That was some collapse today. Very good bowling performance from the Aussies, it'll be hard to see them losing the match from here.zeb wrote:They did the first (barely) but I think they're still looking under the couch for their 500+.Evvo wrote:Great first day.

Re: Cricket
I'm cautiously optimistic. I hope that we bat the day out and see what happens from there.

I guess you don't need to bat the entire day if you're scoring at five runs an over.

Re: Cricket
I feel this will be wrapped up today. What an amazing turnaround. Good to see some intense displays from Australia and credit to Broad and Cook. They have shown some fight.

Re: Cricket
Wow that was awesome and entertaining, Clarke was unlucky to have the mike on at that exact time, I am sure Anderson had a bit to say during the game as well. 1-0 only though, still not close to being over yet.

johnson was amazing. i've always been a fan of his and i'm glad he silenced all the naysayers in this game.

Re: Cricket
That was some intense cricket. Sets this series up nicely. Adelaide is the best chance for Eng to claw back. It could be all over by Perth.
But I expect Swann to play a huge part in Adelaide plus one of the eng batsmen will get a huge score. My guess is a draw in Adelaide then an Aussie win in Perth.

Re: Cricket
Channel 9 should pay that, he got fined by the ICC (the indian board) because the mike was turned up then, ridiculous is right. Umpires and match referee did not charge Clarke.WtOB? wrote:absurd that clarke got charged.

Re: Cricket
I think it's fantastic that they keep dropping catches. That will do wonders for their confidence as fielding unit.
Now if we can make them bowl for another two sessions tomorrow, we'll be in the driver's seat.
