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

[andyc]

Almost every shot he plays is stupid

Haha. Hey, if he gets 78 not out, I don't really care if they're stupid or not.

 

[krishneelz]

he mite be the first aussie to get a century in this series

 

[Burpey]

I don't disgree with you

 

[shaka]

that would be a funny opening century for Australia in the series.

 

[Nate]

Jones is surely a worthy successor to Parthiv Patel.

Australia will get out for about 344 leaving england a lead of 100. At the end of day one england will be 100/4. halfway throughout the day england will be 233/7 and then they will be all out for 277 leaving australia 378 for victory with england with 110 overs to get australia. Australia start off well and after 17 overs they will be 42/1at the 45th over they will be 167/2. England with 65 overs to get 8 wickets. Australia work thier way to 200/3 with 40 overs left. austalia 277/5 with 20 overs to go. Gilchrist cameo takes australia t0 320/7 with 10 to go. end of the final day australia will finish 358/9 or the game washes out

...and then you wake up?

 

[krishneelz]

is this the biggest thread ever on cricketnet

 

[Nate]

Hells yeah.

 

[andyc]

Well, for one it's cricketweb () but I think it's the biggest in CC, but definitely not in the whole forum. Another game beats it by far, coming in at over 19,000 posts. But this one actually has a purpose

 

[Nate]

Yeah, I don`t count the 'Another Game' thread, and I believe it should be deleted, and the posts removed from peoples tally.

I hope Warne gets his century, but I think he would be worse than even money to do so.

He basically got out when he nicked that ball to Jones. Jones had other ideas.

It would be great to see him make the first century for Australia. Then they can drop Ponting and have Warne bat at first drop.

Bring back the England killer Hussey.

Bring back the England killer Hussey.

Not even in the squad ... what a shame.

Are the drugs wearing off yet??

 

[andyc]

How's the weather over there guys? I'm happy for the rain yesterday but I hope that's it for the game (depending on how it pans out, of course...).

 

[luckyeddie]

Looking at the series stats to date ......Warne has been the ALLROUNDER of the series !!!!

I was thinking that myself - he has been a major thorn in England's side for so many years, and age doesn't appear to have altered that keenness.

It'll be a REAL shame when he retires.

Strangely enough, that's true (although highly unlikely) - a mouth-watering prospect.

However, looking at the talent that appears to be not exactly forcing its way past the zimmer frames in the Australian side, we would in all likelihood not need him.
