Steadying a bit now

Had no fecking luck either...Langer's a slogger

and he's slogging us all over the park

Australia will be on something like 100000000000 not out when I wake up.
 
Freddie's the key but you need the others to help him out, isn't happening so far.

His enforced sabbatical should be a blessing.

long as he kept off the beers...

Did anyone hear Goughy on Five Live today?

"How do the players prepare for the match?"

"Well, there's yer old school lads and yer new school players. The new school ones are in their room the night before, all nervous, iPods, playstations... I was an old school type, there's a few of 'em left, Flintoff, Harmi, Hoggy. We generally relax the night before with two or three pints...Three or four pints...At least four pints."

:nervous:

That's a surprise, I would have thought it would have been out of bounds.
 
2/141

Freddy dismisses Langer.

Cracket it to point, the defector took the catch knee height moving to his left. Decent catch too.
 
Martyn is in... Thank god.

The only reason why I can bare to watch cricket anymore, class act he is.

Mark Waugh > Martyn > VVS Laxman >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rest.
 
282/3 at 5pm.

Ponting just got his century at a strike rate in the 70's. Not suprising since 60 of those runs were boundaries.

Was he a batsman?

He was offered a professional contract at Lancashire if memory serves me right...Atherton claimed he was a better prospect than himself whilst young.
