The Ashes

[Spatzy]

Aussies are flying at the moment, good help the england bowlers.

 

[Skippy]

They are indeed doing well

Could do with getting the run rate up a bit thou.

 

[Spatzy]

the aussies are taking the mick now!

666 - 5...4 centuries in all of that. imagine there wasnt an end to the game, we would be here untill the hockey season!

 

[Finny]

Is it me or did the england players have no urgency or desire in the field today?

im in work so im not watching it...but by the looks of things they are just rubbish lol

 

[Ger-Devils]

It's awful to watch. They're luck there's rain and seems to be in for the night

20 - 2 england now...i think this will be a win for the aussies!

 

[Ger-Devils]

Can't see anymore play today then the aussies have 90 overs to bowl them out

 

[Spatzy]

Monty Panasaer! What a legend, anyone else watch the last couple of hours last night? it was awsome.

 

[Ger-Devils]

Englands bowling and batting in some places will have to improve massively in the next test otherwise it will be an easy win for the aussies. 4 batsmen getting a century each shouldn't be happening

i did indeed sit and what the last 11 overs where Anderson and Monty played some perfect shots, Monty even hit 4 hahaha, the crowd were absolutly brilliant,

My late prediction 3-0 to Australia.

 

[Ger-Devils]

Not a bad start by England but starting to drop quite easily. Only straight ball Johnson had bowled in about 20 overs! Nice ball by Hilfenhaus to dismiss Bopara

 

[Rempel16]

I could see Collingwood and Strauss putting on a bit of a stand now though. Strauss looking settled and Collingwood is mr. consistant at the moment!

 

[ledgend777]

Strauss only 16 runs away from his record.

How does he qualify to play for England or how does it work in Cricket? I have a look on wikipaedia and it says he was born in South Africa but I didn't see why he can play for England - is it residency or are his parents / grandparents English or something? It's a debate often brought up in all sports, but I think you should only be able to play for the country where you were born.

i think its to do with you parents, because pieterson was also born in south africa.

 

[Ger-Devils]

1-0 england then

 

[Holl_5]

Flintoff was awesome today. A fantastic last Test match at Lords for him!
