Talking Ashes 05

McGrath inspires Aussie fightback
England end day one at Lord's 98 runs behind on 92-7 as Glenn McGrath's burst takes him past 500 Test wickets.

Australia won the toss and decided to bat
Australia 1st Innings
190 all out (40.2 overs)
England 1st Innings
92 for 7 (37.0 overs)

I just wanted to congratulate all the Aussie and UK guys and gals here on the site. Some serious ass-kickin took place yesterday. McGrath was world class, incredible stuff. Don`t know whats up with some of the balls that had an unusually low bounce every so often. Can`t wait for today.....................

Cheers,

ok.. I have NO idea what either one of you guys just said.... lol.

I know it's cricket related, but I do not understand the game. How about a quick lesson for us Yankees?

With age McGrath is just getting better and better. Though I hate the Aussie team (in a nice way ofcourse), I think the Brits have come a long way. The way this match is going, it's ending in 3 days. Incredible. 18 wickets in one day..DAYUM!

Australia building ominous lead

First Test, Lord's, day two (tea)
Australia 190 & 140-3; England 155 Match scorecard


Warne took two of the England wickets to fall early on Friday



Australia lost just two wickets between lunch and tea on the second day of the Lord's Test to be 140-3 against England, an overall lead of 175.

In a session of keenly-contested cricket, Matthew Hayden and Ricky Ponting both gave their wickets away when looking set for a big score. Hayden (34) chopped Andrew Flintoff onto his stumps and Ponting (42) played a lame shot to be caught at point. Earlier, England's overnight 92-7 was converted into a total of 155 all out.

WOW guys, this is pretty 1 day stuff here wrapped into a 5 day game. Day 3 will be brilliant!

Cheers,

Nice. I won't be surprised if the tickets starts misbehaving on the 3rd day. I still say it might end the 3rd day

It's a Test Match! You know, where they hit a wood ball with a 2 by 4, everyone wears pants, and they break for tea in the afternoon?!

Not a wood ball. Leather wrapped ball with a cork inside. Very hard and it will knock you out if hit on the head
