First ASHES Test

[shwoody1]

no fight, no organisation, no imagination, really a piss poor performance. i only hope strauss and bowlers wise up or its gonna be a long old summer. and as for the so called batsmen....

Why was Onions overlooked?. If they go back to Harmison i will not be best pleased, when it REALLY matters hes all over the place.

and why was monty picked! cant buy a wicket for northants but good enough for the aussies! hauritz looks by far and away the best spinner even after his poor showing in the warm ups. but he has quickly learned how to bowl in english conditions backed up by a captain who sets half decent fields to suit his bowling and to expose chinks in the batsmens armoury, priors dismissal was a great example! watch and please learn strauss!

Agreed. Panesar just hasn't got enough variation.

Webber has just won his first Grand Prix. It gets worse

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

If we can go until tea without a wicket, I'll be a bit more cinfident we can play out for a draw.

 

[Brighton M]

Why is it not tea now?

Playing an extra half hour due to yesterdays delays?

 

[vulture]

broad out 160-7

 

[patchamalbion]

Swan getting battered at the end there,3 hits in a row,ouch! hope we sneak the draw against the Aussie bastards

 

[Taybha]

Swan goes just anderson and monty left,18 overs to survive.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

8 down

ha ha

 

[dougdeep]

Calm down, we'll be taking the lead in a minute.

 

[vegster]

Calm down, we'll be taking the lead in a minute.

well said..... if we can set them 25-40 to get in 10-15 overs they may panic...

 

[Spun Cuppa]

108 defensive strokes and voila!

 

[DJB1975]

Doomed

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

If England save this and the wont, I will shot any of the England players that celebrate this or use the term brave.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

If the situation was reversed, we'd all be cursing the bloodyAustralians, and grudgingly admiring their typically cussed resistance.

England do the same and we're all 100% convinced they'll be all out within the next three overs
