Off Topic The Ashes

Call me back in another 45 years time , and let me know what your great grandchildren think

 

You're optimistic.

 

Why ? do you not think he can be trusted to call me

 

Aren't you in your 80's now?

 

I am 82 years young , but I have been told that when I go I cannot take my money with me, so I have decided that I am not going.

 

If you live to 127, I'm not too sure I'll be around to see the conclusion of this.

 

You seem to forget, by the time I am 127 I am sure the technology will have improved and there will be some way that I can let you know

 

That's better. Shame it's too little, too late.

We need to take this momentum into the rest of the series now and there's a chance we could just nick a draw, somehow.

 

Got to dig in at the moment and lose no more wickets tonight. While Root is there, there’s still a chance....

 

Think we've lost two wickets more than we'd have needed at this point. We need a miracle.

 

We just need not to give anything away tonight. Go into tomorrow with three down. All about mental strength now. You know the type that Sunderland’s defense has lol. Faint hearts win f*ck all

 

You know I’m not a massive cricket fan
But I do like the ashes.
In the 50s 60s and 70s you got better tv coverage
Just like all sports money has took over and there not bothered weather you watch or not.
Same with this box office ****e for the boxing.
You got better coverage in the 60s

 

Thanks to the over priced internet I can find the score

 

Unbelievable test - I'll be setting an alarm to watch the remainder of this early hours tomorrow. I think we'll lose - but I also feel like it's a bit of a moral victory and should give us some confidence. Got to be among the best test matches to watch in a long time.

We need a rapid bowler in there. Jimmy and Broad are great bowlers but just aren't quick enough.

As for the TV coverage - I've watched thousands of overs on Sky and never, in all that time, have they missed the stock "shot behind the bowler" angle when the ball is released.

4 times in this series we've had the camera pointing from mid on or square leg when the ball is bowled. Awful coverage and not a patch on sky.

 

The fact that you cant even watch any highlights other than on BT Sport really boils my piss. Cracking comeback by England. I never thought they had it in them. Wish we had Stokes to come in.

 

It's quite incredible that there's even a chance of victory at this stage. Root, Ali and Bairstow need to play out of their skins.

 

No we don't, we are bowling

 

We is the first person collective and we on this board is England. You're the only Australian here. Don't include me in that. I was born English. I'l die English.

 

Looking bleak.
