  • I think those speed guns are a load of crap. Somehow the white ball goes faster - I bowled 83-84mph in the Test match, and 93mph in the one-dayers. It's crazy. I hadn't bowled a ball for ten days.

    Australia v England, 4th Test, Melbourne, 3rd day

    By Will 2 years ago, at the end of December Leave a comment on this post

    The third day from Melbourne, and possibly the last. It’s all gone horribly Percy Sonn for England. But who knows? Two spectacular double hundreds from Flintoff and Pietersen, 600 runs in a day to give England a lead of 300ish. It could happen…but only if England have a peek at John Buchanan’s bowling plans…

    Chat away

    Morning all - as I type, Symonds nicked (or knicked if you’re reading the plans) to Read off Harmison.

    If only he did that shortly after lunch yesterday…….. :(

    Warne and McGrath - together now at the crease! Could be the last time ever. Probably the last time at the MCG. What are the odds of a big partnership here?

    Hmmm - I guess not. Ah well, a duck for one last time at the MCG.

    And Blowers says “he doesn’t bother the scorers”. How I hate that. Grrrrr!

    Okay, so I lied. I’m still here. Gonna regret this in the morning. When McGrath was out, once again he said the ultimate stupid thing, “didn’t bother the scorers”. Humpff!! Try scoring, dumbhead! Baa humbug.

    What a funny game, English crowd must be tired of going home unhappy lately!

    If only we had Boonie back, the Australian team would be a classic, check this funny stuff out: http://www.davidboonfacts.com

    Enjoy the games!!

    Poor old Flintoff!
    Speaking through gritted teeth at the presentation - making the required noises about regrouping for Sydney, about not wanting to be beaten 5-0.

    I thought it would be tough for England to retain the Ashes on Australian pitches - but not this hard!

    Gee, it’s great. :-)

    Could things have gone any better for Warne? Well done , champ!
