The Ashes Thread

[SirJonnyP]

I know there are a few cricketers on the board, just thought I'd start this thread for some discussion about the series.

So i seez England have made a solid start to the second test, and Strauss might have dislocated Hauritz's finger. Cashback? Defintely a positive reply after the farcicle second half of Cardiff.

Although I'm a huge England fan, before the series started I predicted a 1-0 series victory for Australia because I thought England didn't poccess the bowlers to beat Australia. After the first test I think I might stay with that prediction, although today's positive response is encouraging

dullest ashes and least important. but i think 1-1

Just waiting for the England collapse....

Neither side has a gr8 bowling line up to be honest, the aussies will edge it tho, unfortunately.

Yeah I predicted 1-1 too, neither side have that strong of a bowling line up. What the **** is up with Johnson? Left Arm Liquorice Allsorts

I like Holding's prediction of 0-0 as neither side has the bowlers and the pitches will be as flat as they can make them so they get 5th days.
100 up for Strauss.

Looked pretty nasty definitely at least dislocated. I like the fact that sky showed a slo-mo replay with hot-spot incase you couldn't tell where it hit him from the fact his finger was on back to front

Great day for England and now Botham's on a rant about why change test cricket lights stupid it's always sold out a Lords... conveniently forgetting that in the West Indies almost everyone in the ground was English.
