Ashes 2010/11

[Monty]

36-1. Trott has got 25 of them. As you do, Cooky, as you do.

Edit: Trott out bowled. For god's sake.

[usav]

Trott's off stump has gone - and so has he, back to the pavilion.

Get 350 1st innings and it's  game on.

[Dave Cooper please]

Spinner on for Pietersen, but fuck him, bash him out the ground Kev.

Pietersen always thinks that against the left-armers and gets out stupidly. His record against them is very poor.

I know that, you know that, Pietersen knows that, but today he'll twat the newcomer out of the ground, trust me.

[Monty]

Well with catching like that, why not? Cook gets a life.

[Dave Cooper please]

Honours even at lunch?

[Monty]

I'd say so. Cook especially has responded to the early trauma of losing Strauss with calm and resilience. Shame to lose Trott in the manner that we did, but Pietersen seems (touch wood!) to be playing himself into the innings rather than going for too much too soon. About as difficult to call as we thought it would be.

[andyaston]

86-2 in the balance, looks better than 0-1.

[Monty]

Balls, Pietersen. Balls.

[Monty]

And Collo as well, balls. It's all up to Ian "Mental Strength" Bell now.

[KevinGage]

Ponting telling how the umpire to do his job again.

Concentrate on your shit field placings and your bowlers who can't seem to bowl straight this session.

[KevinGage]

Only about 250 runs short.

English batsmen: Once again making dreams come true. For Australians.

[Dave Cooper please]

Strange first night, in hindsight probably just a tad too much wine before settling down on the settee, so it was more of a wake up every half hour to see the score rather than a proper nights cricket!
Saw every bloody second of Siddle's hat-trick though, of course I bloody did.
Need at least one wicket before close, this isn't over yet.
