A good days played. Obviously in favour of England atm. But if we get into Anderson, then knock over Collingwood cheaply. Hopefully a few wickets to fall.
Big day tomorrow. SCG is turning pink for Jane Mcgrath day. The ladies stand will be renamed the jane mcgrath stand. I am wearing a black shirt pink tie and a a cheap pair of pink girly sunnies for the cause.Sydney 11/02/2003

Glad you enjoyed your day.
I thought the whole day was brilliant and the response to the McGrath Foundation day was all part of the entertainment.
It was a shame that when Cook was out the Australian team just seemed to ignore him. They may be getting a spanking but show some sportsmanship. Not sure what to think about the Hughes and Bell incidents. How does the technology fail, no hotspot on Bell's bat but the snickometer indicating Bell had hit it? I can understand Hughes appealing for the catch but was a bit surprised when the other fielders leapt into the air. They must have seen it wasn't a catch.
Roll on tonight!0 -
If the ball just skims the edge, the proximity of the hot spot camera plays a part. Obviously the closer you are, the more chance you have of catching those small edges.
As for Hughes, I am not too sure as I didn't have a good look. But wasn't there a referral in the last test where Swann thought he caught Siddle and it went up stairs? Bounced well infront of him. Nobody called him a cheat.
I didn't notice the Aussies reaction to cook. Probably just relief that they got him, plus it was a good catch. You will be pleased to know that I gave a standing ovation for Cook at 100 and Bell... Both when they reached their milestone and also when they got out.Sydney 11/02/2003

chappelli shouldve smashed him when he had the chance in the southern car park in adelaide a few weeks ago.Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.0 -
bulls ...he knew he had not caught that ball...he was cheating ..simple.
bell might(yes might) not have felt he hit the ball..and no hot spot..so you cant blame him for that..the snicko sound could have come from somewhere else.
but if bell knew he hit it then he should walk...i just dont think he knew.
and warne said he didnt like to see what hughes did .so its not just beefy.<img src="http://i740.photobucket.com/albums/xx46/tremors25/thefixerthrilla1.gif" align="left">

Well I for one believe that if you edge the ball, you know if you have or haven't. No matter how fine the edge.
As they said in commentary, they said it was a tactical challenge. The commentators said (and these commentators included Grieg and Nicholas so not just bias Aussies) he went down to Prior and said 'did you hear it? is it faint enough?
I don't think he should have walked, but he shouldn't have challenged. He would have known he hit it. No doubt in my mind. And just more luck that has gone England's way in the last few years.
As for Hughes if you look at his reaction, he got the ball in less that half a second from the bat to his hands. He went to put his hands in the air like
'oh that was close' and someone
(probably Clarke) said 'I think you got it'
Then Hughes was like, 'maybe I have, yeah'
As for Bell, he isn't a cheat, but he cheated the system.Sydney 11/02/2003

Well looks like England won't even have to bat a second innings, again. 3rd time this series we have lost by an innings. Australian cricket really is in a bad state at the moment.condescending and sarcastic since 19800
