Tim2 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Not wishing to tempt fate but we are batting quite good. Peter Osbourne of the Spectator says that Pieterson should be dropped and Thorpe coming in for Pierterson. I disagree Pieterson has had this huge repuation from the ODIs and he started ok in his first test apart from the dropped catches. But I think that he will learn how to bat a test innings over time.

Raybouldinho Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 64.5 Lee to Strauss, no run, full and outside the off, Strauss flashes at it and edges, Gilchrist takes the catch but barely appeals. Lee screams for the dismissal but is turned down That was most certainly an edge. Surprising lack of enthusiasm from the keeper and slip Hmmm, from cricinfo, seems the Aussies missed that one!

Paul Bacon Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Interesting point make on the radio saying "If we lose the Ashes, its due to the selectors not picking Thorpe".

Andrew Jolly Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 just been listening to TMS, and they've been talking about their team of the series on Ashes form - what do people say here?
