The Ashes 2010

Who won?

I dont give a fuk who does.

I'll Play, but I cant sit and watch others playing it; like golf.

We're down to the fifth day of the first test (this goes on for about 6 weeks!) with England ahead by 88 with 1 wicket down in the second innings. I think this'll come home a draw, hopefully England declare about 300-350 ahead and have a go at rattling the Aussies out. However, I expect they'll go conservatively for the draw rather than an outside chance of a win, with an outside chance of a loss.

Shit eh, exciting stuff!

I did have to go to sleep in the end.... looks like there might be a few draws in this series, could be 1-0 either way!

Top notch cricket all round, important for England to put Australia back in to bat, Cook and Trott could have carried on for as long as they wanted to but putting them back in showed that the recovery was complete. A world of difference between avoiding defeat and having a stab at winning, different mentality about this England team.

The batting of both sides looks strong in these conditions, the problem again in Adelaide will be taking 20 wickets.

Im hoping to be made redundant in the next week or two so I can watch it properly

I thought it was a fair enough test, but you hope for a more fun wicket than this in future tests. The bowling attack on both sides is less than enticing, so you need a fair wicket to spruce things up a bit. It was all about the batsmen in this except for England being a bit average in the first innings.

Fair point, but I think the big-time bowlers aren't really in-form either, neither Swann nor Johnson really at their devastating best. A wicket with more in it, plus those two hitting a hot streak would make for a very interesting series!

Great first day, we need to pick up with the bat where we left off and really put them under the cosh. If we can put 450 on the board their arseholes will be going.

Anyone know what Ponting was ranting about at the end?
