ASHES THREAD.

[Riever]

Let's hope we get the last 3 wickets fairly cheaply. I wouldn't want to chase anything over 150....

Agree with this - with England I still believe that we have the capacity to throw it away if we are chasing anything over 100. Could see us being 5 down in no time and relying on the tail to get us home!!!

 

[Billy Death]

morning Billy, how's the head today

Fresh as a daisy mate cheers.

 

[crumble bungle]

tip top, looking forward to the cricket today and fingers crossed get them early wickets.
The boss is out so I'll be on the net till 12.30 till its time to go home as its early finish on Fridays, happy days.

2 quick overs before lunch - survive at all costs!

Can see this being tight! Looks an easy chase uin three days!! But we are England after all and never do things the easy way.

I reckon we'll win by 5 wickets with Root at the crease at the end...

Here we go - Cook out

Bell dropped by Clarke!

74 required, 9 wickets in hand.... surely we can't blow this now?

Wish they would hurry up and finish it - I have got everything crossed (and I mean EVERYTHING) and its starting to hurt lol

Lyth has gone - just what does he add to the team?

He adds around 6 or 7 runs every innings I think?

Sily review! Pitched on, hit in line and hitting middle and leg half way up?? What a waste - sadly I think that's the end of Adam Lyth's short test career!) (it should be anyhow!)

He maybe needs a less high profile series to get in the groove - whether the selectors give him the chance is another matter

Been a tough nite at the office. My footy team lost lol and it looks like another asswhooping in the test match. Momentum surely in Englands hands now

Isn;t that what everyone said after the first test?!

Like said before - last 7 tests have been lwlwlwl (probably win this one!)

On the plus side we'll win the ashes if it keeps going

Yeah i reckon it being over there home advantage etc surely you should kick on? Never discount Aussies though
