I haven't looked at the scores or the game other than this thread but all I'll say is don't get your hopes up. If the wicket is so good England can get 500 the Aussies will get 800. Whatever we do they'll do better. We're the sixth-best cricket team in the world according to the rankings, behind Sri Lanka, roughly as good as New Zealand. Sorry to be such a miserable bastard but come on, it's the England cricket team. I'm just trying to ignore the whole Ashes thing as it's just not going to go well for us.
