    The Official Cricket Thread 2006/2007

    Eng vs NZ atm looks like the ODI matches that were played a generation ago...where 200 was a considered a competitive score and 250 was considered a winning score. :P

    Ashes to Ashes

    Yeah no-one will be able to replace warne from our current stock of spinners. But then again, i guess you gotta understand that Warnie was one of a kind, maybe even once or twice in a century for a single country who revolutionised the standards and expectations for leg spin bowlers. Same story...

    Ashes to Ashes

    But middle order batsmen are supposed to be good players of spin (and Clarke and Hussey especially are known to be good players of spin). After the Top order takes the shine off the new ball the middle order comes in and handles the spinners as the ball degrades and before the next new ball is...

    Ashes to Ashes

    Make that 5 wickets in hand, thanks pidge :P Game is slightly favouring Australia at the moment. The target is 290 and both batsmen are aggressive: Flintoff is not an all day batsman and Pietersen has only just been slipping into that role. I'd say if England lose another wicket tomorrow then...

    England could be going for the win tomorrow O_O All they need is 3 an over with 7 wickets left in hand.

    Ashes to Ashes

    Don't offer a shot, you risk the gun. Although Strauss has been very unlucky...3 times this series to suss decisions. but man, 419 (or 413) runs in 2.5 sessions, damn dude. They can only hope to play for a draw now you'd think.

    Ashes to Ashes

    Someone needs to fire Rudi, first the Mcgrath call, and now the Strauss call. Well...maybe it's karma (didn't strauss catch Mcgrath's wicket?) :P

    Ashes to Ashes

    hahahaha, god that was even worse than the strauss call in adelaide. No noise past the bat, which missed by about 10cm or so and it hit him on the bloody shoulder. 250 was still close enough....it would've been 250 if that was given not out because i'm sure hussey would've made at least 6...

    Ashes to Ashes

    I don't think we should lose hope in our openners just yet. Langer still looks in good touch, he's still averaging 60ish for this series and the only reason he failed in the 2nd innings of the 2nd test is because we needed to pick up the run rate. Maybe Jaques for Hayden if he doesn't break 50...

    Ashes to Ashes

    Yeah about the all rounder thing, a true all rounder (not a batting all rounder or a bowling all rounder) like sobers or in today's game (to a certain extent): flintoff, kallis, pollock (although i might classify him as a bowling all rounder)...they're one of those really special players that...

    Ashes to Ashes

    Whoa that's a shock :\ So yeah, my plan still works, hussey to 4, Clarke to 5, then play an extra batsman (can Jaques play middle order?) or an extra bowler (tait, johnson, whatever) :P

    Ashes to Ashes

    No, we cannot be complacent just because we're 2 up. This is just what happened in '81 and we lost that one (although argueably, that was more to do with that 2nd game) I reckon keep the winning team until we have another win or 2 more draws under our belt. If there are any changes at all, i...
