The Championship Chronicles - The Jetstream's review of the 2007/08 season. www.newcastlefootball.net/chronicles
i can't pretend to comprehend the pressure of being in the middle, but man it seems like the aussie batsmen are really, really dumb.
Steve Smith In ... Shaun Marsh Out and we winning that game
The big issues have to be dealt with....

FFS.
Backstreet cricket???? Backyard... haha Slowly ruining the essence of the game
Amigos Aarau
that's quite funny.
kohli proving once again that australian batting is in a terrible way.
all through the first innings the commentators were talking about how the pitch was "doing things" and was "tough to get started on". drivel. australia are about 100 runs short. one of the three players that got 50's should have gone on to get a century. we aren't good enough.
There was a great pitch at the WACA - again, beige cricket on drop in pitches in a massive bowl with zero atmosphere.
I'm enjoying the fact that the ball has a slight advantage over bat so far this series
Starc and Hazelwood getting 2 blokes absolutely clean bowled yesterday with ripping deliveries was brilliant to watch. Give me 4 innings in the 220-350 mark anyday.
Proper contest.
Peak-Marsh shot there to get himself out.
That no great insight we are at our weakest in general quality since the early to mid 80s
Least then we had Alan Border trying to hold the side together with some test match quality batting until blokes developed
Cricket Australia on the other hand have decided to sit out tgeir best batsmen for beuracracy BS
I dont think Oz are 100 runs short
They are about 100 in front as the Indians just had the best of the batting conditions and are still behind on the first innings
I would rather be in Australuas position because even with our batting collapses etc we are still gonna have a target to defend and the history of Test Cricket says chasing in the 4th innings is not easy
The indian quicks were poor both innings so far. (and in adelaide they were terrific).
Good pace but their length is all wrong.
If they are bowling to a plan then the plan is wrong.
They should be all over these B team Aussie bats
ive really enjoyed listening to Justin Langer talk about cricket since hes been appointed coach.
there is a level of honesty and genuine interest in letting 'the fans' know whats going on.
AFL coaches are known as being consistently good communicators.
i feel he'll play a huge role in 'winning back' the public post sandpaper-gate.
They will win the public back
It rather bizarre listening to all these ****s going on about the polite sledging going on out there and how they are enjoying it
Its exactly how you sledge in the first place
Subtle
It dont have to be in your face brutal
A good sledge isnt hard
ie In the golf course pointing out a bunker or water
Can magically see your opponent **** up
Not hard
Not brutal
