    ***Official*** Australia in England (The Ashes)

    lol natwest challenge ... reaching! Hey we peppered you in the 20-20 we're better. p.s. no but really we are better, if we don't win this ashes, walkabout won't get my money till we get them in Australia. ;)

    Different situation, Giles hasn't been in the team to take wickets, you cant compare him to Shane Warne, hes not a strike bowler, hes there to tie up an end, imagine if Harmison and Hoggy had bowled his overs and Australia had gone at 4 an over an won the match, youd be singing a different story...

    ***Official*** Australia in England (The Ashes)

    You lucky boys, cheer that scrape of a draw like a win, suppose 3-1 isnt that bad :p Martyn was out earlier anyway, noone appealed, so he got his fair share of luck. Apart from that id have given a hundred of those LBWs from my seat!!!! great umpiring, lets hope our weather doesnt save them...

    Best spinner other than Warne & Murali

    lets get the gilo votes going, sure he gets massive gUile points?

    True, i think it unlikely but Australia do have the consolation that this is not a typical 5th day pitch. But yeh im still confident, but if they are chasing 300 without loss at lunch then the telly is going off!

    ***Official*** Australia in England (The Ashes)

    I hope so, everyone seems to be forgetting how good this Australian line-up has potential to be, normally i would reckon Australia wouldnt be able to make it. But with their fighting capability, they have been set a challenge and i woudnt be suprised if i saw a far more watchful and skillful...

    Geraint Jones

    I deviate from wishing to drop him and to keep him. For that reason i think at present he should stay, especially if he keeps up getting runs. If he averages over 30 in the next two tests then i think it will have been the right decision to keep him. Everyone saw today how supposedly the best...

    ***Official*** Australia in England (The Ashes)

    This total worries me, i think england should have set them 450 and made it more secure or at least batted until jones got out or harmy had a thrash...could have made that total reasonably quickly whilst if Australia keep the runs ticking over tommorow and have wickets in hand at tea they could...

    Best Player Nickname?

    yeh 'wait on' sounds pretty stupid if you ask me.. bell says it aswell, annoying, just say wait...no need.

    ***Official*** Australia in England (The Ashes)

    Thats true, but i was just hypothetically saying that if a number of the Aussies retired due to a crushing series defeat (which i dont think will happen) you might find for example, warne, martyn, mcgrath, gillespie, hayden going and gilly said he doesnt want to play for too much longer. Well i...

    Best Player Nickname?

    Naaaaaaah for tres. (just listen to him when hes batting, calls every ball whether its his call or not) can hear him a mile off in standard toff accent!

    Best spinner other than Warne & Murali

    gilo obviously, no-brainer. King of Spain and all that.

    ***Official*** Australia in England (The Ashes)

    if it were to happen (and i doubt it will) i wouldnt be suprised if one of the odl guard eg mcgrath or warne retires. If this happens i would also not be suprised if the rest followed suit... a kind of 'im not gonna be part of a dying team' attitude and go. That would mean Australia would be in...

    ***Official*** Australia in England (The Ashes)

    i agree although sometimes i think that bowling him for 12 or so overs in a whole test match isnt enough. As it happens the Australians have got out reasonably quickly so he hasnt been required to be a part of a bowling attack that has had to dig in so far. To a certain extent we are riding our...

    i agree seems like a no-brainer to me, even if england bowl out australia for nothing tommorow.

    Well done for listing half the wickets taken in this ashes series and calling them dubious, with a few ones from Australia that should have been given. Fantastic.

    examples of luck please. And dont say mcgrath worm slipping on a ball, thats his fault for being a fag playing rugby before an ashes test.
