| Clarke and Hussey will hopefully steady things up, but great start to England, no doubt about it. |
| yorky500 |
| Well, what a start. The Aussies got off to a flyer and now England have come back with 3 wickets. Great start for England though, must admit. Good old Monty, 2nd over and gets a very, very important wicket. |
| SNA33Y |
| Michael Clarke will get a big score, possibly even bat out the day. C'mon Aussies!!! 5 - 0 |
| Guilo2 |
| Clarke's gone! |
| SNA33Y |
| I jinxed Clarke. :x Symonds will smash 'em all over. |
| ^ian^ |
Symonds is not a test cricketer. we've ballsed up the 1st innings heres, and need to really nail England to the wall with our bowling. |
| SNA33Y |
| Probably not a test cricketer but he just smashed two sixes and a four in 3 balls. A spectator caught one of the sixes one handed while holding a beer and didn't spill a drop. Sign him up!! :D |
| Guilo2 |
| What?! You're in front of the stupid box even right now? Don't ppl have to work anymore these days? :lol: |
| SNA33Y |
| I'm in Sydney Australia watching it live. It's almost 6pm. There's a 7 hour diff between SYD & DXB I move to Dubai early next week. :) |
| Guilo2 |
| Whoops... bye Symonds. Nice having ya for a while. Ahh... welcome Sna33y. Gonna be a short trip? |
| SNA33Y |
| Gilchrist DUCK!!! Aussies in trouble :( Guilo2: I have a 12 month contract working on the Dubai Mall. I plan to stay longer if it all works out. 4th and 5th test in DXB - Can't wait - However the time its on in Dubai isn't kind to the viewer Cheers, |

| We can limp to 250 then take a breath and take stock of the game. My prediction is an Australian Victory by 97 runs. Go Aussies. I don't think any of the poms on the forum dare call me crazy after my last prediction. |
| Galactico |
| hey yeh enjoying it immensely now haha what a great time to wake up I bet you wished you never said that now :D :D |
| SNA33Y |
| Given Englands last outing 250 will take them 2 innings to post a total :lol: No fear. Makes for an interesing game though. |
| ^ian^ |
Said what? We're still going to win. Did you not see my last prediction? Or the one beforehand? I have accurately predicted the outcome of every Ashes game so far, including this one. |
| yorky500 |
| What a complete load of bollocks you guys are writing. :lol: :lol: Its hard not to jump on the bandwagon, and I am trying not to. Its a long way to go being only 3/4 of the way through day 1 of a 5 day test match. Its great what is happening. At least we are damn well fighting back. I think more will be revealed once England's innings starts. Its a little too early to make predictions, unless, like Ian he wants to triple his "pint?" |
| ^ian^ |
I think you're on double-or-nothing Yorky. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) |
| yorky500 |
| Triple or nothing, to make it interesting. |
| Galactico |
I didnt see it maybe you due a wrong predection then. Its still been a good start even i never thought they going to put much of a fight until now |
| ^ian^ |
Dude.... I'm Dr. D!! |
| ^ian^ |
| 7/214 - pretty woeful effort so far, but 250+ might be a competitive total on this wicket the word I'm getting from the curator says. |
| yorky500 |
| Yes, fat fuck Warne has gone. :lol: :lol: :lol: |
| ^ian^ |
He'll be back.... to take 6 wickets. |
| yorky500 |
| Please clarify 6 wickets. In englands first innings, 2nd innings or the Test match? |
| ^ian^ |
Which would you prefer? |
| SNA33Y |
| 7 out for 222. That's a score fore Ritchie Benaud to say!! :lol: I'm off to the pub to watch the last session. The baggy green to fight back |
| yorky500 |
| I seek clarification, cos I was thinking about betting a pint on it as I know how cocky you are being and I would guess you will say 6 wickets in Englands first innings. If that is your clarification, then I WILL bet a pint on it. hahahahaha |
| yorky500 |
OH FOOK OFF will ya. hahahahahahahaha, did you really have to mention going to the pub? |
| yorky500 |
| 244 All Out. Interesting. Now, lets se if we can bat. :? |
| yorky500 |
| Openers are making there way to the middle. Damn, 17 overs left. |
| ^ian^ |
Well, it's a contest... haven't had one of them for a while. I'm just pissed Hussey didn't get to make his ton. Great average though... high 80s. |
| ^ian^ |
| 1/36 for England. |
| ^ian^ |
| 2/37 England - oh dear! |
| the_zooter |
| Still, its Day 1 to England me thinks Monty Monty Monty Panesar! Oi Oi Oi! |
| ^ian^ |
Depends... lose 2 more wickets, and it's a pretty open 1st day. |
| SNA33Y |
| Just got back from the pub. Interesting 1st day. I think the poms will quiver in their sleep tonight. A good start was ruined by a poor finish. My call: Aussies to bat again before the days end. |
| ^ian^ |
| Just woke up... 7/154 for Engerland. Yikes! |
| sage & onion |
| 215 all out, good job we hava a tail. This is what I call a match. Langer goes for a duck |
| ^ian^ |
| Wow.... carnage today and something special from Gilchrist. England need 538 runs to win with 9 wickets in hand. good luck... har har. |
| sage & onion |
Ian, Where do I send my application for Australian Passport?? :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: |
| SNA33Y |
| How sweet it is...... :D Sage, Join the queue!!! :D |
| sage & onion |
U2? |
| ^ian^ |
My prediction is looking good. |
| ^ian^ |
| Well... that's the Ashes all wrapped up :-) 3-0 to Australia... wining by 209 runs. |
