Hoggard c Gilchrist b Clark 0

 

[R_D]

Clark takes another wicket... Surely Aus is going to enforce the follow on.

 

[silentstriker]

The more I watch guys like Clark and McGrath the more I become convinced that out and out pace is overrated.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

5 for Pidge!

 

[silentstriker]

And a five-fer for McGrath.

 

[Somerset]

Five for McGrath..

Goes to show yet again that line and length IS in fact more important than pace silentstriker.

 

[Matt79]

5-fer for McGrath - great comeback! What a champ.

Never doubted him for a minute myself

 

[silentstriker]

Anyone who left him out of the 'no loyalty XI' should be made to have an avatar saying: SS IS RIGHT, MCGRATH THE BEST EVER .

McGrath has bowled 23 overs. Shows how ludicrous the idea that England players are "overbowled" is.

 

[Somerset]

I actually think James Anderson looks a better and more competent batsmen than both Hoggard and Harmison, however don't expect it'll be too long before Aussie wrap proceedings up. They will surely enforce the follow on now, if England have a bowl then personally I think a quick wicket or two will increase confidence for the tourists; Australia have to keep the bowling pressure on and strike while the iron is hot.

McGrath = legend

 

[silentstriker]

McGrath = legend

Yea, he's been one for the last 15 years, thats whats so ridiculous.

McGrath = the best bowler ever to don the whites.

 

[AussieDominance]

Mmm in the way you mention it I would say I agree.

McGrath = Best player to ever don the whites

 

[Somerset]

McGrath has bowled 23 overs. Shows how ludicrous the idea that England players are "overbowled" is.

Has bowled 23 overs and is no doubt keen for more too! I think fitness levels play a part in that, Flintoff looked dead on his feet after 30 over two days while as I say, McGrath will most certainly want to continue with the ball in hand.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

McGrath gets six!

 

[Somerset]

All over. Aussie will no doubt enforce follow on now.

Well done G.McGrath. Fantastic bowling effort, just brilliant.

 

[silentstriker]

Wicket #6 for Glenn McGrath.

Jesus Christ. I am going to build an altar of McGrath. I'm dead serious. I am so going to start a cult around this guy.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Aussies to bat again from the looks of it.

 

[Somerset]

Aussies to bat again from the looks of it.

Hmmm....interesting. Wonder if Ponting is just playing mind games...

 

[AussieDominance]

mmm not sure why? if correct
