Natwest Update Eng Vs Aus at Edgbaston - June 28

We had a cracker of a game in store last night , until the fickle english weather intervened , i had looked forward to the game pretty much through the week. It also was like a dress rehersal for the grand final on Sat.

The Aussie machine looks to be back on track though i think their problems with their 4th and 5th bowlers still persisit.Dizzy and Kaspa still look rusty and tired while Shane "Watto" Watson is a load of crap. You outta stop giving guys like KP lip service and get on with the game mate!

Leaves the aussies with 3 bowlers Mcgrath,Lee and Hogg. Dont think they can count on Simmo to pull another "Pfeifer" out the bag. Kp and co certainly ain't equal to the Bangers.

There was an incident with Haydos and Simon Jones and of course the rest of the Poms got involved as well. Ponting had to intervene. Let' see what the match ref has to say.

The aussies play Bangers tomorrow. It should be a walk in the park.Though the
lucky Ashraful might pull a rabbit out the hat again. While has batted well he
has been very very lucky. I guess "Fortune favors the brave".

Howz this for luck.

Game 1 vs the Aus. - Dizzy gillespie dropped him twice and they missed a runout - Result he smashed a 100 and took the bangers home.

Game 2 vs Eng - Harmison bowled him but the bails refused to dislodge.The result Ash finished with 94 from 52 including one over where he took 16 of Harmy.

Game 5 vs Aus - Hayden dropped him at slip. Then Dizzy caught him of a no-ball.
Ponting hit the stumps direct but the 3rd ump coudnt make a decision coz there was dust flying about that blurred the cam! - Ashraful made 57 and it took a blinder from Simmo to finally dismiss him!

Phew. But take nothing away from the pocket size dynamite he has played brilliantly right through this series. He desrves all the luck to say the least.
