THE ASHES THREAD - AUS v ENG

[...aTrueASL]

Can't get to see it on telly. Is it a seamers track? The poms will do well to get close.

Yes, it is and the ball is swinging both ways. I know I have put him down a lot but, Johnson bowled really well.

 

[...aTrueASL]

Oh yes, should probably mention that Johnson took 6 wkts.

Seems being dropped for a game did him the world of good

Yeah and the knock he had with bat probably helped with his confidence too.

Latest - Aus 32/1 (overall lead of 113).

 

[BBSA]

Latest - Aus 80/3 (overall lead of 161).

Ponting out for 1

Game has been swift. 23 wickets. And it's not even end of day 2.

More like 'swinging' rather than 'seaming'. The balls that got Trott and Pietersen moved a long way in air. And he is doing it 'across the seam'

 

[Creag]

Do not think the poms will come back from this deficit. Although they have shown incredible tenacity when backs atte to the wall.

They don't have onions on this tour/game. He can't save them again...

To true

Seriassly though, Cook, Trott and maybe Bell could save the day.

 

[pulling wire]

Would like to see the Aussies win this one, at least it will keep things interesting going into the last two tests. I think we are going to see a convincing win from Australia for a change.

 

[Creag]

...and so which team would you prefer to see win the Ashes?

For me it's England *spit* *hack*

/can't believe I just said that

 

[SinghDude]

*spit* *spit* *hackkkkkkkkkkkkkk*

Aussie's winning will make the series a bit more interesting....

That said... SA chased over 400, not over yet.

May I join you... *spit* *wretch* *vomit*

There's always hope

 

[killadoob]

It's time like these that i am glad Kp left .

Hope is all but gone. You must know how poor england are to get rolled so easily by this aus team. Without SA performing they look dreadful

Selectors have been poor, not convinced enough to come over!!!!!

 

[Creag]

Cannot believe this is the same side which thrashed Australia by an innings a week back

Me too - last time they made a special edition Marmite that is now impossible to find . . .

Draw, with both sides sustaining life-threatening injuries.

 

[Creag]

Nothing wrong, actually could not think of a more perfect end

 

[SinghDude]

lol...that seems perfect.

Aussies should wrap this up fairly quickly tomorrow !
