Title: The Ashes
Post by: chrisgixer on 21 November 2013, 15:24:41
273 for 8

Not a bad days bowling for England. We'll see how the pitch is when England reply. But gota be happy with Chris Broads 5 wickets. :y

They boo'd him but that just adds fuel to the fire ;D

Great effort by England, I did my best to try and stay awake. I'll try again tonight.

Have you seen the size of England's fast bowlers? They're about 8 feet tall. :o

One of the Aussie rays is refusing to print Broads name. And even edited his image out of the front page pics as he celebrated taking a wicket. :D

Should only take a few min's later on to polish them off and then it is really on!

We need to put in a good batting session though. Need a solid 400+ to drum home a win
Title: Re: The Ashes
Post by: chrisgixer on 21 November 2013, 22:36:07
Now then, steady. We don't know how good England's performance is on the field until the Ausies have had a go bowling too. That will tell us what the wicket is like. If its a bowlers wicket then England could still be in for a battering.

We'll see. :)

Post by: chrisgixer on 21 November 2013, 22:36:45
Also, the outfield Is deathly slow, so runs will be hard work I would have thought.
Title: Re: The Ashes
Post by: 05omegav6 on 21 November 2013, 22:46:20
Hopefully the Aussies will suffer under the pressure to perform... afterall they got their butts well and truly kicked over here ;D
Title: Re: The Ashes
Post by: allen25 on 21 November 2013, 22:59:12
We will find out soon enough but if the experts are correct about the wicket and our batting is on form we'll be smiling tomorrow. I've heard there is some rain/showers around over there though?

Good news on the team then :y

I must say they appear to have a cracking squad. Especially the bowlers. Tremlet, Broad, Anderson. Can you imagine standing in front of them with nothing but a bit of wood and some pads? Bugger that. :o

Well now hang on. I'd rather play gold than be an Aussie bats man this week.

Although from a spectator point of view... :y

There might be a 'hole in one'...batsman that is if they are using a golf club to defend against our lot (especially as the opposition are down to their bowlers now)!

Ah what a vision this is. Broad swinging the ball, beutifull sunshine, and the barmy army singing Jerusalem.

278 for 8
Title: Re: The Ashes

Broad again. :y
Title: Re: The Ashes
Post by: chrisgixer on 22 November 2013, 00:39:44
295 all out.

Broad shows the ball to the crowd after his six wicket hall, and they boo him, and he smiles "Broadly" ;D

Love it. Just off to get me sunglasses and a tinnie, ready for the second innings.  8)

128 all out

Second innings Aus are 60 for 0


Here we go again. ::) ;D

A fan appeared to ask for Petersons autograph out on the border, as he tried to oblige the fan pulled his pen away presumably claiming to be Australian. Much to the amusement of the crowd, and David Gower who commented ." Ooh he got done, didn't he" ;D

Bloody Ausies. ;D

Going by commentators remarks, he's bowling a good 10 to 15mph faster than anyone else.

Hhhhaaa I like a bit if cricket. Watch a ball. Bit of oof. Watch another ball, admire the sunshine, bit of oof. Watch Joe Root smack the ball at a short leg fielder nearly taking his head off.... bit of oof. A nice lazy way to spend a day/night.

Shame we need 460 odd runs. ;D

Half century for Root.

So much for England being favourites to retain the urn.

They got well and trully beaten by a far superior side in every aspect ,and a tribute to the Australians given what a state their side was in when they met England last summer.Just goes to show how quickly a well organised positive attitude in a team can turn thing around.

England would do well going away and having a harsh look at themselves in a mirror and asking are they really up to the job....the so called "stars" should just walk away now as their time has passed
