Re: Cricket Thread
Sad news about Freddie. Ashes won't be the same.
Speaking of England, what the hell happened to Simon Jones?
I know he was injured in the 2005 series but I never heard if he officially retired.
I did see him in the crowd so he's obviously still around.

You Aussies can have narcissistic show-pony Pietersen, if you like. But we are keeping Freddy....

Re: Cricket Thread
It looked so good for a while but where was the middle order? Strauss is playing a true captain's innings though, and Broady can swing the bat a bit, so there is hope alive.

Re: Cricket Thread
364/6 at close of play, Strauss still in, on 161. England scored at 4 an over all day, but haemorrhaged wickets in the second half of the day's play.

Re: Cricket Thread
Typical England. 3 quick wickets lost at the start of play today, but Anderson and Onions put on a last wicket stand of 49, so England finished with 425. Anderson was last man out with 29 from just 25 balls.

Great stuff.. nice tail wag. Who needs Freddie when we have Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Anderson? Woo!
Good start by England with the ball
Commentators earlier were comparing it to 2005 Ashes in that the balance seems to change with every session and that does certainly seem to becoming the case, England were up when batting yesterday, then collapsed and were down and now are up again!

Always good to see that Whingeing Aussie Ponting get out, especially when it's a somewhat dubious decision by the umpires....
