The Ashes (Cricket)

Peter Superstar Siddle is on fire.

Update 4: Collingwood caught at slip for . England 125 - 4. Cook and the aforementioned Bell at the crease. Australia on a bit of a roll here, got some batsmen left in the England order but we need to rally sharpish.

 

[Doive]

Cook and Bell are more than capable of a massive, massive partnership if Bell can get himself in and Cook can stay calm.

 

[smithy_2045]

Cook just looks like he's waiting to get out. He's not even remotely convincing.

Your bowling has no way been good enough for you to deserve to have taken 4 wickets, it's the curse of the gabba dammit!

Siddle is a bloody legend! Now the game has started

Cook just looks like he's waiting to get out. He's not even remotely convincing.

Cook isn't a quick run scorer, but he can stay in all day long if he wants to. It's far from over yet.

Siddle could've very easily had 3 himself with a more generous umpire, and Watson's wicket was well deserved too. Johnson's been bowling shit, but that was expected.

Strauss' and Trott's dismissals were not good balls. Collingwood's was also a poor shot rather than good bowling.

I'm not really a fan of Cricket, myself. I just go there for the Chesterfields, and the occasional reference to that one episode of The Prisoner.

Trott's dismissal wasn't a good ball? Are you even watching the game? It was a good length, got a bit of movement off the seam and clean bowled him.

And Collingwood is a known nicker of the ball early in his innings. Siddle bowled perfectly to the plan to get him out.

 

[Doive]

Minimal movement on Trott's, he basically played around a straight ball.
Fair comment on colly I guess.

Update 5: England 172 - 4 at tea. Cook on 60 and Bell on 26, partnership stands at 47. I will begrudgingly admit that siddle has indeed bowled well.

 

[smithy_2045]

Siddle gets his 3rd, Cook gone for 67.

 

[smithy_2045]

Make that 6/197, Siddle with 4. Prior with a golden duck.

HATTRICK PETER SIDDLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Superstar.

 

[Doive]

.....See above for updates. I'm going to stroke my cat until the pain goes away.

 

[Doive]

Swann gone for 10, England 228 - 8. Anderson and Bell at the crease. 'tis ok, Australia will be all out for four.
