Admin Ian M Posted November 21, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Told ya - hahaha - 4 for Broad, shut the crowd right up. Go on my son! You can't help thinking the Aussies might reflect on today and realise they picked on the wrong guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Fair play to Broad just ramming those pathetic taunts down the Aussie's throats. Hopefully they keep doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Can't help but feel we let them off the hook a little bit. They're going to make 300, but at one stage it looked like 200. It's a funny thing is momentum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to make 300, but at one stage it looked like 200. It's a funny thing is momentum... Yeah, definately feels like that. But guess if we can bowl them out within the first hour tonight, then as long as we get infront of their score it will look better in 24 hours time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But guess if we can bowl them out within the first hour tonight, then as long as we get infront of their score it will look better in 24 hours time It would indeed. Alec Stewart was saying in an article that 400 is minimum at the GABBA, so that looks pretty good. And i suppose if you'd offered us 270-8 we'd have taken it. So not too shabby really.

Dolman Block B Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Good day for the lads, they would have taken that at the start of play. 2 quick wickets then bat all day with minimal loss of wickets. Big score, declare, get the prisoners in and beat the hell out of them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 It's always difficult to judge a score until both teams have batted but it really does look a 400 minimum wicket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Agree with those who say the Aussies look well under par. If even a few English batsmen bat properly I can't see any reason why England can't establish a healthy first innings lead. Fair play to Haddin and Johnson for digging out those scores. Pitch looks a road but must be difficult when you top and middle order have folded so pathetically. England have a tendency for starting slowly in recent series' and the batting in the summer was poor, but we never got a pitch like this. Think the Aussies have to win too. They're up against it anyway, but failing to beat England at their fortress would be a crushing blow from which there may be no return. I know it's one innings but Clarke looks shot when it comes to dealing with the short stuff. I hope that it's more to do with confidence after the summer than his back, but sadly I suspect not.

GodEmperor Palpatine Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Just saw this on the England's Barmy Army Page on Facebook... 'The Courier Mail just is not learning, today they have no pictures or comment about Stuart Broad and instead say "the player, who thrives on the notoriety of openly cheating." Lets hope they keep up this pathetic campaign as clearly it is helping him play better. Sunny here this morning so should be a batting paradise once our batsmen have negotiated the new ball and we get the last 2 convicts out.' Can only agree, be great to see Broad get the final 2 wickets in the first session and really stick it to the natives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit like when a referee does not award a goal even though everyone saw it cross the line. Does the defending team ever say "hang on a minute ref, that was a goal" or do they just carry on at the behest of the people officiating the game?

I think the point I was making regarding the Courier Mail is that its seems petty and hypocritical of them to be slating Broad for 'cheating' when their own are well renowned for not walking when they should. Its good that Broad is using all this negative press/abuse/booing towards him to a positive effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Clarke being exposed yet again. He's a fantastic batsman but it does seem England have his number now... Here's hoping that the dominance is here to stay for quite some time Judging by our bowling attack it may just be with the likes of Finn and Rankin on the fringe, batting looks potentially strong and it'll be interesting to see how Carberry gets on, just hope Mitchell Johnson isn't going to have one of his 'better spells'... he is a dangerous bowler when on song.

Glenn McGrath being the prime example, some of the responses by opposing batsmen towards him were classic. But Glenn McGrath had the mental fortitude to continue picking up wickets, even if he didn't like the replies. Think back to the last tour down under. Mitch absolutely capitulated under the treatment dished to him by the Barmy Army. The clearest example of a team having the fans as their 12th man! I remember in particular the fairly unimaginative but highly effective "He bowls to the left, he bowls to the right, that Mitchell Johnson, his bowling is shite!" I'd love to see his first deliveries given the traditional goalkeeper treatment "wooooooooooooooh, you're shit, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't cheat because he wasn't given out by the umpire. Surely in order to cheat you have to break a rule or law? At best (worst?) he acted immorally, but I think it's a bit rich that a team who's last captain (Ponting) would regularly boast about never walking its a touch hypocritical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
