The Ashes 2010

Here we go again. Pitch looking fairly docile so far, but Watson was absolutely gagging to get out today. Third time and he's out for five. Reasonable start, but although the English bowlers getting something out there not too much. Slow run rate too, thinking maybe a bit of sleep might be overtaking me, been awake for around 18 hours now after my big shift today.

We are kicking their motherfucking arses! What a great performance! Bowled them out for under a hundred and now the openers have put together a century partnership. We look fantastic and the Aussies just can't do a thing. Spectacular.

I say, well done ol chaps .

Hope you'se win.

It's a bit shocking really, if it carries on like this the match will be over within 3 days.

I think I stayed awake to 50 or 60 something for four, then my eyes betrayed me and I ended up fast asleep. Nice figures to wake up to though. Ricky Ponting, this song is for you:

We are looking pretty grand right now. If we can build up a lead of 600 we will have 2 and a half days to bowl them out and no way they will be able to reach that score in a second innings. Half their batsmen look shot tbh. Ricky Ponting as the captain has been exceptionally poor with the bat.

It seems like it really was another batting pitch as our boys haven't had much trouble with it, but it seems the Aussies are having a crisis of confidence, and once one or two things start going wrong, they all seem to lose heart.

I would just like to tempt fate by being the first on this thread to congratulate England on retaining the Ashes!
