By Will 2 years ago, at the end of November Leave a comment on this post
The third day from Brisbane. It ought not to be the last but stranger things have happened.
Chat away.

Hi Will, hi Wraye, hi Jess, hi Kathy . . . hi Elliot . . . hope you’re enjoying the new found freedom. I finally have a day off work to watch the match. So what’s happening then . . .?
oh, I see what’s happening.
Well, chins up boys and pull out the rain dances of the nineties. QLD could do with a good downpour, from what I hear!
Australia’s been suffering from a drought this season Caroline, rain might not come to their rescue from what I’ve heard.
Hi all, hi Zainy, where have you been? By a complete co-incidence, I have the flu and am off sick. I see KP gets a life. I’d really like Bell to get a big score.
Come on lets see Pietersen bat all day.
oh bums, MdGrath strikes again. Can’t someone roll another ball in front of his foot for goodness sake?
And there goes Superman (aka Freddie Flintoff), back to the pavilion for a duck. How much longer will England last?
Well I hope the rest of the Test series is a bit more equal than this (and I’m sure it will be) but right now, after 2005, I’m enjoying every second. England in a world of strife, and Warne has bowled just one over!!!
Woohoo!!
We are doomed! Ach, it’s only a warm up anyway 
I’m trying to remember this is only a game.
Wraye, I too have Simon Jones as Mr November, next to my computer. Simon Jones taking a wicket. A strange forgotten pastime.
Love to know what Jones (S), Trescothick and Vaughan are thinking right now…
Come on Jones and Bell, the little shorties…. let’s see what you’re made of.
Survived til lunch with a 4!
Met Mr. November this summer and wished I were 20 years younger!
At least, we are still hanging in there.
Their looking set now, I can see Bell getting 300 with able support from Jones with 150. I wish.
Oh no!
And then Ponting drops Giles!
When Mark Taylor was going on about Gilchrist as the most exciting wicketkeeper-batsman, I was shouting at the TV: “Out for a duck! Out for a duck!”
You have to take your small consolations as you find them.
Bell is making his career here.
Yes, Wraye, that Mr Jones is a fine piece of work… lovely bone structure.
wow…well like this is going down the drain a bit! wats going on with the english?? freddie can do better than that! and wats up with pietersen? dear me, they really need to up their play! better luck next innings hey? maybe they are just trying to make australia get up on a high horse, and than knock them off next test! Mcgrath is doing me proud tho!
Ponting doesn’t enforce follow-on! .. I smell Cricket Australia who would be the only group wanting the game to last longer than it should… and spare me from any comments about tired bowlers .. they weren’t in the field for a day!
what a mess!
Utter destruction.
Erhem … me thinks this is a strategic piece of English psychology as per Lords 2005 etc. Show the underbelly to the enemy to make them weak.
Next game, we will come roaring back, Vaughen and Thorpe will make centuries …
er, am I in the right decade?
Englands worst day yet! Woeful.
When the cracks in the pitch opened up and England caved in for 157, I thought maybe the toss had been the deciding factor (or a large part of it).
The supposed best seam attack going around, had the chance to go out and cause some damage to the Australian line up. Maybe limit the difference in this game to that one first innings and therefore luck of the toss.
They couldn’t. They were ineffectual. Surely some changes are coming. Drop Harmisson, Drop Giles. Cook looked frightened. Pietersen, well, well well. Plenty of work to do if there’s going to be a contest.
Harmy’s attitude has stunk.
He’s lucky Freddie is his ‘best mate’, because a lot of skippers I’ve played under would have taken him behind the pavilion and ripped him a new one for acting like a big girls blouse over the past couple of days.
He needs to stop whining about being homesick, remember he’s actually being paid good money to do something that thousands of us would do for nothing and start acting like a professional sportsman.
Very pleased for Bell.
A well deserved 50, and maybe that will inspire the lads a little bit.
Have Aussies declared again? Or is it not known if we’ll be batting tomorrow morning?
I wonder how much the skills of Kevin Shine as the new bowling coach instead of Troy Cooley has had over Harmison. The Guardian today says that Harmy saw Cooley as an older brother not a coach.
Here at Somerset we were glad to see the back of Shine, but really really upset he got the England job. This is the man who was trying to turn Marcus Trescothick into an opening bowler right up until the point he was picked as an opening bat for England.
Could it be a case of the Freddy Trumans? he ruined many a decent fast bowler (Grahame Dilly for one) by coaching them to bowl just like him.
