Just a few more now...
ENG v AUS First Test: Cardiff
- Thread starter GiggsysGirl
- Start date
I'm feeling vageuly hopeful again. C'mon lads you can save this!
Oh you've done it now you fool.
I just want to say that whatever happens, Collingwood has demonstrated more grit and calm this afternoon then the rest of the team combined in both innings.
You work by such small targets in a situation like this, one over at a time.
*breathes in through his teeth*
Jeez that was close from Broad there.

We will have to bat for another e hours,but keep plugging away and we could do it
If the Aussies get two more wickets then its officially game over. There is no way Panesar or Anderson can survive more than ten minutes.
There's only what, 40 more overs today?
That's around 240 balls. If we can overhaul their total by 30 or 40, that might do it as well.

Ahhh I could watch Siddle fall over allllll day.
feck
It's all on you now, Colly.
It's all on you now, Colly.
lol Hauritz gets another
Here we go, here we go, here we go.
HERE WE GO, HERE WE GO, HERE WE GOOOOO-OH.
HERE WE GO, HERE WE GO, HERE WE GOOOOO-OH.
I knew there was too much confidence brewing here.
Can you still get Wagonwheels to eat?
They were shit, in fairness.
They were shit, in fairness.
Go forth and multiply sir.
True but the Aussies just had a dead set middle stump LBW denied. So it evens out*
* except when it doesn't.
From cricinfo:
Swann hasn't been dismissed in Test cricket since December.

210 balls. 3 wickets. Ouch.
Siddle isn't a very friendly guy, is he?
With a ball in his hand... I wouldn't want to face him.
That last Siddle over was brilliant.
Come on England!!
Come on England!!
you've mozzed him now mate.
he fires up, that's for sure.
This is turning into a great match now.
Heh.
What's the forecast like for the day? I hope there's no rain. Would be fantastic to see the match play out without rain, whatever the result..
Katich is class.. can see him taking a wicket.
Is no one watching??
England are holding well.
Hauritz wasn't threatening at all.. new balll now, though. Looks like this is heading to a draw.

I bet they are all hiding behind their sofas.
I'm not hiding.
I'm scared, but I'm not hiding.

I'm not scared at all. I know England are going to get the draw.
Great shot by Swann

Jinxtabulous.
We need the runs. I don't think we can bat out the day.

So if we got twenty in front of them and declare with an over to go- giving Australia a second innings, would we win?
That'd be a risky strategy - a lot of no-ball run-outs and we might just pip them.
Would be a draw

fecking hell...game over. Panesar and Anderson should be easy meat for the Aussie bowlers.
Quick fire half century from Monty coming up...
Behind the sofa I go
No. If a team doesn't achieve a target without losing all 10 wickets, it's a draw.
And Swann's gone.
Going to be a hell of a finish. I was sitting thinking England were going to sneak a draw. Changes everything now!
