Ashes

[YELLOW]

Agree. If we get over 350 we are in a quite decent position.

mmm that track should have netted us 400 plus.. lee and mcgrath sturggled to produce much on it.. vaughan and pieterson should have cashed in.. is bell australian?

if the aussies get a lead of say 100 i fear we may struggle with the pressure on .. everyone is talking about flintoff but it is jones who has been our best bowler ..

lets hope harminson can turn it on today

[Electric ~soul~]

I'd say Aussies are in front, personally.

 

With three wickets remaining, maybe we could realistically think about getting 350-360, but then we could be all out for 320 too.

 

Much as I love the England cricket team, does Pietersen actually know how to play cricket??

[Rob_the_Saint]

Jones the Gloves is the key player for me today. If he can put on another 30-40 runs and not make any mistakes behind the stumps we can go into the second innings just about all square or even with a slight lead.

[Electric ~soul~]

Not sure that will be good enough.

 

Australia have been the better team in most if not all the 2nd Innings these series, have they not?

 

We need rain.

[CANV EFM]

we have been all over the aussies since lords and those convicts are clearly past their sell by date.. but they have made a fight of every test sometimes by having the better of only one or two sessions..

strauss was all happy about his great innings.. he should have been gutted he didnt see the day out.. im with c.z. i fear for our 'mental strength' if this goes to the wire..

mind you thats probably because i am cakking it and desperate for us to win back the ashes

It's alright for you, CANV, you remember the last time...

I was eleven the last time. And had no interest in cricket.

b. Lee

[Electric ~soul~]

Yeah - just turned it on.

 

And now I'm just turning it off.

[GHA EFM]

You're cursed mate

[Electric ~soul~]

Hmmmm.

 

Rain, please.

that makes it harder to bear GHA trust me...

mm i wonder in the england team realise just how quickly they could go from heros to zeros..

[Electric ~soul~]

5/6 on England scoring less than 385 in the first innings.

 

Fk me, I'm having some of that.

[Electric ~soul~]

This has got to be the way forward - I'll just back us to be crap all the way through this test match.

 

Might cost me £500, but at least we'll win the Ashes!!

Giles edge, Ponting drops him in the slips
