Gonna be an intteresting series, though getting Freddie fit is gonna be critical. Thankfully Harmison has started to show some form, but Jones the Fast will be another big loss along with Vaughan.

That said, Cook looks like he has the temperement, Bell has come along nicely and genuine competition for the wicketkeepers job is healthy.

Gonna be a good series, but I fancy australia to win it.....hope the UBC package is available again....oops...my UBC is illegal....I won't be able to order it.....SHIT!!!

^ Are you a Pom, Bob?

Recruiting more Indians & Pakistanis into the lineup might help.

I did say MIGHT.

Buckleys mate, Buckleys

How will England retain the ashes?

With consummate ease.

**daveboy** · 11-08-2006, 02:04 AM

I think Jones is going to be fit from the third test onwards, but we will have it wraped up by then.

Just like how they were going to win the world cup?

They even made plans for a victory celebration! Twats.

Did I predict that?

The Poms have no chance of retaining the Ashes. They might win a game against Tasmania 'A' but that'll be about it.

Have to agree 100% here.

They will struggle,still, nothing like talking up a team that is going to get done.

**kingwilly** · 13-08-2006, 12:10 PM

the POMS are good at talking themselves up......

i'm hoping it will be an intersting series, but i fear it might be a whitewash ( of the poms u twat b4 u even reply to that MtD! )

Were talking cricket here not football, your national sport which currently we are better at than you are.

There is no chance of England winning.

No chance at all and I will put money on it with anyone silly enough to take me on.

In that case i assume that you'll be quite happy to give me....what shall we say 1000/1, 100/1?....i tell you what, even though they've apparently got no chance at all, i'll be even fairer to you. If you give me 10/1 i'll match as much as you like.

**MeMock** · 13-08-2006, 05:56 PM

If you think England will win then bet away, no odds, dollar for dollar pound for pound

**blackjack** · 13-08-2006, 06:03 PM

Bell has come along nicely

And there was me thinking that you just said that you were prepared to bet that England have no chance at all. I must have been imagining things, or maybe you're not as confident as your original proposition made you sound.

Well actually your not, we're still No.1 and you guys are only No.2 because you have just beat a Pakistan B side

**Marmite the Dog** · 15-08-2006, 11:13 AM

We're number 3 actually.

1 Australia 130Pts
2 Pakistan 120Pts
3 England 113Pts

Nice to know we've beaten the top two recently.

**Marmite the Dog** · 15-08-2006, 11:23 AM

Actually, that table appears to be out of date.

We should be second after beating the Pakis.

**machangezi** · 15-08-2006, 10:28 PM

I might be wrong but you won't get to number 2 even if England beats us Pakis.

**machangezi** · 15-08-2006, 10:35 PM
