Intimidating bouncer.

[Spikey]

howardj never confirmed if the weather was set fine

How many balls did it take MJ to strike in the 2013/14 Ashes?

 

[OverratedSanity]

That fifth ball pitched halfway down the track at 91 mph and barely came up to waist height. What a ****house pitch.

Wasn't till his second spell.

Intimidating bouncer.

So the pitch isn't quite as slow as last time here, or simply down to Johnson's pace?

 

[ajdude]

Is Ukraine the name of the language?

name of the country, never actually looked into the language much but yeah apparently it is ukrainian https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_language

 

[Cabinet96]

Ponting and Atherton!

I'm sure they'd have known what pitches they'd be getting. Everyone else did. Yes its ****house but they should be able to adjust to it.

Yet Ballance still stands on top of his stumps. Aussies not punishing him for that enough. Too short.

 

[adub]

Leg slip Clarkeh!

 

[Spikey]

Ponting and Atherton!

I didn't watch the last time here so I don't have a point of reference. I think this is the first time I've seen a match at Cardiff.

Only been watching cricket since 2010. It's made it up as my #2 sport though (behind ice hockey).

 

[Spikey]

take down that ****ing flag from in front of the dressing room

 

[Primrose_D12]

Leg slip Clarkeh!

Bodyline time

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Not many pitches worldwide have pace in these days and after the last ashes we are hardly going to prepare quick decks are we.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Punters hair. That dye job.
