Yet the current Australian team (more or less) beat the Saffas on their own turf.

Let's not talk about the difference from then and now... trust me you don't want to go there... :lol

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

They had a few key dudes out as well didnt they?

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

:lol

 

[hamchan]

Australia keep missing catches, that's the difference I suppose. Keeper should have gone for that.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Declare Ricky.

 

[newelly87]

Haddin is a terrible keeper.

 

[Papa]

Haddin is a terrible keeper.

This is just silly

 

[Zapages]

Haddin is a terrible keeper.

He is better than Kamran Akmal of Pakistan. :|

 

[guidop]

It pretty obvious we are going to crumble soon. Looking like a 3 for 350 scoreline by the end of the day

 

[speedpop]

I honestly want England to post a massive score just so Healy will have continuous meltdowns.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

HUZZAH!

Johnson. Miracle.

Now triple hat trick.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Do we hold hope Crick-Gaf?

 

[DeSo]

Wow, Johnson is actually bowling well. Hope he can keep it up.

Edit: Another one, Johnson carving them up! I did not expect this but it's so awesome to see.

 

[Papa]

FUCK YES

 

[hamchan]

Good on ya Mitchell Johnson!

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

HRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Im tempted to stop watchin WEC and go watch cricket instead of cricinfo :lol

 

[guidop]

time to introduce siddle

 

[Ashes]

:lol I can requote this:

Johnson was minging,
so Australia got rid of him,
but then he got brought back,
cause the replacements were all crap,
and now he's their savior,
he's their king!

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Aslong as it aint Harris, dude seems off.

Watto should get a bowl seems to be swinging nicely.

 

[Grug]

Mitch Johnson! I never doubted him!!!













*prays no one goes back and reads my posts from the first test* :lol

 

[Grug]

Aslong as it aint Harris, dude seems off.

Strauss: c. Haddin, b. Harris.

 

[Yagharek]

Aslong as it aint Harris, dude seems off.

:lol

 

[speedpop]

Michael Slater needs to shove a sock in his mouth. He's as bad as Healy.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Hey man's cut me some slack, dude went for 3 or 4 4's in an over.

Good comeback for him anyways, feel sorry for the rest of the English batsmen........... they havent had a bat in a while.

 

[Grug]

What a fucking challenge!

I didn't think that was out!

Piss off Paul Collingwood MBE! Start walking.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

You little rippa!

What happened to Johnson in those 2 weeks?

 

[speedpop]

He had his back against the wall and was dropped, coming back proper. Same shit needs to happen to Clarke.

 

[hamchan]

Now this is a good match. Australia's bowling keeping them alive.

 

[guidop]

hey guyz wats the follow on?

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Think his spunky missus kicked his ass.

 

[legend166]

I go away for a couple hours to a work lunch, AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENS.




YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[legend166]

When Johnson swings the ball, Steyn is the only other bowler in the world at the moment who can compare.

If it only took a couple weeks in the nets to get this, why has it taken so long?

 

[Papa]

He already had Strauss out earlier, too bad the fielding was awful.

Jessica Bratich

Oh the things I would do to her...

 

[santouras]

THIS is the the Mitchell Johnson that terrorized SA a few years ago and broke Grahem Smiths hand. Good to see he's back!

 

[Grug]

Oh the things I would do to her...

And oh the physical punishment she would dish out to you if you tried. :lol

 

[Papa]

And oh the physical punishment she would dish out to you if you tried. :lol

Worth it

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

And oh the physical punishment she would dish out to you if you tried. :lol

Part of the fun.

Anderson is miles better than Johnson and up there with Steyn. It can be hard to admit that an Englishman is good, I know.

 

[DeSo]

So glad I got the arvo off to see that. Bloody unbelievable from Johnson, never thought I'd see that again.

 

[legend166]

What?

Johnson at his best craps all over Anderson. From a great height.

The problem is Johnson's only been at best for around 2-3 months combined over his whole career. And the difference between his best and worst is huge. His worst is just absolute tripe. Overall, Anderson has easily been the better bowler over the last 18 months or so, but if you asked any batsman who'd be harder to face at their peak, 99% would say Johnson.

If you're wildly inconsistent, you're simply not a good test cricketer.

Not a chance. By your definition most batsman haven't faced him at his best anyway.

 

[Grug]

Ask Graham Smith.

 

[Fredescu]

99% of South African captains would rather face Anderson. On that we can agree

 

[Dead Man]

Wow. I guess both teams need to just play their bowlers. Nice fightback from Johnson, I had written him off. I think it's a match again!

 

[Ashes]

fuck.

 

[Grug]

fuck.

LMAO. Pure luck that wicket.

The cricket gods are back on our side today.

 

[Grug]

Bell running out of support.

 

[master15]

Hmmm...I don't know what to say.

 

[Grug]

Bell gawwwwwwn!

 

[Dead Man]

Bell!

Does anyone else think Warne and Healy in the same booth is an absolute disaster?
