Ashes Cricket in England 2013

[QF WP]

Past 450 now and just waiting for Haddin to get his 50 before I go to bed

 

[QF WP]

Wow, Starc has opened his shoulders and has hit consecutive 4's off Swann... Now 7/471

 

[QF WP]

Yay, Haddin gets his 50 and I can go to bed...7/479. Starc on 35 - can he get 50??

 

[JohnK]

Scoring runs at will now.

 

[stewiejp]

Got to be happy with that - 7/527 dec and Eng 2/52. Like QFWP, I was on the reds last night as well and don't remember much after the lunch break..

 

[QF WP]

Very happy when I woke up this morning and checked cricinfo

 

[JohnK]

Very good result and surprise declaration.

And England under presssure.

Game on....

 

[QF WP]

Yeah! Harris gets Trott early. 3/64

Another day, another bottle of John Duval going down well - started with dinner

I tell you I have never seen a number 9 hit the ball so cleanly, what a pleasure to watch from the stand right next to commentary box ! :mrgreen:

 

[QF WP]

So are we to presume that you are there again today??

 

[QF WP]

Oh yes...Cook is out caught behind down the leg side for 62. Now 4/110

 

[docjames]

Good catch too - just stuck in the webbing.

I was worried you were up behind the sight screen.

 

[Rallo]

Not a big fan of Haddin but what a fantastic catch.

 

[QF WP]

Like QFWP, I was on the reds last night as well and don't remember much after the lunch break..

Were you a little delicate this morning?? I'm imbibing again tonight - c'mon you know you want to...

Lunch 4/119. 408 runs behind. Good session for us - two wickets

The biggest thing about this upswing is not so much that we've proven that we're not exactly a pushover, but that we now need to keep on doing this for the rest of the series to get the urn back.

For those that know about the chess championships, this reminds me a lot about Fischer vs Spassky 1972 in Reykjavik. Let's hope it ends the same way for the challenger.

 

[QF WP]

Pietersen with consecutive 6's off Lyon. He's looking dangerous

 

[QF WP]

Bell trying his luck with the same shot. Okay, I'm over this - time for a wicket or I'll have to pour myself another glass

 

[JohnK]

Have I flown into an alternate universe?

You would not think England are 2-0 up in this series.

If we can keep the pressure on the who knows what could happen.

Now watching from LHR T3 Galleries First on the TV. This lounge doesn't seem to be as good as the Concorde Room I visited about 5 years ago but maybe I just cannot remember. Pietersen just gone LBW you beauty !! Time for another drink :mrgreen:
