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

[Knopfler]

Or should that be "We'll have a bowl" Ponting for England

LOL

Funny and true. Those 4 words, not just possibly, but highly probably, cost us the ashes in the end.

 

[Pratters]

Sorry, but the Ashes have been at stake ALL series when Warne has been bowling.

The Ashes has been at stake all series yes. But a draw would mean Australia would still be in the series in earlier matches. In the current match a draw is like a loss to Australia. Which calls for more catching positions.

Flintoff for MOS for mine. Winner takes the spoils and all that, and also, he was playing for the side that was the underdog coming in - he had so much to prove and did it against the world champions.

And Gillespie by unanimous vote is awarded the POS for his stellar performance..

 

[Pratters]

That's irrelevant - the way he bowls now is less reliant on such a thing

Then how would you explain the two edges past first slip off the bat of Pieterson.

 

[Linda]

Yeah agree there Linda. Maybe I am too angry that Australia is looking on the verge of losing the Ashes.

YOUR too angry?!

 

[Pratters]

McGrath and Warne bowling but nothing happening. Every one despairing.

Except a person who is yawning: Damien Martyn!

Haha. Ron Howard talking to Macgill. Most bizarre celebrity appearance of the series?

You can see why some of these bald guys wear the hats all the time. He almost looks cool.

 

[Kweek]

what has Howard to do with Cricket, If i May ask ?

 

[Knopfler]

MacGill explaining the LBW law? Definitely a moment when two entirely different worlds meet

 

[Slow Love™]

what has Howard to do with Cricket, If i May ask ?

Nothing, apart from him being at the ground. He's apparently over in England for the filming of The DaVinci Code...

 

[Knopfler]

Matthews is only just starting to get worried for Australia. Ha.

EDIT: believe he said "Australia are really up against it."

 

[Slow Love™]

Greg Matthews thinks Australia are "up against it".

Hey man! It's over.

 

[Pratters]

Nothing, apart from him being at the ground. He's apparently over in England for the filming of The DaVinci Code...

And MacGill is in England for?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Maybe he's going to do a Malcolm Glazer and buy out Derbyshire, I'm sure he'll have a hundred dollar note lying about somewhere.

 

[Robertinho]

Well done to England.. a very empty feeling at the moment... feel very deflated.

"The day Australia fell back down to earth"?

I'll wallow in my sorrows for a while, but hopefully we rebuild after this series and continue to be a force. Will make the world of cricket a lot more interesting... but nonetheless... a very sad day for Australian cricket in my opinon.. Warne & McGrath - legends in every single sense of the word.

 

[Slow Love™]

Gotta say I'm very disappointed we haven't been able to take these three wickets. In spite of the fact that a win was very unlikely, I was looking forward to some good old throwing of the bat, regardless. Don't know that we'll see any at all now...

 

[Pratters]

Now there should be no doubt that Gilchrist will open for Australia.

 

[Slow Love™]

And MacGill is in England for?

The wine?

Yeah me too. Even 300 off 40 overs or whatever, would have been worthwhile watching.

Without wanting to sound like I'm just whining about the loss ( ), I think this series deserves a better finish than 30 overs of pointless batting for a draw.
