time

 

[Jazzie]

Yep,.... gonna be a long night  .......

 

[Jazzie]

Nerves maybe? MJ's action was pretty bad in Cardiff ... worse here  I think, unfortunately there is no where to hide when you are out in the middle.

 

[Jazzie]

Nathan Hauritz just broke his finger .......... waaaaaaaaaaaaa ......  :'(

 

[tuftman]

He's trying to force things to happen, and is losing his rhythm. Every pace bowler does it at some point, from national level to grade cricket.

 

[marinersman]

Very poor bowling so far but the good news is it's a belter for batting on. Rain forecast for most of tomorrow apparently. Get your money on a draw.

I'm heading over to the UK on the 28th and jusy found out about an hour ago a client of mine has got a tickets to the Sunday of the Edgbaston test, happy days. The Footballeroos shirt is the first item packed. 100 farking quid for the ticket. Thieving bastards. I told him you could buy the entire England squad for that money.

 

[tuftman]

Yeah ive got a mate going over for the Edgebaston test as well, I'm soooooooooooooo jealous of him. Gonna need wickets or we could really be looking at chasing 550+ here

 

[adz]

ball started swinging around a bit late in the day and if there's rain around it will keep doing its thing ... so that's not good for us. We could get knocked over pretty cheaply here but of course have to see us bat for an hour or so before making too many predictions :-\

 

[Sacko]

I nodded off around 11.30 and switched off when I woke up when Strauss was closing in on his ton. The wickets towards the end of the session could make this a very tight game, looking forward to watching it tonight with the footy team!
