3rd ASHES TEST Dec 14, 2006
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.

Michael Clarke will get a big score, possibly even bat out the day.

C'mon Aussies!!!

Clarke and Hussey will hopefully steady things up, but great start to England, no doubt about it.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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?"

I think you're on double-or-nothing Yorky.

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.

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
