The Ashes!

Well it's that time again and unfortunately I'm not feeling as confident as the last time. Beating the aussies on their pitch is gonna be a tall order and England are gonna have to pull out the kind of performances that reclaimed back the ashes to retain it.

Pontings won the toss and Australia are batting first ...I reckon we'll have them all out in a few hours  :grin:

Gonna try and watch as much as I can as I'm off tomorrow.

Re: The Ashes!

Time to go to bed. Australia are dominating, it's 67-0 and they're not letting up

Hopefully I'll wake up in the morning and it's Australia 70 all out

Re: The Ashes!

Sorry for the doom and gloom but it's not good news this morning then, our boys are struggling with the Aussies on 346-3 :-(

Certainly based on today's performance you can't see Austrailia making less than 600, and I'm not sure if England are up the pressure of batting for 3 days to save the test.

Hopefully they'll atleast avoid a thrashing and go into the next test with their heads up.

On the bright side seeing Harmison's first delivery on the news this morning brought a smile to my face! :grin:

Re: The Ashes!

Yup great first delivery ..... to second slip.

I think we're going to get mauled unless the batsmen hit form as most of the bowlers are out of form or just back from long injuries.

I think our best hope is to nick one test and draw all the others. Who's going to start the rain dance then?

Re: The Ashes!

I know we are going to lose badly in the series, but you just can't beat the ashes!

Our bowling is the main problem...harmison (out of form), hoggard (no swing in aussie), giles (shouldn't be playing), anderson (out of form)...that leaves flintoff...it's really no good.
I really can't believe monty is not playing...especially seeing what this pitch will probably do later on.
Also, how is Geraint Jones back in?? he was initially picked for his batting but that is poor and his keeping is only average.

Oh dear. It looks like Ponting's on a revenge mission for his humiliation last time.

Re: The Ashes!

I think Englands sport at the moment aint that good.
Rugby world champions look at them now ranked 8 in the world below Argentina.

Football well you all know about that

The ashes I honestly cannot see us winning any test,s unless Harmison gets his form back.
Certainly aint looking good for us, and our bowling attack is relying on freddie.
Lets face it we only have to draw the series to retain the ashes but I dont think we are good enough to beat them in there own back yard.

But I hope I am wrong

Re: The Ashes!

I think you are being realistic. I really don't know why I put myself through watching England Rugby. I wouldn't be suprised if we don't make it past the group stage at the world cup next year.

It was amazing winning the ashes an all, but just the whole sense of history and occasion puts the ashes up near the top. It's just great that it's on
