Worse than the Waugh/Gillespie one?

:lol:

Nice memory for Dan, nice mammories for Bingle.
It was Elliot you complete faggot. His international career was effectivly ended bacause of it. I know you are dense, but for once try and get something right.
NO!
Seve Waugh and Jason Gillespie,, get your facts right before posting :lol:

"In Australia's 1999 tour of Sri Lanka,Jason Gillespie was involved in a sickening outfield collision when both he and Steve Waugh were running to take a catch, resulting in Waugh's nose and Gillespie's right leg being broken (the catch was not taken)"

Forget it rainmaker, the docile kid has changed his tune and is saying the Mark Waugh/Matt Elliot collision _while batting_ reminded him more of the outfield catch the other day than the Steve Waugh/Jason Gilespie outfield catch attempt in Sri Lanka.

Nice try, Dan. Apples to oranges when there's a clear apples to apples comparison to make.

:lol:

Waugh and Gillespie collide while going for a catch in '99

Waugh and Elliot collide mid pitch resulting in knee surgery for Elliot:

(2nd paragraph)


Sounds like an honest mistake to me - and no reason to derail yet ANOTHER thread into a slagging match :thumbs-up: :rolleyes:


On Topic: A bit of a fightback from Pieterson and Collingwood with some quality batting, and some atrocious bowling from the Aussies.

I think we'll still get this one, but it's not going to be the thrashing that it looked like it was going to be around days 2-3.

the only thing stopping Australia from a win is if those predicted thunder

It was a good day today - saw some great Warnie magic but also a Pieterson fightback. If Australia end up winning, like it seems they should, and Warne takes at least another one or two wickets, it will be interesting to see who get man of the match, him or McGrath, or maybe Ponting.

The big challenge for England on the last day now will be to have enough batsmen stick around with Pieterson. ALso, if he goes they are well and trully stuffed. At least it is a bit more interesting now, seeing some great mind games between batsmen and bowlers.

It was on today! Many words were being spoken - especially between Warne and Pieterson - like when Warne threw the ball and almost collected Pieterson. I don't reckon they're best mates anymore after what I've seen so far this test!

I think England will be doing the raindance tonight because I don't think they've got enough batting left to last a full day tomorrow. Hell, even if we can't get Pieterson out, then lets just get the rest of 'em :)


The good thing is, that this series might not be a waste of time afterall, England seem to have got their batting sort of together, if they can get their bowling and fielding down as well it will be a great next few tests! :thumbs-up:

Ponting by a mile, Warne got smacked all over the park.

I think it may be a draw, rain tomorrow arvo, maybe England can hold on.
