*****Official Ashes thread*****

[Azza]

Here we go.

 

[Caseh]

She's in at number 3 apparently, decent batting average.

Looking at this, we could have done with her!

 

[Locky]

England usual crap self, will they even make 200?

 

[LOAM]

I cant see how the 3rd umpire can say that's hit the pad first when Roots bat is in front of his pad. However, it was so close decision had to stand I guess.

 

[Gilly]

Pietersen gone

 

[Cosimo]

Oh dear, Pietersen, 28-3. Unbelievable.

 

[rotters]

Oh dear.

 

[rotters]

Did anyone tell them its not a 20:20 game.

 

[Locky]

England in for a thrashing it seems.

 

[Brummies]

Shocking.

 

[LOAM]

I'm not one for cricket pessimism but this looks over :|

 

[platypus]

Oh. Dear.

I knew the Aussies would come back at us this test but crikey.

 

[rotters]

Locky your quite a negative fella. Any chances of a "come on England".

 

[Locky]

Looks like it's Ian Bell's job to do something again.

 

[Uhtred]

Why don't the hotspot cameras have higher frame rates?

 

[Locky]

Locky your quite a negative fella. Any chances of a "come on England".

Negative is the wrong word, I would call it realistic.

 

[rotters]

I love the drama of it all. I personally think its been some bloody good bowling. Come on England sort it out!

 

[platypus]

Negative is the wrong word, I would call it realistic.

No it is negative. How can you possibly say that England are in for a thrashing when its the first innings of the test and England have a better bowling lineup?

 

[McBain]

Joe Root, lol.

Average in 3 innings, 13.6, that's opening batting ability right there.

 

[Locky]

No it is negative. How can you possibly say that England are in for a thrashing when its the first innings of the test and England have a better bowling lineup?

Do they?, they got massively lucky last test?
