DOOM FOR THE AUSSIES

More doom for the Aussies as Watson falls. 4 wickets now down for 45 runs in the 17th over. A dismall and very lacklustre showing from the Aussies.

The Poms are all over them and I'm wondering if this is going to last 5 days!

The only way I see it lasting is if the Poms rack up another 600 run plus innings to rub salt into the wounds.

Second over after lunch and I am afraid its more doom for the Aussies. They are really on the ropes now!

What must Ponting be thinking? How long is the queue at centrelink?

At the end of the 28th over they are now 5 wickets down for 69. I don't know if that is England's lucky number, but sure is my fave!

So, everything resting on the broad shoulders of that Hussey character. Doom! Doom! Doom!

good.. ponting would have to be the worst captain eva.

71 / 5

Thsi won't even get to day 3

Let's not be too harsh on him. He has the unenviable record of being the most successful captain and having the worst success rate in the Ashes. Guess he is just scared of the poms. :)

Course it will. The Poms will bat for a day and a half just to make the Aussie look even more ridiculous. Probably post a score something like 650 for 2 or such like.

Just to see how quickly they fell.
Fall of wickets1-2 (Hughes, 1.6 ov), 2-17 (Ponting, 4.5 ov), 3-28 (Clarke, 7.6 ov), 4-36 (Watson, 16.1 ov), 5-69 (Smith, 27.3 ov)

Fine with me - gives me something to watch and enjoy on Saturday

On a positive note, it is encouraging to see that each proceding batsman has stayed longer at the crease before commiting hari kari!

False alert. I just checked my maths and it seems I lied.
Sorry!

Now, I'm gonna make a wild stab in the dark here. You're not Japanese are you?

Damn - I am so transparent

Well, I did have to look behind that straight black hair and those almond eyes, but I am a shrewd judge of character. :)


Am I Brazilian?

And so the 100 comes up for the Aussies with a fine four from that Hussey. But can he and Haddin drag the Aussies out of the massive hole they're in?

Unlikely, but... criccket is a funny game. They certainly got their shit together in the first match. Maybe, and this is a big maybe, they can do it again.

But, bear in mind that the pitch should settle down a bit now and make batter easier. Especially for the team batting second. Biased? You have got to be joking!
Never!

Aussies will win this test.. Bookmark it.

That's what I love to see. Blind optimism in the face of enormous odds! That's why I love you Aussies. And the fact that you are so magnanamous in defeat!

Not many comments-just goes to show,we all know how corrupt the game is now and don't give a fuck (or our money).

Ah, my cynical fosters swilling friend (or is it VB or tooheys?), let us not judge the quantity of comments on whether or not it's rigged, but on the fact that many on this board are Americans and wouldn't know their arse from their head when it comes to cricket.

This isn't Pakistan or India or Kenya or South Africa you know. The fight between these two is clean. Surely????

I will not have it any other way?

Fingers in my ears, la la la la la.

On a brighter note:

That Hussey has brought up a rear guard knock with a stirling 50 (note the word stirling.. pounds, silver etc, very British)


Is sport really that important? Fuck no!

Try telling that to the millions of Brazilian football fans where their teams are given godlike status. Come one!

Depends... shave much... umm... down there? ;p

As an added note of merit for you Aussies, That Hussey has made a 50 in every innings of this series so far. At least one of you is worth of note.

Fuck the shaving! Give me the wax!

Actually, that's not true. I hate waxing and shaving! My pubes have grown so huge they are often mistaken for my chest hair as they protrude from my neckline of my shirt!

Hussey gone.. 6 out.. Johnson to score a massive hundred..

Fuck! I was too busy wanking around on here and missed that!
Interesting thing, this review system! Has certainly changed the game. In the old days he would have been not out!

I don't generally say this, but LOL, love your optimism!

WTF? Are you guys mental? Hussey called for the review? After being given not out???

Hey, he is a tard!

As soon as we can peel Warney from Hurley and bribe him enough, she'll be right mate.

Haddin on the bash.. He needs a quick 100..

Sorry buddy, Warne was a legend, but...
But he is now too old and too fat to come back. What a ball to Gatting, though. He doesn't know what has happened, he still doesn't know to this day!

But you're right, she'll be right. Everything will be apples.
BTW, I lived in Oz for hundreds of years! So I know the lingo!

Another expat in Brazil?
Popular destination :)

Ah, exile, you should be sceptical of Brazilians
