deanflute 550 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Well the Ashes test is nearly upon us so as a Cricket fan I thought we should have a little thread on it, A place for a bit of banter with the Aussies, Your opinions on the games, Just for a bit of fun really -What will be the outcome? -Who will be the heroes? -Who will be the zeros? Contribute away! I personally think we (England) are just taking the urn on a little holiday to Australia and it's definatly coming back on the plane with Strauss and co Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,062 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Cant say as i really know much about cricket but im a sucker for competetive sport involving England so i,ll be keeping an eye out....wouldnt underestimate them aussies there a very competetive nation and on home turf id imagine they,ll be hard to beat....got a feeling England will win the series 3-2.

lanesra 3,994 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Not clued up on cricket that much, but if i had to put money on it id say the Aussies will win, home soil plus its a sort of "DERBY/HATRED" and form goes out the window 3~1 Australia, though i hope im wrong.

Yes mate he seems to be having it rough just lately, You know Ponting though and I'm sure he'll rise to the occasion and get a century or set the field just right for that crucial wicket! He always does On the flip side we have got Pietersen who is also under pressure more than any other player for us but again there is always that bit of magic in him Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody is "Bagging" Ponting, Read it properly, We are praising him if anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bcjaybc 1 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 sorry guys my mistake i read it wrong. being an aussie im happy how its going but did think anderson bowled very well and was very unlucky to go wicketless this morning. i think we have one of the best ashes for a ver long time coming up.

events co-ordinator 353 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I'm not one to piss on someones parade but how come bbc news had a "News Article" about the proposed victory parade including an interview with the P.M. before the series had even started.
