Pain elemental, and yes it’s a nuisance. Hiding behind a wall and peek-a-boo shooting twice or thrice with a SSG is your best strat.
Nah not surprised at all, I knew good ol’ England could do it ;)
I was actually convinced at stumps on day 4 that Aus were going to win, but Eng managed to pull through in the end. Also glad this series is done, having an emotional connection to one of the teams playing in a Test series is fun, but gets quite stressful.
However, I’m with Ponting that the ball change was poor and should be investigated. Shame one bad decision made such an impact on the game.
Seems fair enough except for the finishing on a high wrt this test I suspect, but maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Was there another reason he gave beyond wanting to be with his family? Didn’t really see anything else in the Cricinfo article.
Looks like a minimum of 3 hours play today (possibility of rain from 3) and probably whole day’s play tomorrow. Looks like the weather won’t be ruining another Test.
What a damn, damn shame
One day in, and with the way Australia have been carrying on I don’t think an English win is likely. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the same scores from the last test, just with the teams swapped.
Effing Mancunian weather
If it’s the weather that stops us from winning from here, I might cry
Has anyone here read the Katz translation? How does it compare to the other two?
