Not sure I agree. They've given plenty of quarter/half opportunities with some poor shot selection. They've ridden their luck and come through well in tough conditions, but I would say that's not how to play in these conditions. A bit more circumspection would be in order, because right now, I'd reckon the Aussies feel as if a wicket isn't far away.

No, you just being a ****wit making ridiculous assertions that players' records count for nothing. The existence of a thing called "cricket chat" likely suggests you're wrong.

Corrected for Facts.

Denuto = Burgey?

I'll repeat, he's doing a good job of proving me wrong. His performances 4 years ago were the perfect indicator to this series

I meant you can't use us having the better conditions as an excuse, tosspot.

I like the snow FTR, it's ice that annoys me

I'm posting on my phone, google 'Comical Ali' you lazy bastard.

Can someone fill me in as to what the **** happened yesterday? Siddle's burst aside, it's been a pretty dull morning, nothing threatening at all from the bowlers and a pretty placid looking pitch. Was yesterday that much different or was it the usual when Australia have batted without Hussey making the scorecard respectable?

Yes. I'm expecting Nathan Hauritz to tour India in four years time and take 45 wickets in three tests, because, well, what's gone before, she counts for nowt.

Basically, we won the toss and bowled, got a bit of cloud cover, owned them (they were lucky to get past 50 tbh) then there was a bit of rain, it cleared,they bowled their usual filth, we owned them again.

(For Furball)

Nine times out of ten you simply have to have a bit of luck to survive against good bowling on a decent pitch.

Trott doesn't look like throwing his wicket away. KP reigned himself in beautifully. We can't expect him to change his technique. Batting in Australia especially is about getting through the tough periods and prospering when things get a bit easier. if the sun comes out I would back KP to make a big one.

Yesterday plenty of the Australians had their fair share of luck. But we created so many opportunities that they simply nicked one a couple of overs later.

Yeah, assuming Hauritz performs well above his career average between now and then and it suddenly comes out Hauritz had a deformed index finger during that series.
Apples and apples Burgey.

Fairly accurate summary tbh.

Not a bad interview with Cook on the tele at lunch here.

Loving these highlights of the 06-07 ODI finals.

Not because we won per se, as in normal circumstances it would have been hollow after the Tests. However, as some of you are aware, the day we beat NZ to get in the final, my twin daughters were born. The first night they were home, we won the first final (which is now being shown) and I remember watching it whilst doing about 12 night feeds that night. And the second, I remember making bottles as I watched.

Might mean nothing in the grand scheme of things but will always be a really special series for me.

These match threads are atrocious. English people, how about being less completely inflammatory ****s? Australians, grow the **** up and accept that we are losing with some form of grace. Uppercut and Furball, reserve your smack for when your countries actually play cricket.

Honestly, the worst threads I've read on this forum since Borcich was a regular.

You never know, it may have been the most important thing in the world.

Nice story though. That's what I love about cricket, there are so many moments where people will remember where they were, and you can have a long and ridiculously drawn out conversation about it

Wonder if Twatto does Lee Furlong doggy style.

Should have asked them when I saw them at Sydney airport on Wednesday
