Bit of verbals, good to see they aren't scared of giving some plain verbals.

As long as it doesn't go any further of course.

yeah, family forum and all that..

Good to see Richy nailing a job at Cricinfo

8.2 Anderson to Martyn, FOUR, Ah. Super shot.

What the heck is GBH doing?

3 balls, 3 fours and he's overpitching on legstump.

BB bang on the money, 13 off the over.

Argh

Solid S/R from the Huss here.

Odds on the runs from Harmy's first over? I'm going 13 myself.

Good old-fashioned Pommie jib, all the more galling because we piddled away such a good position. It does show the virtue of having 4th & 5th seaming options who can take wickets, but then that's a no-brainer anyway! It's having the players to do it!

Right, I'm off to the pub to watch the Oz innings with a bevy or several. I'll be back to bemoan our inevitable defeat later....

Hahaha ncie pick.

Martyn's looking good today.

Harmison's ****.

Harmison's ****.

Second that.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Marto looking solid.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Hahahahaha far out, how **** is Harmison. This game was Englands for the taking then he came on.

 

[PY]

Oh dear, first 10 balls go for 24....

 

[Pratters]

I feel sorry for the English fans here. Harmison is a very bewildering player.

 

[pasag]

Brilliant stuff by Martyn

 

[R_D]

Thanks to Harmison.. the match just got boring.

 

[Slow Love™]

Martyn's played a few of those signature slashes in the air through gully region. A shot he really managed to put away during his great streak of form back in '04/05. He looks to be in impressive touch though - even the more defensive shots are going to the fence.

Harmy's really bowled some fodder, hasn't he? The game's fast running away from England now.

 

[Slow Love™]

They almost got Martyn with that shot again. Tough one, but I think Collingwood would take that one more often than not.

 

[PY]

Dropped! What the heck, Collingwood has dropped something. The world has gone mad....

 

[R_D]

Collingwood drops a catch... wasn't the easiest of the catches but he's caught more harder ones before.

They almost got Martyn with that shot again. Tough one, but I think Collingwood would take that one more often than not.

Happy Birthday btw
