3rd Test.

ROFLOL. Aussies are still saying McGrath may be fit. Sure, the guy does his ankle ligaments in a grade two tear that normally takes six weeks to heal and he's OK in 6 days.

If he is, I'd like some of the drugs he's been given please.

 

[Janie]

Want me to spoil it for you again?

 

[Ky]

Spoil what?

 

[Janie]

Who wins.

 

[Ky]

Whoever wins the toss will win IMO. If England don't bat first, they'll lose to Warne.

 

[Janie]

I think Aussie will win this one and England the next - setting up a final game decider. If England do win this one, then I expect the Aussie to win the 4th one. So I predict it'll be 2-2 after 4.

 

[Ky]

England won the toss. McGrath IS playing. I predict its a BIG mistake from them and he'll break down OR not be bowling as effectively.

EDIT: Given his first over, I'll take that back. England to lose comfortably

 

[Chick]

Hmm
Safe slow batting, and commentators talking about cake. Now That's cricket!

 

[Ky]

26 - 1.

More like tentative, unsure batting culminating in a wicket that was overdue.

 

[Vicslav]

93-1 at lunch ill settle for that . a morning of proper test cricket .

 

[Ky]

Aye. England need 500+ on this wicket batting first. It certainly looks like Vaughan could compile a large innings here. Right now, Gillespie doesn't look like he could buy a wicket; he looks truly fed-up.

McGrath obviously isn't fully fit. He normally bowls 10 or 11 overs on the bounce. Not this morning. I'll be VERY interested to see how stiff his ankle is this afternoon. I think it's a big, big mistake of theirs (and due to his colossal "I'm superhuman" ego).

 

[Ky]

142 - 1.

Most expensive bowler at the moment? McGrath.

 

[Chick]

I'm guessing he's not 100% fit, and in 4 days time he will be in much worse shape.

How does he look on tv?

 

[Ky]

He looks like he normally does. A lanky streak of piss. He certainly isn't zipping into the wicket.

He's been taken off after Vaughan clattered him for two fours. I said last night I'd laugh my arse off if he played and its a mistake. So far I'm spot on

150 - 1.

 

[Git]

Aussie Arrogance FTL !! go on the England

 

[Chick]

's a shame they keep dropping catches too

 

[Ky]

Mcgrath has been off the pitch 10 mins now.

Longer than 5 more and I would be alerting the Umpires. Tough titty mate, you've come into the match 70% fit, you're gonna have to deal with it.

 

[Ky]

The fat c*nt gets a wicket (number 600). Poor shot from Trescothick, although unlucky in that Gilchrist fluked the catch by having it bounce off his knee.

163-2

 

[Chick]

lol, Quote of the day:

"Warne's after it, they'll proabably get 3." Time to lay off the pies maybe?

 

[Ky]

He loves teh pies.
