Cricket scores around the world

Pietersen reaches 8,000

Cook gone.

Siddle has his bunny a tenth time.
Good job.

Sensational! Roll on the middle order collapse now, England to be all out by the end of the day...:)

Not enough wickets for the biys, but excellent job keeping the runs down.

England was precariously placed at 4 for 180 at stumps on day two of the third Ashes Test at the WACA in Perth.

The tourists enjoyed a solid opening stand between Alastair Cook and Michael Carberry, but will be ruing the controversial DRS dismissal of Joe Root.
Root was given out caught behind off Shane Watson's bowling but immediately called for a review of the decision, but failed to overturn it despite HotSpot not revealing an edge.
At stumps, Ian Bell (9 not out) and Ben Stokes (14 not out) were still at the crease for England.

Cook n the saffa startedout strongly but after being dismissed with 3.5 overs of each other the runs dried up and England began playing for a draw.

They don't really have any quick scoring batsmen do they. KP is supposed to be the one who can take the game away, but even he is finding it hard to score . He tried to start playing his shots against siddle , who is the slowest of our pace bowlers, but disrespecting him was his downfall once again.

But agreed. Good pressure bowling, though more wickets would have been nice. I expect we will bag a few first thing in the morning though. Our bowlers will be rested and the pitch will be faster. The curators sprinkled the pitch this morning as they were worried about it cracking up too fast, but I am presuming they will leave it nice and dry tomorrow :)

Cook has had an amazing career so far, but I wonder if he will keep up his form and be the first Pom to join the elite 10,000 run club.

My friend and I were talking about 'great' batsmen during the last test, and we struggled to come up with an English batter that stands out among the past greats. With India , tendulkar, gavaskar immediately come to mind, West Indies have lara, viv and co. Australia and bradman, border, Waugh , Ponting . But who are the English 'greats' ? Boycott? Gooch ? ....hardly world beaters....

Something about the English set up sees their top batsmen and captains have their careers cut short for whatever reAson ..

This is how they traditionally play. It is not working for them on this tour which has sent them into dissaray.

You cannot 'just try not to get out' against quality fast bowling. They build up pressure on themselves then get out playing stupid shots.

The poms tape the edges of their bats so small nicks don't show up on hotspot Rick. Whinging about it will get you nowhere :)

Wally bobi told me to get hes telling to tell you to get fuckvcked.
Sorry Wally.

I've been working all day on the computer, so didn't want to be distracted by TD...

The convicts bowled well. Not so well in the first session, but they bowled very well in the second and third sessions. We'll need to bat out most of tomorrow if we are gonna hope for a draw... :(

Willy must owe me loads of pints now.

^^ I take it you guys are out having a drink - and you meant to say he told me to get fvcked :)

Enjoy yourselves and take care.

I shall be flying to bkk tomorrow and staying in thonglor, so Bob can tell me in person :)
