The Ashes Thread.

[Bettyboo]

Piss Poor Performance, but the Ashes in the bag, so job done. &, we can't hide from the fact that we need to improve: find a decent opener from somewhere at the very least.

[Bobcock]

Haha...spoke too soon....bell out the second I pressed Send......

Root in now.... 300 partnership or the game is as cooked as the series was before this game.....

BTW anyone see the 'Root in commentary box' moment..... Priceless.... I love Bumble.....

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

Have to say; I really like Joe Root as a player. A bit Gowerish in his batting style but so cheeky you cannot help but dislike him as an opposition fan

[baldrick]

Starc bowling well , Siddle bowling well - a few wickets to come

Lyon is a sight as he releases the ball - the snarl , the sunscreen , the bulging eyes, the sun glinting of his dome and the 2 big paddles on the side of his head stabilising it as he sights his lob

and Lyon gets Bairstow for 26, caught Voges

eng 140 for 4 , 192 to go

and then Lyon gets Stokes for a duck , caught Clarke

eng 140-5

[chassamui]

Keep Siddle on. I can't stand the sight of the ugly fat fuk, so it's no surprise he keeps getting gifted wickets. Who would want to look at the slob bouncing toward you all day with that flabby face like a pitchforked baby.

[cyrille]

Nice to see some Aussie posters able to stay awake after lunch for this one.

[kingwilly]

Sorry, the excitement of a dead rubber is kinda overpowering my urge to post. Not sure if I am happy the Aussies can play or annoyed that they didn't play when it counted.

[Bobcock]

Dirty cheat that Voges..........

[Bobcock]

The only thing of interest here is to get the hundred Cook so well deserves.... After that let's wrap up the series to the urn can return to it's rightful owner......

[kingwilly]

Will the Aussies need to bat again? Not looking likely. As for the urn, ya cheating bastards never let us take it anyway. It stays in English hands, rightfully (sometimes) and wrongly (most of the time since the 70s or so).

[Bobcock]

Delusional.....

We won more series in the 80s and we have won 5 out of the last 7....

and still you lot believe that this series win is 'the end of an era'.....

[Bobcock]

Shit, I rebooted the laptop and Cook is out.....

[Loy Toy]

They say you are only as good as your last game................

This ashes series has put paid to that old saying.

Total crap.

The Ashes.

Series wins are equal, but the Aussies have won more tests. 123 to 103.

What he said..

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

Just like old times eh..

[baldrick]

Siddle .... I can't stand the sight of the ugly fat fuk .... Who would want to look at the slob

you women may continue to critique his figure

but the men know which figures really count

16 overs, 10 maidens, one wicket for 14
