Wasn't too many 6s hit last night. It was just a good tight evenly match game.
As far as value goes for entertainment/excitement it's pretty hard to beat.

Getting boring now with the "URN" in the cupboard, even commentators lack some oomph

T'was a beaut day for cricket today. A very tightly fought contest this one with the poms a nose in front.
Attachment 38411
Stupid 3G network at the MCG can't cope with the number of people.
Any play who walks out to bat with a foot injury like broard had at the WACA earns respect from true supporters of the game. Showed character.
About time we showed some bottle and pride.
although I was only able to listen for the last few days its been awesome cricket but I think all batters have lost that hard yards stuff with these new bats which gave them the edge over great bowling for a long time. got to give a big cheer for the curator of this pitch its a cracker. to all poms you still need 2 more good days of cricket and you may get a win. kev
I have a question why the review for a front foot no ball every time a wicket falls
I've seen heaps of no balls not called, are the umps that lazy now they just go upstairs.
Who cares now about game there is no atmosphere any more, cups in the cupboard
One of my great peeves with cricket at the moment, see it all the time. It pisses me off that umpires don't bother with no balls unless there is a wicket. The ICC need to do some thing about it because it's wrong, a no ball is a no ball. Just like any other referral, it should be up to the batsman not the umpire to ask for a no ball review as the umpire should be calling them as they see them.Quote:

It's the first thing they should be watching for because it affects everything thereafter. Extra run, bowl it again etc.Quote:

All the talk is of umpiring decisions costing matches. What if a team lost by 2 runs and there were no no-balls called on the last innings? Do we go back over every delivery to find them? I bet they'll be there.......
Yes it's all going wrong. The 3rd umpire should only be called apon if requested.
Not review every wicked
Match is on a knifes edge at the moment
They have suffed the cricket IMO like they stuffed the footy
they make all these rule changes that only complicate what is
basically a very simple game
there's nothing better than watching Broad walk without making any runs...
Another broadwalk without any runnnns
he don't need no sunscreen,he won't be there for lonnng
4-0 it will be then.
It could still go either way, closest game so far.Quote:

Starts about midnight. So I either stay up and listen to it on the radio or go to bed early and get up about 02:00 to listen to it.
Cricket is on Sky TV over here,I don`t pay for it so can`t watch it.
There has been some really good bowling from both sides. Good to see the POM's still have a bit of spine, except for Swan of course…
Can't wait for tomorrow! Got F-all work done and I can imagine that productivity in Melbourne would have been a dirty word today as well.
Interesting that the Umps can get it wrong so often though. Whether it is LBW, caught behind or whatever…just about every type of decision has been made and overturned at some point.
correct this game is far from over you don't have 30 wickets fall for just over 600 runs and then it will be a batting paradise. but with a good attitude we will win by tea.Quote:

It's been a great match so far and there is at least one twist left in it.
To all of those who laughed at Broad over his foot,,, they showed it this morning
I think a mere mortal man would be left in tears, He's one tuff cookie, His boot would have been
full of blood from the gash as the top of his foot split open, Still going to lose, but thought I'd add that
well he definitely wont be able to wear his heels tonight will he.
r first innings ade. everyone has to remember its pretty much our bottom 5 that's been the difference in this seriesQuote:

Looks like we are well on the way to winning this one. Rogers seems to have found some touch!
Think its the end of Monty too, Poor bloke cant even throw the ball from the boundry to the wicket,
not good enough at this level.
So good to see the Aussies win this game, I thought they were gone for sure so it makes victory so much sweeter.
I agree... mainly 'cause their jerkoffs are waaaay more obnoxious than our jerkoffs.
Did you see the interview where the Poms reckon it is too much stress to play ashes series so close together? ... uuummmm... derrrr... who do they think they were playing, it was the same for both... morons!!!
4 zip say no more
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!! Great win
Game! Set! and Match! Well done Aussies. Was a good game to watch that one. I'm sure the headlines in the UK rags will be impressive tomorrow.
That must just mean that the Aussies are physically and mentally fitter as they coped extremely well.Quote:
