I thought this was another of your wind ups, as in the football thread transfer stories, but no it is true.

Well he is a pretty good bowler, would rather he was bowling, if we were to gain the upper hand...no doubt Ponting would claim it was due to his absence...I would rather he were in it comes down to skills doesn't really if the guys had that sparkle of determination that Pieterson and Harmison have we would win! Here we go! |

You keep forgetting Freddie, I know his batting has suffered, but for sheer guts, aggression and determination his bowling is on a par with any player on either side.

Re: Cricket
Yes, we musn't get tooooo excited! A good start, Channel 4 commentators were describing this Merlin gadget and how it replicates Shane Warne's little specialities, and it did look as if the guys had been practising on this Merlin bowling machine. Just goes to show a little effort goes a long way.
Disappointing Strauss lost his chance for 50, as for Freddie yes let's wait and see.

Re: Cricket
I'm a little amused by the headline on the Channel 4 sport news web site:
Ashes: Australia reveal terror attack fears
At first I thought our bowlers had been working up some specialities at practice but no it's about any more bombings! Jason G. thinks the team will want to go home if there are anymore bombings. I thought these Aussies were supposed to be tough guys!

Maybe Dizzy is hoping it will detract from his poor form.

Re: Cricket
It's down to Kevin Pieterson again, if only we could have a team of Pietersons.
Still the team has played well today.
Oh dear spoke too sooooon.

Re: Cricket
The first innings is almost over 348 for 8, at least the score is a bit more respectable than the previous test.
I would have like to have seen England in over night (which still might happen) rather than being bowled out on the first day.
The milestone of 400 would be nice for that psychological effect 
It would also give the bowlers something to go at. |

Re: Cricket
407 not bad, good start. let's hope the English bowlers can smash those Aussie wickets quickly and wipe the cocky smile off Ponting's mush!
