2009 Ashes Series - England vs. Australia **Spoilers**

Spawn has piped up again, when England were on top he was nowhere to be seen?

Awful 4th test buts an English collapse is tradition but in 2 innings, this is the best we have to offer from the country?
 
Just watched today's highlights. What a collapse! awful batting. I can understand that Australia bowled well but some of the shots England were 'playing' were shots to try when you're 300 ahead, not behind!
 
A summary of this Test so far:

English Crowd: Booooo!
Ponting: Tonk!
Clarke: Tonk!
North: Tonk!
Crowd: Sigh...
Australian Fans: LOL
 
Haven't managed to see/listen to anything because I have been away. Hopefully (or not, as the case may be) I'll grab something online. Were we really as bad as it seems?

  • England's first innings: all out for 102

  • Australia's first innings: all out for 445

  • England's second innings: currently at 5 for 82

Let's just say there's room for improvement.

Thanks for the bullet points. I'm guessing you work in marketing :p I got the scores, just missing the actual "ball-by-ball", as it were :)

Judging by the responses; I'll get drunk before I watch the highlights :(

Close; I'm an account manager. Had a lot of practice preparing for quarterly business meetings with the CEOs. ;)

It might be wise.

And so what??...cant handle a bit of ribbing can you:rolleyes:...ive always been around making comments even when England were on top although i was in Dallas at the time but i did offer my congrats to England for beating the Aussies....took you a very long time to do it.

Get over yourself Cheets but then if it makes you feel better by having a pop at me then go for it...im just sat here laughing that my posts wind you up to the extent you have to mention my name:D
 
If they were considering playing Trott in today's match, he should be given Bopara's place for the Oval without question, having failed miserably all series. Flintoff can come in for Harmison as a straight swap.

Meh not overly bothered, it's 1-1 and everything to play for at the Oval - ask any Englishman if they would take that scoreline going into the final Test at the start of the series and they'd be pretty happy.

Onwards and upwards :p
 
Yes but it isn't just about the result, it's about the way you play and the way you represent your country.

This gutless display is embarrassing.
