yes they did (lets not forget they won the series :-) ) but because they failed to make a score in the second innings. but my point being that a bad session doesn't mean an instant loss, you only have to see the way the last 2 draws have been achieved to see that.

This innings looks like some kind of fucking joke.

Cricket is fucking shit.

brilliant!

india bowled australia out for 93 in 2004. there is hope :-)

5 for Siddle with his medium pace dobbers. Jeebus - what a shower.

Gordon Brown writes. "I think hard-working families up and down the country will be proud and will recognise how the England cricketers have fought through the difficult morning session and emerged into the far brighter afternoon session their hard work so richly deserves. After all, England lost seven wickets this morning, and predictions suggest they cannot possibly lose more than three this afternoon, so recovery is obviously just around the corner."

Harmison better bowl brilliantly now.

Realistically though, off to the Oval for a series decider.

Fuck, there was a chance i was going to have tickets for Tuesday.... not sure that i should even bother chasing them up now >_>

I left for lunch saying "awww we're not gonna get 'em all out for 100".
I get back and my workmate says "All out for 102".
"Bullshit" I reply
Log on, see score, laugh, eat pizza.

And Anderson, sounds like its swinging a bit. We need to skittle them for 150-175 or its down to the Oval

Four off the first ball, fantastic.

Four off the second ball, um...

Ponting, Hussey and Clarke are unlikely to capitualte as meekly as Bopara, Bell and Collingfuckingwood.

Well they're already 10% of the way there...after one over, fuck.

yay!

well bowled harmy.

Booing to welcome Ponting.

Having lost 1 wicket for 14 runs in 2 overs, I have been able to extrapolate our projected total and predict that we will be bowled out for 140 runs before tea.

Probably still win by an innings.

What's that all about? Did he upset youz?

Booooohhhaaawwwwshit..
5.5 Steve Harmison to Ricky Ponting, 4 runs. He hits a nice boundary backward of square on the off side

This is shambolic bowling. Didn't they see their own innings? Fuckwits.

At least its giving Sir Geoffrey something to get stuck into, more entertaining than the bloody cricket
