The Ashes: Second Test, Adelaide - The 100% OFFICIAL thread [Merged]

[Stumpy Tim]

My flight to Adelaide leaves in 2 hours. I'll miss the first session, but will be there (with Seagulls England flag) for the next five sessions!

By the way, for anyone going to Sydney - I was on www.ticketek.com.au the other day & managed to buy 2 tickets for Day 3 in Sydney....

 

[Stumpy Tim]

When you say you will "be there," do you mean actually in the ground? If so, why the hell aren't you getting there for the start of play?

I will be there. I'm working & got the first flight available

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Just under 2 hours. There's a time difference that works in my favour too

But that was started three days ago and is now full of SHIT. Better to have a fresh one for when the teams are announced and ready for action.
I've just had a sleeping pill and the alarm is set for 12
See you later

Well this one is full of shit as well now

Erm....getting back to the actual match, is there any team news yet?

 

[London Calling]

lets have a new thread this one is full of waffle!!

Neither side announced yet. Aussies sweating on McGrath's fitness, us probably tossing up between Giles at 8, Panesars wickets or even playing both and dropping Anderson or Harmeson.

Hi fella, shouldn't you be changing a nappy or something !!

No teams news as yet! I'm waiting for it

Come on MONTY !

That's all there is to say really. I had hoped some of you chaps were going to offer us a priceless insight into how the match is going to go. Personally, I think we will put up a much better fight, but a lot will depend on the toss. Win that, and I don't think we'll lose.

I'm the worst tipster in the world. I had us down to LOSE to NORTHWICH

Tell you what - if we win the toss and bat and McGrath is out we could scrape a draw. Any other combination and I reckon we're 2-0 down.

I see fatherhood has turned you into a miserable git !!!

It's the lack of sleep.

Actually it's also on the very supersticous basis that as I got Northwich so wrong if i put us down for a loss here to we might actually win by an innings and plently.

 

[Scoffers]

It's the lack of sleep.

Been there, read the script, acted in the film, got the T shirt

I know where you're coming from!

I'll be watching the first hour tonight before I no doubt drop off to sleep with the remote in my hand !

There was a thread DAYS ago, rambling on about what would you do with our team. The match starts TONIGHT, so if that fact is able to register with your obvious excuse of a brain, then you will possibly be able to understand I would quite like to talk about it NOW, rather than days in advance.

By the way, I barely start any threads on this site, so be a prick with someone else please

Your right, this one is much better, it's far more exciting as it has the word official and in CAPITAL LETTERS! Let's do all the pre match talk again! Brilliant! Perhaps we could start a 110% official thread endorsed by the ECB thread at 11:45. That would really get us all going. In fact, it's all too much for my "obvious excuse for a brain" to handle. I think I'm going to have a stroke...

Can we have another McGhee versus Wilkins thread? I want to talk about that again

 

[Skaville]

If I start a thread on Albion v Swansea tomorrow, is noone else allowed to talk about it until Tuesday?

They can, but only if it's 100% OFFICIAL. Okay?
