Seeing as they're only allowed spinners at the moment, it would be good for everyone's sanity if they turned off the stump mike so I don't have to listen to Gilchrist all afternoon.
Mark Nicholas is becoming the new Bill Lawry. Sadly, Tony Grieg is the same old Tony Grieg. Richie is beginning to remind me of the sad old broadcaster from an episode of Arli$$ (just in paches though, just in patches).
IF we don't win this one, perhaps we could look back on WHY the batters came off and lost us valuable time at the crease instead of gutsing it out. Or is that just me ? The weather forecast is better for the 5th day and miracles do happen.
I watch the Telly and listen to the radio commentary, but just like the nasal attraction to a bad fart I can't help but listen to the telly with Greg "Mofo" Matthews spurts out a few cliches from his helmet.
I have utmost respect for Deano, and he's a bloody good commentator on the wireless (as well as being shafted by the ACB), but Matthews I have no time for. He out bollockses Boycott and surshites Grieg and Boycott.
Deano was massively annoying as a TV commentator in India last year, I don't think he has the delivery to do good ball-by-ball. But I really enjoy that in the SBS studio he speaks his mind. It's almost as if he's a savvy fan sitting next to you in the stands, explaining lots of the things that go on.
I also appreciate that he's openly parochial. It's a relief to have a commentator admit they are barracking for one side rather than pretending to be a non-partisan pundit whose biases nevertheless seep out to cloud their call.
Mo was excellent as a radio commentator in India in 2001 but on TV can be a right royal hipster fuckwit. His mozzing of the Aussies in Edgbaston was unbearable, too. I think he's good bouncing stuff of Deano, though. So at least (for me, anyway) he's not a total bust. But yes, he can be bloody irritating.
Mark Nicholas is master of the hyperbole. He keeps going on about how we've all managed to 'live this summer'. His excessive use of the superlative is starting to render him incomprehensible.
Oh no. Grieg and Slater have just assumed their posts in the commentary box.
Well horses for courses ay Tone Loc? I missed mofo's prediction for the day, but he probably said England bowled out for <100, Warne doing the damage. Cockhead.
And another thing, MoFo's bollocks on "the spirit of the game" shitfest on England taking the bad light was crap. Grumpy, Tubby or Waugh (fuck it even Punter) would have walked off in the same situation.
I think Marky Mark went to advertising school. Dick.
And MoFo was miles of the pace with the TSOTG shit-fiesta. I don't know a skipper in the history of world cricket who wouldn't have done the same. They would have been derelict in their duty had they stayed out there. Spanky Roebuck has been smoking the same shit as Matthews. Or is that stroking?
The papers down here have been running the Lee/Tait vs DK/Thommo thing also. Fatheads. They have gone mad.
Hayden didn't drop it, Ed. It bounced off of his leg after a deflection from Gilchrist. Gilly dropped it. Again!
Australia with 40 overs chasing 250+ is what we want.
Lillee and Thommo were the scariest bowling fuckers ever produced by Australia. Lee is as intimidating as the cookie monster and Tait is like a white Devon Malcolm without the finesse.
On the hubris angle, all this changing of the guard from Australia to england for a decade of domination is bloody stretching it.
Your last point is one I've been at pains to point out to the Englanders at work. England will do well to hold on to the Ashes next year. Australia aren't going the way of the Windies and will be far more ready next time around.
Our catching has gone from brilliant to a sad (and very, very, very painful) joke.
Now I reckon you might be drawing a l-o-n-g bow there. England will love the wickets over here in 15 months time.
One thing I've finally set my mind at rest is Hawkeye. I have faith in science and physics so I've always thought that predicting a ball's path is possible. Utter shit. I think it was the Bell LBW by Warne. It looked like swinging back towards middle stump, hawkeye had it glancing by a hair breadth.
Oh fuck warney has struck. Not far to 133 - a target to bowl at.
I've been ranting about Hawkeye for years. It's an utter joke and it's especially insidious when Channel 9 (that's here for Ed) use it to back up their commentators or to try and get theumpy off the hook for a hwoler. But never use it when they might have said something stupid or it is likely to sho something totally at odds with what has happened.
Like the leggy the other day, that was really a wrongun that went the other way.
England home comfortably. We are not going to run through you quick enough to win. Those drops off of Pietersen were crucial. Of corse the big dumb Yarpie seems to want to run himself out.
How come Tony Grieg seems to commentate for, like, ever?!? It's the same at 9. It's a bit like schooldays. The holidays go in the blink of an eye, but the terms last for ever.
This is the great thing about having been seriously ill this summer: I can put all this cricket watching down to 'necessary recuperation'. Also, as a student, it's not as if I need an excuse anyway.
Yow. Grim shit. Excuse the pun. Actually, don't; I meant it.

I'm with you, Wicky. The history is dire (sorry Flutey) and there's no way we will chase down a total over 100.
Yeah. What precisesly IS the matter there, Ed? You blog about it, but I have this genetic malfunction that doesn't allow me to understand medical talk.
Are you getting better? I see you had a diagnosis that wasn't a diagnosis. Hope it turns out ok for you.
'Grim Shit' - damn, that would have made an excellent post title. I may yet steal it, if I relapse.
I'm supposedly better now (my small intestine was bleeding), and my blood count is rising. To celebrate, I went drinking for 14 hours on Saturday. My body is a temple, etc.
Having a look at the stats (always shite but it is cricket), Australia's lowest scoring innings is 190. Other than that it's 218, then too much to talk about.

E(RunRate) A (RR) Crunch point for E to get to
2 4 46 overs left, 189 runs
2 5 40 overs left, 201 runs
2.5 4 48 overs left, 198 runs
2.5 5 43 overs left, 210 runs

Having a look at the stats (always shite but it is cricket), Australia's lowest scoring innings is 190. Other than that it's 218, then too much to talk about.
On a rush through the Excelometer:
E(RunRate) A (RR) Crunch point for E to get to
2 4 46 overs left, 189 runs
2 5 40 overs left, 201 runs
2.5 4 48 overs left, 198 runs
2.5 5 43 overs left, 210 runs
3 4 50 overs left, 205 runs

Posted by: flute | Monday, September 12, 2005 at 10:25 PM
Yep. 8 runs crucial. No doubt.
Meanwhile Hack Pietersen has made 50. What a shambles dropping that scrubber twice.
8 runs.
