The Ashes

[TheMinimalCriminal]

They're just about to play the anthems; here starts the greatest sporting contest in the world.

 

[TigerTiger]

Go Aussie's... :run:

 

[themadlatvian]

Pathetic.

 

[TigerTiger]

Pathetic.

Sure is John, only managed to drag you in. ;-)

Seriously, nothing I like more than a good Aussie stuffing.

Having a wee glass of amber nectar to end the day, after all the Aussies lost last week so it must be their turn for victory this time.

Just watched the highlights, amazing how many ways decent international batsmen can contrive to give their wickets away!

 

[unclepuncle]

Unbelievebale stuff so far today. :shock:

Australia went from 117-9 to 280 all out - record last wicket test partnership.

 

[themadlatvian]

Now that's a pity, despite the lad being an Aussie.

He deserved that century. Remarkable achievement mind for the last wicket.

Now England have got to start batting properly . . . . .

 

[meninblack]

And 98 is the record test score by a number 11. Likely to stay that way - I'll bet he won't be batting at number 11 for long! Australia have played themselves right back into it...

 

[ray70]

the greatest sporting contest in the world.

Can't argue with that.

Going tomorrow, my first Ashes Test. At one point this morning I wondered if I would see any play tomorrow. Set up for an exciting day now. :^

There were some good deals on tickets for day 4 at Old Trafford via the club's website, still available as far as I know.

Just watching the lunchtime feature on Brian Lara :notworthy:

 

[browellm]

Oh Broady, how have you not walked there? Poor effort :nup:

 

[pmac]

Oh Broady, how have you not walked there? Poor effort :nup:

I agree!

But, I wonder how many of the Aussie players would have :dunno:

 

[browellm]

I don't know mate, but that is flat out cheating in my book.

 

[pmac]

I don't know mate, but that is flat out cheating in my book.

Yup

 

[Purite Audio]

Modern professional sport, the referees are there to make the decisions .

Wish I could sync TMS with my *cough* internet stream.

I'm sure you do, the Sky commentators are shite......
