Re: The Ashes
Very soft dismissals for Bell and Bairstow just before the new ball.

Re: The Ashes
Got to be advantage the Aussies after day one.
Shame about those three wickets at the end.

Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

Re: The Ashes
321-9 so far, below par performance but from 24-3 I think that's a decent recovery, Harris has his 5 wickets so hopefully will indicate that Anderson, Broad and Bresnan should be able to get them knocked over without conceding a lead or at least a small deficit.
If we can put another 30 or 40 on for this last wicket it will really put us in a good place.

Re: The Ashes
361 all out, great swatting from Broad and Swann, record 10th wicket stand against the Aussies
Re: The Ashes
Not a bad total in the end though - good to see that despite looking like collapsing a couple of times, we actually had the mentality to dig in and steady things both times.
Now if Cook and Root can get firing rather than everyone else playing catch-up, we might be capable of winning this series!!

Re: The Ashes
Our batting isn't great but thankfully the Aussie's is woeful.
Seriously, if they can't make a decent score on this pitch, they've got no chance of winning a test.

Re: The Ashes
128 All out and we bat, great performance by Swann with a 5-fer - last time Englishman took 5 @ Lords was 1934 i think.
Only 2 results I reckon in this match and the odds on a draw will be big

Fair play to England, doing their best to keep this interesting.

Yeah making if difficult for themselves, the top order looks totally out of sorts, KP is in a dark place at the moment by the looks of itWeAreDFC wrote:Fair play to England, doing their best to keep this interesting.
Re: The Ashes
Cook worries me more. You expect a few cheap wickets mixed with outstanding knocks from KP, but Cook is normally solid.Bogratsteve wrote:Yeah making if difficult for themselves, the top order looks totally out of sorts, KP is in a dark place at the moment by the looks of itWeAreDFC wrote:Fair play to England, doing their best to keep this interesting.

Re: The Ashes
True Spyman, wonder if its pressure, I'm sure he will get a ton plus in the next innings!!
Re: The Ashes
I hope you're right - he's due a good score.

Re: The Ashes
Yeah it's like watching two boycotts lol
Bell should have walked I reckon, getting very disappointed with the players at the moment.
Still this match may define the series and a 5-0 drubbing which will be nice

There is a problem with DRS but its better than it was

There was an angle from straight on where it looked like the fielder trapped it against the floor with his pinky as it bounced up.comeondarlo wrote:I think it did but no 3rd Ump can give it because there's doubt from the telly pictures.Spyman wrote:I really don't think it carried - despite what Gower and Warne say.Bogratsteve wrote:Yeah it's like watching two boycotts lol

But anyway, any such debate is irrelevant as Australia are s*** and we'll demolish them regardless.

Re: The Ashes
I'm going to change my prediction to 5-0.
Think the excitement of the first test was a a one-off and the Aussies really are as bad if not worse then I thought before the series started.

Re: The Ashes
I reckon when Swan dropped the ball just before lunch, that the non striker was out (if England had appealed!).
Totally against the spirit of the game but interesting. I don't think anyone picked up on it.

135-5 2 wickets for Joe Root, man of match I think for the young lad

Re: The Ashes
Brilliant win, the whitewash must be on now, can't see anyway back from this for the Aussies
Re: The Ashes
Root had a great innings and took a few important wickets but I would have given MOTM to Bell, his ton dug us out of trouble and won the game.Bogratsteve wrote:135-5 2 wickets for Joe Root, man of match I think for the young lad
