The Ashes

[Dan]

This shit be all over.

[DFF]

Clearly Harmison and Anderson will put on a last wicket partnership of about 5... but stay in for around 6 hours to draw the game.

Clearly.

[Farmer Reil]

Harmison could only do that against his own bowling

[Dan]

Monty would have saved us.

[DFF]

Crap, last wicket already.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Pah, Monty woulda got a golden.

Harmy's where it's at!

[Dan]

Clark looks like a retard.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

The momentum is with England!

All hail us!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I hope we didn't lose the moral victory as well....

Nah, with Big Mouith McGrath and 'ball-head-assault' Warne that's impossible...

[DFF]

Only lost by 277 runs.

Considering how badly the first innings went, that's got to be considered an ever-so-slight success.

I don't know why Harmy and Monty are being compared when they are both different types of bowlers - unless it's just that they both suck with the bat. lol.

[Mongrel]

You absolute fucking idiots England. Unchanged XI. Gutless.

[Summers]

We'll win.

[Dan]

Yeah, whoever selected this team needs a slap.

Monty SHOULD be playing.

[Sir Alan LCSugar]

Surely, SURELY this is not a good thing. We only took 10 wickets in the last match, and yet, we go again with three out of form quickies and a DEFENSIVE spinner, whose job isn't to take the wickets but to slow the Aussies down. Fat lot of good he was last time. For the first time I am questionning Fletcher now. We need a wicket taker, Monty is said wicket taker, just spineless from the selectors of this time. Not ready to gamble.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Myself and Dan have decided to agree with eachother. (Y)

[Summers]

Everyone agrees, but come on, the team's been selected. Let's just get positive.

[Sir Alan LCSugar]

I'm positive the batsmen will perform this time. I don't want Strauss to stop playing the hook and i don't want Pieterson to not be aggressive, and I'm sure they know that too. I reckon we could hit over 350 in the first innings.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Listening to the Five Live commentary I can see why not picking Panesar aint too bad...Very few spinners have performed on this ground over time....

And Aus only have four bowlers...

AND WE WON THE TOSS! Whoooo!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

McGrath's gonna collapse and Warne will have to hold one end up all day.

[Dan]

Bell, Collingwood and Piteresen are fast becoming are most established batsmen.

Strauss needs to sort himself out.
