Ashes 2006 / 2007

[Red Chilli]

OK I've seen 6 overs.

27/0 not a good start.

Verdict so far:

Very ODD field placings by Flintoff Which idiot designed these field placings for Langer?

I'd have opened with Harmisson and I'd get him on quickly for Flintoff.

Nothing much will happen in this session in my opinion except the aussies will score some runs on this pitch with this outfield.

We'll probably get some wickets in the afternoon session, I expect Mahmood and Harmisson to be the main strike bowlers.

Can't keep awake to watch any more of this I'm afraid

[Red_Polo]

54/2 aint half bad though mate

You still awake and watching?

[Milan_Milan]

Go on Monty son!!! 69-3 at lunch is a top effort from our boys!

[spud_gun]

199-6. Great morning's cricket from England.

Brilliant way to start the first tes.....oh wait...

[spud_gun]

That fella Warne. He's not too shabby with a bat. Is he?

Nope he's actually somthing of the all-rounder. Can take a few wickets and can bat a bit.

Scrub that. He's ****. Edge from Monty 214-7

One thing though this pitch is a monster. Warne is going to have a field day [i hope. Don't see this test match lasting more than 3 - 3 1/2 days.

[Beachy]

Panesar just showing why he should have been picked from the beginning. He's bowled very well.

[spud_gun]

That Panesar fella is on fire. 5 wickets now.

Good thing that England started him in the first test and not that bloody awful Gile......oh wait......

[Beachy]

No way we'd be 2-0 up if he was in from the start.

Will be interesting to see how we respond with the ball

I'm hoping Warne rips them apart

[spud_gun]

244 all out.

Very good first innings from England.

Great way to start the first test. Harmisson and Panesar look bang on form.

Hi Duncan Fletcher

:whatever:

[SouthAfricaRed]

Great Bowling by England

Monty and Harmison did well. Now the batsmen need to cash in on this position

[Slim]

Fantastic bowling display and good to see Harmison getting back to something like his old self. Now its a test for the batsmen to see if they can establish a good first innings lead. Have they got over the disastrous second innings batting in Adelaide?
