CC 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2005 Anyone going to watch this over the summer? Strange first innings from both; Australia only managed 190 but then England faltered and got 155. Australia are on 279 for 7 at the end of day two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He does score pretty quickly as well. Besides batting is he a good feilder? a part -time bowler? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JayStorm 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2005 I'm not the world's biggest fan of Cricket but the match today was pretty good, I watched a few of the highlights, although Australia seem to be kicking England's a##. JS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sato 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2005 Didn't Pieterseon drop a few catches, and miss a few run outs? Anyway, go the Aussies...put the poimmies in their place again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CC 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2005 So CC where would you put your money for this test match? Aussie's or on the English! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Aussie land. McGrath and Warne is more than a match for us at the moment and they have the pace through the batting order. And I have just seen further coverage if yesterday and yes Pieterseon dropped a hell of a lot of catches, the first one was forgivable but the latter two he should have and could have caught both. But overall he has done well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2005 I was expecting England to get to a decent total in their second innings. I am impressed with Pietersen 57 and 64 not out. Perhaps he should come out a little earlier so that he doesn't run out of partners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Max Mosley 2 Report post Posted July 25, 2005 We lost yesterday I'm afraid, even despite some rain! I almost want Australia to win - cricket is so boring imo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted July 25, 2005 Pietersen was good with the bat, but his fielding wasn't so hot. Nerves on his debut perhaps, but I still think that Graham Thorpe would not have dropped those catches and still got the runs - the team will miss his experience. If England can play at their best then they are a match for the Aussies, but I don't really mind who wins the series as long as it's a close contest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahh well! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought so too, maybe we're just so far behind that we can't win. I don't know, either way, Australia played much better than England on the whole. JS.

CC 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2005 Too be fair England is a much better than side than a few years ago. Some inspired bowling by McGrath and Warne, Lee though was just as arrogant as ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raikkonen_rulez 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2005 One thing that amazes me is that Ricky Ponting chews on a gum when he's fielding (not sure bout batting, always when I watch he's out already) I'm surprised he doesn't choke on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
