*Official* Fifth Test at the SCG

[Mister Wright]

Oh no. Our in form batsman is out.

 

[Furball]

Siddle GTFO.

Jimmeh for a 5fer please.

 

[Jacknife]

Jimmy's on fire, good cherry to be fair to siddle.

 

[MW1304]

This guy can swing his wood around a bit. Hope he doesn't have too much fun out there today.

And he doesn't get to. Get in.

 

[vicleggie]

if smith is "the future of australian cricket" then we are royally ****Ed

lol ando again.
230???

 

[Themer]

This is hilarious. Jimmy with a new ball is excellent but there's nothing better than Australia swiping at wide balls.

And another!

 

[Woodster]

Another good nut from Jimmy. Can't fault Siddle, he's not going to learn much from watching the top order bat.

 

[Athlai]

Give Tremlett more wickets plz

 

[King Pietersen]

Siddle gone as well, another for Jimmeh. Bowled very well this morning after not being at his best yesterday. Hopefully this'll be all over before lunch, I can sleep and wake up to see us 200-0 at the end of the days play.

St Jimmy of Awesome

 

[vicleggie]

up till now-
anderson or cook for man of the series?

 

[MW1304]

Tbf you don't expect Siddle to be an expert leaver, and you don't expect him to be facing the second new ball either..

 

[Mister Wright]

If only Hilfenhaus' battting average for this series was as high as his bowling average.

 

[Woodster]

makes the blood boil, brother.
day 2 in sydney, why play those shots?!
no graft or figth whatsoever
************************************** off smith u moron, get some more runs in FC cricket u little *****

Must be frustrating but if these guys are being told to play their natural games, and for most of them it's to play their shots, then I suppose it's inevitable if you try and do so against the new ball or if it's swinging and seaming around much. More common sense required, or if they can't apply themselves to the situation, then perhaps less flashier options are around in Sheffield Shield, batsmen that are willing to scrap for their runs without necessarily looking good.

 

[Spark]

This pitch is rather lively.

 

[hazsa19]

Trott

 

[Jacknife]

It's not going to be easy at all for the England batsmen, when they get there chance.

 

[zaremba]

Ouch, that was a brute from Tremlett. Hilf didn't seem interested in getting too far into line behind the next one.

 

[Mister Wright]

More of that please Mitchell.

 

[Athlai]

It'd be even harder for the English batsman if Jimmy, Tremlett and Bresnan were bowling at them.
