Ponting LBW Broad 78
140-30 -
Watson and Ponting both out 'cos we pitched it up. Shame it's taken so long for our attack to realise that that is what's needed on this track.0

Hussey's been a poor starter in this series so if we bowl in the right area we could get him cheaply. That is a big "if" though.[cite]Posted By: Addick Addict[/cite]q
Hussey out LBW

Do England get deducted points if more than 16 wickets fall on one day ?

Anyone else think Bopara is shite and shouldn't be in the team?0

Only if all 16 wickets to fall are theirs.0 -

Player for player, when fully fit, England are better than Australia. Yes, they've (all but) stuffed us in this match (Ponting's second win in 9 attempts in this country) to make it 1-1. I still make England favourites to complete the job at The Oval.[cite]Posted By: Addick Addict[/cite][cite]Posted By: Chizz[/cite]78-5

I don't see how we can recover from this - without our 2 decent players we are, by and large, a shit cricket team.0

The Oval hasn't been a result pitch this season. Batsman's paradise. Loose the toss there and the Aussies keep the urn.0 -

That's not what you said when I said "no KP no Freddie" = 1-1 though. I admire your blind allegiance nevertheless because if you seriously think this shambles of a Team (even with Freddie) has any chance of winning the final Test you're sadly misguided. I'm clinging on to the hope for bad weather and 1-1 because a batting line up of Strauss, Cook, Bopara, Bell, Collingwood et al ain't gonna scare Bangladesh let alone the Aussies.0 -
That's one view. The other is that Hugh Morris is on the phone right now to the groundsman at the Oval to prepare a bunsen burner.[cite]Posted By: Clem_Snide[/cite][cite]Posted By: Chizz[/cite]

Bangladesh may well be good enough to have given the West Indies a beating, but you are talking nonsense.[cite]Posted By: Addick Addict[/cite][cite]Posted By: Chizz[/cite][cite]Posted By: Addick Addict[/cite][cite]Posted By: Chizz[/cite]78-5

We're measuring England against the best team in the world. Australia have won two days at Leeds hands-down, yet still don't lead the series.0 -

Bangladesh was "tongue in cheek" but if you seriously think that Bopara and Bell are good enough I suggest that you check their averages against the Aussies because that's what counts and not soft runs against the likes of the Windies who didn't even want to be here.0 -
