aerospacemango Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 The Ashes are almost here! Come on England! I realise that there will be some who don't enjoy cricket, but for those of us that do....Here's the thread for your thoughts on the days play!
featured_spectre Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 I hope we get off to a good start, but knowing England recently, we wont until 4th batsman onwards!
p858snake Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 The Ashes are almost here! Come on Australia! >.> <.<
aerospacemango Posted November 25, 2010 Author Posted November 25, 2010 Well...that was a bit anti-climactic!! I went to sleep at lunch, after Strauss was out 3rd ball, and Trott got himself out, and we were in a decent position........... I wake up and there's been a hat-trick, and we're all out.... How did THAT happen? :(:( However, as someone very famous once said..... One innings doth not a Test Match maketh.... At least, I think it was that! Onwards and upwards England! Still think we'll win the series! : optimistic:
elsiegee40 Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 Oh dear! Just spoken to my other half who is having to endure smug Aussies in Sydney. Aussie newspaper headline: "Pom disposal expert"
chrisbrown Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 and so begins another day... May the best Aussies win.
aerospacemango Posted November 26, 2010 Author Posted November 26, 2010 I'm thinking that the pendulum is swinging slowly back in our direction! (Ever the optimist!) Would love to be in Vic for the Boxing Day Test, at the MCG, Chris! Have a beer (a VB, if you please!) and a sanger for me, will ya?? Love your city, but wanna spank your cricketers, soooo badly, on the cricket pitch!!!!

I would...but I'll be home in QLD for the Christmas break...And I'm not so keen on VB, tastes like gutter water mixed with fresh manure if you ask me
aerospacemango Posted November 29, 2010 Author Posted November 29, 2010 LOL! Nah, mate! Better than that Fosters or Castlemaine rubbish!! coughcough517-1coughcough!!! I reckon your boys are in for a proper beating now! Fortress Gabba is no more, so Adelaide here we come.....
chrisbrown Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Tooheys Extra Dry and XXXX are where it's at ;-) Also, I'll support Green and Gold to the grave, but my money's on the Poms this year.
aerospacemango Posted November 30, 2010 Author Posted November 30, 2010 chris, I properly respect your support for your team, and I'm surprised by your wish to put money on us! I see us winning the series 2-1, but it COULD still go horribly wrong. Tooheys IS a decent enough beer.....At least it managed to get me legless on Melbourne Cup day, 3 years ago!!!
aerospacemango Posted December 8, 2010 Author Posted December 8, 2010 So....Off to Perth we go, with a 1-0 series lead in our back pockets! A truly stellar performance from the England boys, especially on the last morning, with the weather on the horizon. Chris...What changes do you think your selectors will make for the next test? Doherty & Bollinger out, Johnson and Hauritz back in? Be interested in your POV on this. Come on ENGLAND!!!! You can do it!!!
