If anyone who said test cricket is boring, watch the Ashes now !!

[Oneonone]

It's on again tonight, the do or die third test at Old Trafford !!

C'mon Michael Clarke, win that bloody toss, take your team out there and make 600 before declaring !!

The Aussie and England has won 7 a piece in this ground but draw 14 times, so a draw to stay alive will be a good bet if we can't win it !!

What did I say to you before Ahlungor:- Ahlungor! Ahlungor! Wake up Ahlungor! Your dreaming!

[AHLUNGOR]

What did I say to you before Ahlungor:- Ahlungor! Ahlungor! Wake up Ahlungor! Your dreaming!

O Neon One, O Neon One, O Neon One ! I am awake !! But this is the team we got and we need to get behind them, rain, hail or shine !!

I have a feel they will cum good this time, don't forget we could easily have won the first test !! So we might as well look at the score as Oneonone and start all over again and just try to win this test and then we can look at the 4th !!

Just like if you are the Melbourne Storm supporter you are not going to jump ship simply because they lost 4 of the past 5!! And don't forget they also lost 5 in a row last year befor winning the Premiership!!

And don't let me start on the Blues after losing 8 series, they will eventually win one - even if they have to wait for the "Spines" to retire !!

Go Aussie, go out there tonight, bat your heart out or bowl the shit out of the England team!!

Oi, Oi, Oi !!

[Oneonone]

Just love your optimism!

Watson out after facing about 40 balls.. who would have thought?!? At least he didn't waste one of our reviews... And now khawaja out facing 19 balls for 1.. not sure he was out the drs didn't show much... Clarke is overdue for a big score.

[AHLUNGOR]

Khawaja was very unlucky to get out without even hitting the ball ! And lost a review as well!!

If Clarke and Rogers can form a big partnership until stumps then we are right in this test !!

C'mon Clarkey, we need our Captain to standup NOW !!

Go Aussie, Aussie, Aussie,

Oi, Oi, Oi !!

[AHLUNGOR]

Well, Rogers is gone lbw on 86!

What a pity, he's been batting very well, another near hundred went begging !

[AHLUNGOR]

Ok, Smith was very lucky not given out on a duck !

That even things up a little !

[AHLUNGOR]

Clarkey got back to back boundaries and has now scored more than 1,500 test runs against England !!

[AHLUNGOR]

Just notice that David Warner is no. 426 Australian Cricketer !

That doesn't mean anything outside of Hong Kong , but we hongkie all know what that means:

四二六，雙花紅棍

Meaning he is the best fighter in the Triad !!

Let's hope - may be tomorrow ! When Warner comes out to bat, he can beat the shit out of the England bowlers !

[AHLUNGOR]

OK, the Captain gets a half century !!!

[AHLUNGOR]

Ok, Smith was very lucky not given out on a duck !

That even things up a little !

Smith survived another review and goes to 20!

[Oneonone]

We are batting better but we still need a century from someone and two would be even better, we need at least 450 but 600 would be even better. Smiths looking a bit shaky, lets hope Warner can get a few runs.

Well Smith survived yet another lbw and England has no review left!!

Suck in !!

[AHLUNGOR]

203 for 3 !

[AHLUNGOR]

Yes, Michael Clarke has made the Century !

[AHLUNGOR]

Yes, Steve Smith made a half century !

3 for 263 !

[AHLUNGOR]

Stumps Day 1, 3 for 303 !

Clarkey made 125 and Smith on 70 !

That's how you play Ashes !!

So same time tomorrow night, Footy is gonna take a back seat !

Good night guys!

Cheers

Brilliant fight back. Khawaja was not out, disgraceful decision, and Rogers was unlucky with the clown behind the bowlers arm, but Clarke and Smith have done well and made the bowlers tire. A bit more of that and when Warner and haddin come in they can open up the shoulders perhaps and really grind them down.

Mate, What is wrong with the umpires, especially the third Umpire. How can you give the guy out if you cannot see anything on the hotspot, no sound and you can see clearly that the ball has when pass the bat with a huge gap between the two. What a shocker! They either get rid of the technology or trust them 100%. A punch of idiot.

I am happy to see the improvement of the Aussie batsman, they look a lot more focus and willing to play a long inning. That's how to accumulate a big total. Hope that can change their fortune. Clarke has proved it again, he is a great player when he put his head down. Well done to him and hopefully with a big score, he can improved on his captaincy as well.

Go Aussie.

One more point, I would swap the position of Watson and Warner.

I think Watson would be more comfortable at number 6 then Opener, he doesn't look like he belongs to that position.

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers.
