Looks like it will awfully close now

stumpski · 08-07-2009, 10:51 AM

Yes, the new ball often accelerates the scoring rate doesn't it.

24 wanted from 39 balls.

Have to keep reminding myself that it's not a proper run chase. Was thinking, "They've done the hard work now, surely they'll do it from here?".

Not looking too good for us no voters, may lose the majority of players here.

GingerFurball · 08-07-2009, 10:56 AM

Damn you KP and Colly. Why couldn't you have just stayed in knocking the ball around?

stumpski · 08-07-2009, 11:00 AM

Worth going out to see the last half hour, not to mention Ponting's expression. Will all be for nowt if we lose a late wicket though.

GingerFurball · 08-07-2009, 11:17 AM

Damn you Broad you girl.

You were supposed to stonewall those 3 deliveries then let Jimmy do his thing.

BoyBrumby · 08-07-2009, 11:38 AM

Well there it is, stumps at the close of the opening stanza. If you recall, I asked:

Will 330 runs be scored on day one?

- The answer, of course, is a yes, with England's stout yeomen managing 336/7.

Fair to say this caught one or two of you off guard.

Fallers:

PF: No
JonnyB: No
four_or_six: No
PC: No
SKD: No
marcuss: No
chalky: No
pskov: No
JJ: No
stumps: No
grecian : No
Manee: No
fertang: No
GIMH: No
inbox: No
Shoggz: No
Burgey: No
Clapo: Nup
Noble One: No
marc: No
GingerFurball: No
CDM: No
zaremba: No
Pickup: No
Jakester: No
James_W: No
Pothas: No
HDS: No
Sanz: No
Simon: No
NUFAN: No
SoC: No
cpnend: No
Postmanpat: No
Somerset: No
Redbacks: No
BI: No

Standing:

Brumby: Yes
Adam: Yes
S Chanderpaul: Yes
Uppercut: Yes
candy: Yes
jondavluc: Yes
Steulen: Yes
pasag: Yes

So tomorrow's question for the eight of us who remain is this:

Will Jimmy Anderson's run tally reach double figures?

I'm going to stay positive and say yes again.

Steulen · 08-07-2009, 11:45 AM

No

GIMH · 08-07-2009, 01:03 PM

So Brumby, what happens when he reaches three figures?

S Chanderpaul · 08-07-2009, 01:11 PM

Yes

pskov · 08-07-2009, 05:05 PM

Thought a no was a dead cert considering everyone was forecasting a bit of rain during the day. Stupid weathermen.

NUFAN · 08-07-2009, 05:14 PM

Reckon the umpires were in on it calling two relatively marginal wides in the last few overs.

At tea I thought no was the right answer, Prior's innings and extras were the key.

ripper868 · 08-07-2009, 09:29 PM

Gah, would've loved to have seen this yesterday, brumbles, could you drop me a message in porfile when the next round kicks off, and if that happens to be the weekend, i'll go along with whatever your answer is...then again, if it's the weekend the test will be over by the next time i get on...
