Title: shite Post by: Spud on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 13:37:54 At least the scores half decent to defend but no Jones now which isnt good news.
Title: shite Post by: DMR on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 13:39:37 why didn't they drop gough?
thicko vaughan strikes again :x Title: shite Post by: Spud on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 13:51:36 Quote from: "dave_m_russell" why didn't they drop gough? thicko vaughan strikes again :x Yes i agree with that, you can guarantee that Goughs going to get smashed all over the shop again which we cant afford to let happen. Jones is young, so why wasnt he inlcuded instead!?, well done Michael Vaughan. Title: shite Post by: Spud on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 14:01:51 Wha a fucking twat Lehmann is!, they just showed England beating the Aussies way back and it went back to the studio and Gower turned to Lehmann and said "Not many happy memories that day!?" "i think so cos didnt we win the series 3-1?" replied Lehmann "yes but this is a United Kingdom broadcast and we like to concentrate on the successes if we can!" :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: talk about piss on his Strawberrys.
Title: shite Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 14:07:32 That Melbourne 98 was a great great win. Fanastic. The BBC had the highlights at that time and were showing them at 6pm on BBC2. I went ballistic when Goughie got the final wicket. Managed to get back from college (all day) without hearing the score.
That show of passion, goughie with wicket in hand is something the Aussies will never beat us at. EN-GER-LAND! Title: shite Post by: Johno on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 15:01:11 well its not a bad total to defend but gilchrist is going well.... :|
Title: shite Post by: Spud on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 15:29:55 Fucking Gough's getting slaughtered!, should have gone with Simon Jones.
Title: shite Post by: blinkpip on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 15:45:06 But he taken a wicket.
Title: shite Post by: Spud on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 16:45:37 Gough has figures of 4 overs 1-37
It really doesnt matter if he's taken a wicket as he's going for 9.25 runs per over. Before this game his average in the series was 93.00, and his economy was 5.36 runs per over. :| Title: shite Post by: Johno on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 17:08:03 well....oval pitch was obviously suited for batsman and england didn't turn up.
Title: shite Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 18:05:28 Fuck. :cry:
Title: shite Post by: Spud on Wednesday, July 13, 2005, 05:03:28 Why the fuck are we playing the first test match at Lords?, it suits the Aussies as they havent lost there since the 1930's :evil: surely it would have been better to have the 3rd or 4th test there. :-))(
Title: shite Post by: Boeta on Wednesday, July 13, 2005, 10:10:27 who gives a fuck about history
i bet simon jones, harmison and hoggard don't have a clue about that stat. it won't have any effect on the 1st Test Title: shite Post by: Johno on Wednesday, July 13, 2005, 11:46:04 stats mean nothing really....depends on the day in cricket!
Title: shite Post by: Spud on Wednesday, July 13, 2005, 12:32:24 Quote from: "Boeta" who gives a fuck about history i bet simon jones, harmison and hoggard don't have a clue about that stat. it won't have any effect on the 1st Test But im sure Gilchrist, Ponting and Martyn do. Title: shite Post by: Boeta on Wednesday, July 13, 2005, 13:04:47 Quote from: "Spuddy_STFC" Quote from: "Boeta" who gives a fuck about history i bet simon jones, harmison and hoggard don't have a clue about that stat. it won't have any effect on the 1st Test But im sure Gilchrist, Ponting and Martyn do. So what. Just because Border and the two Waughs won a lot of matches at Lords doesn't guarantee any of those a century. Your thinking is quite illogical. Title: shite Post by: janaage on Wednesday, July 13, 2005, 13:13:10 Of course history/stats matter, it can affect the mindset, if the Aussies get off to a good start players could think here we go again. That's what sports all about the mind game.
Title: shite Post by: Zurich Red on Wednesday, July 13, 2005, 13:57:10 In 1997 the first test was at Edgbaston, we bowled the Aussies out before lunch for 120, won the test and then lost the next 3 comprehensively. One test doesn't win the Ashes even if they do like Lord's.
