The Ashes Thread

[number11]

Seeing WICKET! appear on my screen is improving my day!

Still, off to make someone homeless now, muwhahahaha!

Jesus....just spent 10 minutes on the phone talking someone through the redundancy process and look back here and we take 2 wickets!


Come on England!!! - I think you are often a spineless lethargic bunch who would rather go and hit DLF maximums than tough out a dogged hundred, but win this test and I will love you forever....

BEAUTIFUL!!!:clap:

er no it's 113/7.

Or from 73/0 it equates to 40/7.

Amid all the excitement....well done to Ravi - finally out for 201!!

 

[Jay_Shrimper]

Eek. Not sure where my maths went to just then!! :unsure:

 

[BrettieAngell]

Actually 38-7, 7th wicket was for 111.

As I type another wicket has fallen!

 

[Pubey]

Johnson gone!!!

 

[Pubey]

real chance of Swann getting a 5fer as well, when was the last time two bowlers did that in an innings?

 

[Jay_Shrimper]

What a magnificent session.

Tea now.

Follow on avoided, though personally I wouldnt have enforced it anyway. With so much time left in the game Id rather us bat and hopefully get a big lead, let their bowlers make some more footmarks and our batters run up and down the wickets, then give ourselves two days to bowl them out......

Being there yesterday, it was obvious that it isn't a trditional Oval pitch - I honestly think we needed a low-scoring match if we want to win this game. 330 isn't too far below par on it at all. If we put the ball in the right areas today, we'll take wickets, and Swann is goin to be the most important player in the rest of this game.

Don't you just love it when I'm right? :)

Don't you just love it when I'm right? :)

But chose the wrong football team,never mind.

A solid first hour for England, which included a terrific not out decision by Rauf of the first ball of the day. Strauss passes 50, England 102/3 (274/3).

Yeah great bit of umpiring, there was a definite noise and I thought it was out!
