The Ashes Thread

[Uncle Leo]

Does'nt that prick personify the typical big mouthed Aussie (we have better weather then you) moron.

Pretty much. Even by Aussie standards he's a one-eyed mug.

 

[Uncle Leo]

quite right, the old Mac is on there thrice, even Gillespie made it!

Always surpirsed me that Atherton never got on there. Am I right in thinking his best at HQ for England was 99?

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Got him! Yeah, **** off, you're out!

 

[samib]

C'mon Onions! 2 in 2 balls!

Wasnt he run out, slipping going for the all important 3rd! Gotta feel for him if so!

Onions gets his third of the morning. And it's a big 'un!

 

[EastStandBlue]

I'm not sure how good a bat the sub keeper will be, hopefully we'll knock them over for less than 275.

sub 300 would be excellent, especially after yesterday.

hahaha this is brilliant! Mitchell Johnson could be a nuisance, hopefully we'll demolish the tail alongside him

 

[Swiss Tony]

I'm now very moist.

 

[Pubey]

and Johnson has gone! ****ing unbelievable stuff!!!!!!!

 

[Grayson]

As great as this is, I fear us being 80-5 in reply with the ball swinging like this.

 

[EastStandBlue]

Get in boy... Manou goes to Anderson. 203-8

 

[blues_r_best]

203-8 now.

 

[canveyshrimper]

I'll revise my 275 to 225.

It's well and good the ball swinging, but the bowlers have to get in the right areas to have success, which Onions & Anderson have done this morning.

Very close H. The over/under line with Ladbrokes is 227.5.

I've been working on my flat since 9, it got to about ten to 11 and i considered having a little break to watch some cricket, but after how comfortable the Aussies were yesterday i decided to plough on with my work, was gobsmacked when i saw the score at half 11 and have had it on since.. C'mon England, lets wrap this up in the first couple of overs after lunch and set about batting till Sunday lunchtime
