Alex 35079 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 It’s the hope that kills you. Well what actually killed England was not getting another 50+ runs in the second innings. And not getting a wicket or two before the close yesterday. Tbh, given India’s ridiculous test form at home, I’d have been happy with England being competitive before the series started. But they’ve had opportunities to at least be level going into the last test 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing up to Underwood, who nearly bowled medium pace on turning, sticky wickets. And he makes it look like he’s shelling peas at times.

He just turns and gets his hat off the umpire and shakes hands with the batsman at the non-striker’s end.

Alex 35079 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Apparently Fletcher just smiled back at Ponting who was mouthing off as he came off. Particularly significant given he cracks a smile about twice a decade. England did take full advantage of the fielding regs then but so fuck? They’d have done the same. I remember Trevor Penney being used too. Another superb fielder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Trevor Penney being used too. Another superb fielder yeah, fletcher knew. it was a bit like when keegan lost the plot in that sky interview. that was the moment england knew the aussies were cracking under the pressure. they turned up expecting to be able to steamroller us as per, as you could see by Punter's outrageous decision to bowl first at edgbaston - i was there for the last day of that test, (well, half day) still, bloody marvellous! it was such an enthralling series. that pace attack with flintoff, harmeson, hoggard and jones had a little bit of everything. all ashley giles had to do was tie up an end from time to time. the aussie batters had no clue how to deal with the reverse swing jones and flintoff were able to find with the older ball. clarke, martyn and gilchrist were all made to look stupid on more than one occasion. i do wonder if we'd have managed it without mcgrath's injury mind. they were still an incredible side, even if a few of them were over the hill. and they got their revenge next time we toured down under Edited May 7 by Dr Gloom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35079 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Giles was good in that series, mind. Wickets were quite costly but he picked up a few. Did ok with the bat (that half century on the last day at the oval was a crucial innings). Excellent in the gully too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
