Thread: The Ashes

It will be all over by lunch.

Lets hope so.

First over of the day and piertson is out without adding to his score!

yes that was a nice touch - bodes well....

7 out now, the end is nigh

another one bites the dust.

8............

It will be interesting to see how england bounce back from this, personally I don't think the side is good enough..... The lack of depth is so apparent, Australia could lose 3 top line batsmen to injury and they'd not look any weaker. We really don't have that depth and bowling wise we are even worse.

3 - 0 series and that's optomistic....

8/351

alomst 9 but falls just short of warne in the slips

1 more to go! 9/361

quite clinical in the end. less than an hour and a half to tidy up the tail end.

Just enough time for channel 9 to do their presentations and have it all wrapped up before the lunch break in time to head out and have a beer for lunch.


1-0

second innings a bit more encouraging, if the boys attack warne and co then maybe they'll get a bit closer next time, still think 5-0 to the aussies unfortunately.

did we win?

Its only the 1st of 5 we played poorly but we can take heart from the 2nd innings, it was nice to see Warney losing his cool at last they seems to be a chink in this superb cricketers armour. Monty is a must for Adelaide as our attack needs some bite if we win the toss and bat this wicket will take turn on day 3 and he will take wickets. You Aussies ain't seen him yet and are in for a surprise this boy turns the ball and has great control. It pains me to say it but we were totally out classed by you Aussies this time but this England team has fight in it and their going to come back strong we will not lay down like previous touring squads all you've done is strengthen their will to win.

Where have you been???


No you bloody didn't!

news that will no doubt delight all England cricket fans:

Aussies to go with single spinner

Team (unchanged):
Australia squad: Ricky Ponting (capt), Adam Gilchrist (wkt), Stuart Clark, Michael Clarke, Matthew Hayden, Mike Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Justin Langer, Brett Lee, Damien Martyn, Glenn McGrath, Shaun Tait, Shane Warne.

^ exactly - where the hell is MacGill ????

adelaide is always a spinners track.

another stoopid decision.

we might let u dicks win this series in spite of yourselves, (much like last time!)

Looks like we are going to play both our spinners, got me fingers crossed we will give you a game this time.

mcGill not picked. Stuck with the same team...apparently, Gilly is not a happy chappy..

I'm sure there's a few Aussies who've played county cricket in the last few years.


MacGill unhappy or Gilchrist??
