The ashes 2013

Giving it to the boys from oz here 69-4

 

Boom! 86-5

 

We are getting taught a lesson here, we won't make 150 the way were going lol

 

Bosh! 91-6

 

I was worried until the final ball before lunch mate

 

Forced the follow on, 128 all out

 

Botham just said England will bat. Bit suprised at that.Money I suppose. Get the crowds in final two days.

 

Probably declare on 300

 

Outstanding innings from the lad 136 not out so far the Aussies on the ropes me thinks. Hope Root can get 150+

 

Reckon he will. Looks at ease

 

Get his 150 and declare.

Have a few overs at them tonight.

 

Not for me. Two days will be more than enough. See if he can reach 200 and Bell 100

 

Na there's still to much time to declare tonight. Get them in the field tomorrow and declare at lunch. 5 sessions on a day 4 and 5 test match is more than enough, especially with Swann and Anderson there.

 

I was trying to get the lads an early finish on Monday ya selfish tw*ts.

 

What a catch that was to get Bell out. Bet his hands are stinging

 

Root is gonna be a massive name for years to come. best of luck to the lad..

 

Go out tomorrow and just smack everything. Lose all our wickets but we'll get some runs for it. Good entertainment

 

This must be one of the biggest thrashings in Test history. In order to win the Aussies would already have to smash the record for the highest run chase in the history of first class cricket. Add another 70 tomorrow morning and then put them in for an hour before lunch. Lets see what they are made of.

 

Know the answer to that already: not much!

Honestly though they'll give it a good go, you'd hope for those who've bought tickets for Monday that it doesn't end tomorrow

 

Hope that Joe gets his double-century in the morning,we declare and stuff the Aussies..another five for Anderson???
