The Ashes Thread

And at times he can be one our best batsman.

[Guest Cashmiesta]

Yeah but Collingwood has played well the past week but meh. bring back Darren Gough:P Goughie can be our captain lol but seriously, who do the selectors leave out Collingwood when you've got someone like Bell in too.?

Bell is the one to drop. I'm sick and tired of him always getting the nod over better batsmen. Still Butcher will be fit again soon

I still can't believe we didn't play Pietersen AND Thorpe instead of Bell...Much the better option....Oh well....

Well I think I'll be at the park tomorrow if anyone wants to come say hi...I might even take my bat for a knock around....

[Guest Cashmiesta]

what do u look like? i might say hey with my friends n have a few bowls with you thats if i can be arsed for the 15 mile trip lol.

Heh heh I'm an all-round good-lookin' guy probably wearing a cap, lip piercing, stubble, 6'1", pretty well built, red rose in my lapel....Forget the rose...

Though the weather gotta get better than this for me to bother....

Anyway two great first overs, Harmison was great and glad to see Hayden go first ball!

99 Ahead going into the second innings.

This can go either way, England can collapse and leave the Aussies with 200 to win, or we could notch up another 400 and leave them with 500 to win.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Hopefully the latter.

Now I'm VERY jealous about my friends who got tickets to SUnday's play...That could be THE day!

[Ace]

I'm hopeful. We've played pretyy OK so far with England playing a little better but how was that last wicket by Warney huh?

You guys are gonna be in trouble today if he keeps turning them like that.

[Dan]

Warne might break his leg while he sleeps ¬_¬

[FLiam]

Fuck sake.

We are shit. We are going to end up losing after such a great start to the test.

And why does Trescothick play those silly fucking shots and get caught behind. I swear that is the only way he has ever been out.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Trescothick's ALWAYS out like that, it winds me up.

And I wish some of these umpires would grow some backbone and ignore the frenzied screaming of Warne and Gilchrist...

[therockbox]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHWAAWAAAARGH.

[Michael]

My God we are fucked. Were in such a great position too. I thought the England team had finally got some bottle but looks like I was wrong.

And there goes Jones to a nasty nasty ball.....

We're 200 ahead, we need the remnants of the tail to wag. A 260 lead on this disintegrating pitch might be just about okay...

[TheArsenal]

If our last few batsmen can do well then hopefully we'll be able to scrape through this test.

The Flintoff/Giles partnership has done well in the past, hopefully our 4 batsman can keep in log enough and leave them chasing 300 runs.

[lazy_arse]

156-9 and Flintoff has just about run out of partners. Gotta give him great credit playing with that injury. Hopefully it won't affect his bowling because I think he's going to be really important for us.

[FLiam]

Bwahahahahahahaha.

9 men on the boundry or however you spell it. This is brilliant.

[lazy_arse]

They fear Freddy.

[TheArsenal]

Still managed to find the boundary!

Hopefully Flintoff and Jones can keep going. With a 260 lead I feel we'll still need a few more yet.

[lazy_arse]

Out of the fucking ground!!
