England vs. Australia, 21st Sept

[Son Of Coco]

what are the chances that we could get it to 100 pages by the end of the game?

 

[Son Of Coco]

Sorry Coco, this time I'm on Richard's side, whilst usually I agree that when Gilchrist hammers it out of the middle of his bat, it really can't go down to 'luck', it is more 'lucky' if the player catches it! However, this time it didn't come off the middle, it was off the edge, and Gilly wasn't reall going after it. It was a regulation slips catch, rocket or not, and IMO should have been taken.

Fair enough, but I was referring more to the fact that it will only strengthen the resolve that Gilchrist is one of the luckiest batsmen around (along with the other two) when apparently luck can get you a decent average and a great number of wickets over quite a few years (well, in McGrath's case anyway).

I'd say not likely. Remember its late evening in Australia Coco.

Haha, can I call you that?!

haha, yeah that's fine.

Well, if you guys haven't got the ticker to go on with it into the early hours of the morning in the hunt for a record then I guess I'll have to take the burden on my shoulders and press ahead alone.

Gough being entirely useless so far

I'm glad to see that the ground is nearly empty.

40 quid for a ticket? They got the gate they deserved.

But I possibly shouldn't have brought that up here! It'll only kick off the whole argument again, and there's a game going on!

I'm glad they brought Gough back on.....

Ah. Smug mode.

 

[Eclipse]

Personaly I think Gilly intimidates feilding teams..

HaHa. Speak too soon. Gilly Caught trying to cut a ball that almost hit him on the backside. Trescothick this time takes the catch.

At least Gilchrist's 2nd chance average won't be inflated.

 

[Son Of Coco]

I take back everything I said - especially when I discovered that it was Richard I ended up defending

hahaha, just have a little lay down and it'll stop the head from spinning. I can understand your anguish!

And the 'Captain Obvious' award goes to...

 

[Scaly piscine]

Ah. Smug mode.

Always good to tempt fate to get Gough & Trescothick to do something

 

[Son Of Coco]

HaHa. Speak too soon. Gilly Caught trying to cut a ball that almost hit him on the backside. Trescothick this time takes the catch.

Dammit, had a feeling I might have jinxed us..

 

[Hoggy31]

Got Martyn in now and Symonds in next, our two in form batsmen

 

[Linda]

Now the game really begins. The shining star of the Aussie team.

There's been a few 'You did, Oscar - you did' statements this morning. Keep it up, guys.

Anyone want to praise Ponting or Martyn in the next few minutes? (he said, trying carefully not to un-hex the hexing)

haha, Linda! I had a feeling we might hear from you again soon. So who's your favourite player then?

 

[luckyeddie]

King of Spain into the attack.

King of Spain into the attack.

I was going to say early, but right on the 15 over mark - well done.
