First day, 2 down, The Ball and chain Jonathan Trott and the swashbuckling Kevin Pieterson to bat for the rest of the day at least and really turn the screw.
I loves the Ashes I do ;D
The Aussies dont look that strong. Get um under the cosh and keep them there.
I will be paying close attention as usual, but this is the least hyped I've been for an Ashes series ever. Too used to winning now! England 4 down now.
you Brits do not want to be “easing” yourselves into the series. So much goddam buildup and tension giving me butterfliesd in my stomach that you just feel relieved to be able to get the gear on and play cricket.Quote:

Bastards! ;D
:o hit some balls fuck australia and now it is in the hands of the gods.
180 - 6 Perfect start! Twats.
no worries, by the time we reach Lord's in London it will be apparent who dominates.....but goddam 500 quid for the grandstand fuck!!
We?
Brock and I are going on a cricket date, what of it?
:( First test, first innings, good pitch, crap bowling attack. Bowled out for under 250 in less than a day.

Rugby, Tennis now Cricket? When does the football season start?
Sorry @Memphis but cricket is the only sport that makes swinging a bat gay!
No that's baseball.Quote:

Just managed to catch the highlights on five last night. The seam positio that Anderson was sending down was a thing of beauty, by comparison Finn looked like he was lobbing house bricks at the batsmen. Both of them were moving it about in the air and off the pitch. Makes you wonder if its all in the conditions.
Utter carnage ;D
I wish I'd taken a couple of days off and watched this at the pub. Anderson is managing to work his magic on the ball making a mockery of my previous post about it all being down to the conditions ;D
All out for under 150 would be nice.
I seem to systematically ruining Englands chances with my wayward predictions.
With that in mind Australia will make 250 and we'll be all out in our second innings for 175.
Watch me start getting it right now.
On the quiet you know I think Boycott quite likes the Aussies.

I have played it at school and they use to call me Boycott because i would make runs very slowly, so that qualifies me too.Quote:

Odds on being next to pick up the ashes
England 6/4
Aussies 3/1
Winnie Mandela 1/3
Australia bang in trouble here. If at any point during this series we bat properly its going to get really uncomfortable for them.
