unixman_again Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 With The Ashes starting today (which will be another win to the Aussies) here is an image to explain the mysterious signals given by the umpire. http://www.thepoke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/umpiresignals.jpg
aworkc Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Half an hour to go! Not sure how many cricket fans there are on here but what are peoples thoughts..... If I'm being brutaly honest I think it will be 2-1 to the Aussies but would love England to prove me wrong. Chosen to Bat first, that shows some intent Edited July 8, 2015 by aworkc
rickjames Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Well, err, it's a start. Pitch doesn't look like doing much. Root vital to this... Got tickets for day 5 at Lords and day 4 at the Oval.
aworkc Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Good recovery from where we were. If we can hold out till lunch I think that will put is in a decent position
rickjames Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Get another 50-60 from the tail (maybe) and we'll be in a good position. Wouldn't like chasing on that wicket.
aworkc Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 It was a shame that Cook couldn't push on yesterday, if he could have just got up to 25 or 30 his confidence would have grown and with some of the aussie bowling he could have got a big total
clockend25 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Hopefully Moeen can get a few runs this morning to turn this into a proper score. Otherwise I can see the Aussies going well beyond it and then the pressure will really come on.
aworkc Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Ball seems to be swinging.... Aussies could be in trouble if Anderson and Broad are up for it.
unixman_again Posted July 9, 2015 Author Posted July 9, 2015 I think any Pommie player whose name contains a repeated letter, should be shown the red card
aworkc Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Great morning from england..... If they can hit 330 by lunch tomorrow and declare it gives a target of 452 and a day and a half to bowl them out
