The Ashes 2009

[Fear 'n boozin]

He is indeed. Shame Collingwood's lost it though.

Shame Dirsy isn't doing the Beebs updates, but, as twitter seems to be the days hot topic, nice to see (I thought somewhat randomly) Kevin Smith and Pitchfork following his twiket updates:

bellocks.

[Keef]

Thank God Flintoff is retiring!

Basically he's a bowler these days, not an all rounder. And he's a bowler who can rarely bowl a days worth of overs.

Hopefully he can have a good farewell test when he gets his hands on the ball tomorrow...

Trott obviously hasn't let the occasion overwhealm him, and seems steady at the moment. Guess that'll be his Saffa arrogance, why be nervous, I'm great!

*Hides from Brenda*

[Keef]

Okay, I'll stop posting on this thread I think. Bloody saffas! ;-)

[Windom]

familiar territory am afraid

Bell gets out after getting good start shock!

[Fear 'n boozin]

I thought Trott did ok, so maybe we should select a team composed entirely of south africans. That means Straus, Pietersen, Prior and Trott can stay, but who else should join them? Michael Lumb's getting some runs for Hampshire, any decent bowlers out there?!?

[Keef]

Hmmm, didn't think our total was that terrible, but thought we'd get a wicket before lunch. Need an early one in the afternoon, or our total is going to start looking worse.

....and hope is rekindled

[Fear 'n boozin]

Dare I say it, but Broad's not doing badly!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Hope that's not put the mockers on him!

[mockney piers]

Not to 'put the mockers' on anyone, but HELLO!!!!!!

[Keef]

F*cking get in there Broad!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

One is beginning to have hope.

[Fear 'n boozin]

hello, just be careful you! I'd suggest it's looking a bit better for England now!

[david_carnell]

Make them follow on!!

Huzzah!

[bignumber5]

7.15pm: cup of tea, sofa, channel 5. looking forward to it - patient waiting for Broad to shine appears to have been worth it...

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Just avoided that. Isn't it exciting though? Wish I was there.

[????]

DC - follow on? No way, with pitch detioriating and plenty of time...wouldn't fancy a run chaise on day 5

[mockney piers]

" a run chaise "

I know it's a gentlemanly sport and all, but surely that's taking things a little too far. G&T old chap? ;)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

As the only lady in the room, should I have an attack of the vapours?

[Ladygooner]

I am here too but lurking - feels strange not to be in the football room but am so enjoying the cricket!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Wonderful, let's unlace each other's stays!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

All out. Brilliant.

['bout now]

We can't lose this..............Can we?
