The Ashes Thread

[9 to 5]

Go go my little english brethren....enjoy your ashes victory. It's just a pity for you that noone in Australia cares

Bothered you enough to post whist trying to dismiss it off as nothing tbh.

Warne just hit two 6's in a row :|

And I think it's about the same, Cricket is probably our second sport, just ahead of rugby.

Going by public viewing figures cricket is about our seventh sport right now some how beyind footy, rugby (both league and union), tennis and goodness knows what else other rubbish sports.

Cricket is where it is.

And Harmison's last ball of the day! That made it all for me. Beautiful.

Finally England seem psyched up even after an awful batting display in the second innings.

I may be Australian and I might have an insane amount of Aussie Pride but...

We're screwed

[Dan]

FUCK YES

[MDK]

Cor, what an ending. I don't normally watch cricket, especially these long arse test matches, but damn that was entertaining stuff. Great catch.

[Bonz]

Great game, about time old Jones actually caught a ball

Oh and Troy many Australians care, cricket is by far the national sport

That was some game, this Ashes series has been top notch entertainment and that comes from someone who isn't that into the sport.

HAH! The Australian guy didn't even hit the ball!

[therockbox]

Yes he did :/

[Turbo Yannis]

I started watching it after Warne was bowled out.

When Australlia got to around 30-ish I was convinced they England were going to blow it.

It's strange. The English cricket team is the only English national team I openly support. That's probably since Scotland's cricket team is pretty much non exsistent.

Oh, and Freddy Flintoff is a very scary man.

[The Slickman]

I Watched the majority of this test and the end was great . I Jumped out of my seat when we caught him . COME ON ENGLAND ! Were gonna win 4-1 !

[Dan]

I didn't just jump out my seat, I went mental. But I'm a big cricket fan anyway, I watch county games and Twenty20 games and the like.

I'm going to see Lancashire at the end of the month too

[lafunky xxvii]

Me and two of my friends jumped out of our seats and cheered when they finally bowled them out, then had celebrationary morning after Bacon sandwiches.

[Thomas]

Heh, that was awesome. Just before going out to play real life cricket. No better inspiration.

I got 17

Watching Lancashire, my home county, makes you cool. Here, have a hug. ({)

[TheArsenal]

It was an awesome second test.

Bring on the third at Old Trafford....

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

A few of my mates went to see it yesterday.

Said it was phenominal. THe ebbing away of hope as Aus got to within one shot of victory.

Then eruption of joy when the wicket was taken.

Critics are calling it the best test match ever.

I didn't see yesterdays action cos I was at church but watched all the rest and I'd have to agree.

[Summers]

After only managing to pull ourselves away from bed at 11, I eventually started watching when they had 5 runs to go, safe to say, I thought we'd lost. Was a nice turn around, however.

[Summers]

Vaughn, you silly tosser, played SO well. Then wastes it like that.
