The Official Ashes 2013 Thread - ENG vs AUS

[Frankie23]

So the first Test is under way - Any predictions on who will be walking away with the coveted urn this time around?

England go into the series as overwhelming favourites.

 

[Wall]

this is an awesome start for Australia and Siddle.

England: 201/6 after 55. Siddle has a Michelle

Stuart Broad fielded at mid-on in that last over, threw a ball back to Matt Prior and looked in some discomfort, a shake of the head followed. Very bad sign for England...

Pommies vs Poms.


Teuchter.

Australia in disarray. 114/8

 

[OMB]

117/9, sheesh

 

[Creag]

This collapse is pitiful. Almost smacks of a choke.

 

[Wall]

Agar is giving them a chance. Only 50 runs behind now.

I missed the first day of play yesterday, what's with the rpm gauge that comes up every so often?

[Frankie23]

England are cocking this up royally.

 

[MickeyD]

72 off 88 balls ...

Agar 48*

 

[MickeyD]

Agar 50* on debut - last man in

Great to watch (even if he's an Aussie!!!)

Agar looks like a proper batsmen. That six of Swann was classy.

 

[OMB]

anyone else think that it's a bizarre twist that the ultimate Aussie vs Pom series is being sponsored by a South African company

 

[Icarium]

I don't want the Aussies to win, but I do want the Poms to lose. What a dilemma.

Anyway, as long as we get to see some good cricket along the way, I'm happy.

 

[OMB]

Agar is looking classy, playing some beautiful shots
