Re: The Ashes!
Went to sleep at about 1:20 am this morning (play having started at midnight Irish time).
Woke up at 4:55, took a leak, snacked some chocolate, crawled back into bed, turned off the light and switched on the radio.
Happiness is listening to Test Match Special, tucked up safe and warm in bed, on a winter's morning.

Yep, Hussey dropped one he would have normally taken...
Later, Michael Clarke took a blinder, though...
And why so nasty to poor Ricky? Be nice to him, he's from Tasmania!

Re: The Ashes!
Typical - I go to work and nobody bothers posting!
I suppose all the Brits are in bed and all the Aussies are... well... curiosly uninterested in their (supposedly) favourite Summer sport.
So here are the highlights: -
1. England are pissing all over Australia with a fucking massive cock that gushes piss like a fireman's hose!
2. The Aussies have continued their new policy of only taking 2 wickets a day.
3. Kevin Pietersen made a double hundred - an unbeaten, double hundred!
4. England made 500 in successive tests for the first time EVAH in Oz!
5. The only good news for 'them down under' was that it rained off the best part of the last session.
In other antipodal news: the Australian government is in urgent negotiations with various aboriginal leaders in what is now being termed the 'traditional lands for raindance' talks!

Re: The Ashes!
There is a GOD! And His name is Pietersen!!1! 227 runs earlier - his highest test innings - and then a wicket with the last ball of the day! This has turned a 50/50 result (especially with the chance of rain) into an odds on England win - the Aussie tail beckons! 
238/4 at close. 7 Australians need to bat through an entire day on a deteriorating pitch, against the world's current best spinner (and this season's leading test wicket-taker) in order to salvage a draw, which will still leave them in the position of needing to actually beat the English in order to regain the urn. Sorry lads, it ain't gonna happen.

Re: The Ashes!
Don't care really. There is no chance you could actually beat us in this series. A win at Adelaide just means you would have to do it twice!JimC wrote:Ah, but much rain is forecast, which may, in the words of one of our pundits, give us a thoroughly undeserved draw...Xamonas Chegwé wrote:There is a GOD!

Re: The Ashes!
True; getting back the Ashes seems somewhat unlikely at this stage, but I'll take anything I can get; a drawn series would be a poor result for England as the teams now stand...Xamonas Chegwé wrote:Don't care really.

Hussey is out! A soft catch by Anderson off the bowling of FInn. that's Australia's danger man gone - 266/5 now - still trailing by 109 - innings defeat anyone?
