The Ashes 2009

[Keef]

Peckhamgatecrasher is a beautiful woman actually, and she talks cricket more than most!

At least these guys didn't need to ask permission to take their tops off, davy.

Snog, marry, avoid.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Aw, shucks, Keef.

Trust me, Mr Watts, cricket is very sexy.

[Brendan]

Numbnuts!

Broad looks in touch. A quick 3- - 40 from him and some back up from other tailenders and 400 looks a possibility.

Then it's England's bowlers turn - and I'd like to think they'll be a little more penetrating than Australia's - most of whom were given a wicket rather than took it. (cf: Pieterson's).

[Brendan]

I don't think Englands quicks will be much better than Australia's. The wicket isn't doing much at all. I think spin may win the game for England. We know England's spinners are better than Australia's but the important question is, are they better than Australia's batsmen.

[Brendan]

Just might get that 400 after all.

Dry Pitch, turning, English Spinners are drooling....

[mockney piers]

Looking like englands session already. Hauritz's profligacy is crucifying the Aussies!!

[Marmora Man]

Two English spinners now watching how much spin the wicket is taking.

Indeed. This is what I said half-hour ago.

433-9.

Be great if Swann gets a well-deserved 50..

But doesn't get it as Monty is out on the last ball of the over.

Swann 47 Not Out...

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Oh jolly well done, Fred!

[mockney piers]

Great spell 6-2-11-1 or something (done from memory).

Has anyone else noticed how quiet the forum has been over the last couple of days? Coincidence? I think not.

I suspect my work productivity is suffering proportionately.

mmmmm

[Marmora Man]

I take it back - England's bowlers lack penetration and the Aussies aren't giving any wickets away.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Harrumph. Bunch of pansies. (or should that be petunias?)

[Keef]

Need to make something happen, this is not looking good enough by a long shot!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

A grudging well done to Mr Ponting.

[????]

mmm- the aussies bat All the way down, this is the pitch that's meant to favour us over all others, and only Flintoff has vaguely bothered them> I think the Ashes are looking nigh on impossible - We need Harmison back in for the next test as he does bother them

[Keef]

Yeah, and Hoggard!

England had an ace attack in 2005 - different bowler came to the fore in almost every test that summer.. I thought Monty was England's secret weapon til I heard Atherton say today he was a slow learner.

[Brendan]

Calm down folks. One and a half innings does not a five match serries make.
