Ashes people!!!
The Aussies are on the ropes but its still anyones game!

Im sure there is someone here who will love to chear, taunt, sweat, cry (and to some extent make inteligent comments) with me!!!

So put you're national flag up on your lawn and pop open a tinnie, its Ashes time!!!
:Brain: :Brain:

COME ON YOU ENGLAND!!!

Pfft the Aussies have no chance. Their team is old and knackered. Sorry Kearnsey, but it's the truth.

We all know the Auzzies are in for a good kicking. Play this game to eliminate some of that cricket boredom!

The Aussies may be getting over the hill, but Warne's still unmatched as today's play has shown, and you can never underestimate the ability of the England cricket team to collapse and throw away a lead - they nearly did it in the 4th test and they've started on their series lead today...

Well yeah, you call some of the team... seasoned veterans.
Then there are some others that act almost old yet arnt close to it (Michael Clarke)
A guy in his twenties and he has back problems and wont slide al the time [but when he does!!!!] is a bit of a worry.

Still im really pleased to see English side finding some competitve form. It brought a real force back into the international scene and win or lose Im glad to see that there still live in the old mother land yet!!!

Heres hoping Hayden get into double figures!!! LOL

I reckon Hayden should be out and Hussey in.

And it was quite a poor performance from the aussie fast bowlers. Warne should not have to come on within the first 13 overs of play.

They tried to explain why I should care about this on the radio yesterday. They did not succeed.

wasnt one of the tests (4th I heard) a draw, somehow?
Ive heard its 2-1 to england sofar, and the draw.. can anyone confirm this is the way the first 4 tests have been won?

That is correct. (ahhh Billy Madison!)

Yeah its 2-1 to England and 1 draw. If england draws or wins they get the ashes, but if Australia wins the series is a tie and the Aussies retain the ashes because they hold them currently.

Hope that clears it up a bit.

Stupid rain!!!!!!!!!! :ranting:

The third was a draw thanks to England not declaring early enough to allow themselves time to bowl out the aussies.
