5-0 is definitely on the card now :D The Pommies are completely demoralized! They have lost the desire to fight back now. I predict 1 or 2 senior pommies will announce their retirement this week :) I enjoyed reading Piers' hilarious rants on Twitter early this morning :D Staying up all night was truly worth it for me.

Exactly why they are getting smashed...by under estimating a very good Aussie team just as you have done.

The bowling attack in particular have not only been top clas, they have been bowling to specific weaknesses in batsmen and used judiciously by Clarke. Siddle for example getting the same guys every time and Harris not needing to take wickets but bowl to a plan with Johnson firing in.

The poms were under an illusion, they only remembered the 3-0 scoreline and forgot how close the ashes in England really was.

If it didn't rain in Manchester the Aussies would have won that match, and if wasn't for bell the Aussies could have won the series.

Bell was the difference in that series. Cook, trott, pietersen, and prior didn't make any telling contributions, and in Australia that has continued and bell has been kept quite as well.

From what I can tell the pommies are on a suicide mission.
Evertime they see Johnson and that mustache, they feel its better to die quickly then suffer slowly.

That guy is trying his damnest to do his best Dennis Lillee impression.

If he wasn't bowling so well atm I would've been laughing my bee-hind off at his silly mustache.

This is what they did to Daryll Cullinan all those years ago, and trust me, they have a plan for all our batsmen as well.

So best we use this month off to do the same, analyse their batting weaknesses and stick to plan else we're going to come horribly unstuck (like the first test against India, which everyone forgets, was dominated by the Indians until the 4th innings).

You can bet the Aussies have seen Amla's weakness leaving the ball on the line of off stump, Smith we know is prone to off stump nicks, etc.

Smith's also prone to fast left handed bowlers! Especially Zaheer Khan and Mitchell Johnson.

It's also the disadvantage of playing the same team too often.

Hahaha, look at the current Ozzie team :D They never changed since the first 2013-2014 Ashes match in November last year :D It's like a big FU to the pommies, especially, the mastermind, Flower who is known to be the best tactician.

Hey, I found this interesting article written by our Allan Donald!

LOL's at the sledging comment - I wonder if sledging is particularly effective against players in their 2nd language - Tendulkar was probably thinking "like, wtf is this oke saying" given the Aussie English accent.

Lol. Australia's top order collapses again and again, and still England is nowhere close.

This has to be the worst Ashes series ever. Not to mention it's painfully one-sided :mad: What is the point of watching this series when you know it's near impossible for the crappy Oz team to win a single match.

EDIT: #****DRScosItRuinsTheEnjoymentofWatchingATestMatch

The current Ashes series is the best series ever :D Mitchell Johnson's truly a changed man :D 3 years ago I thought he was a hack :D What an unbelievable comeback!

Despite that, 5-0 is still on the card :) I hope Broad gets one of those fiery Mitchell bouncers that will end his career tomorrow when they get to the Pommies' ugly tail.
