Quote of the day:

"Theres definatly some weather around" - S Warne

Personally I don't believe there was any weather in the vicinity when he said it, or at any other time ever!

Brilliant win there. Totally dominant.

One more win to retain, but lets hope we thrash them!

England winning by an innings in Australia!!

Never thought I'd be posting that!!

Re: Ashes 2010/11 thread
 

Brilliant!

But did you see that rain a couple of hours after the match finished.

Terrific:cool:

Re: Ashes 2010/11 thread
 

if you follow test cricket you'll know that that result isnt really that much of a surprise. The Aussies are in turmoil, no direction, no confidence and tiny face Ponting is on a hiding to nothing.

Shame we have lost Broad, could be more of a blow than first appears. OK he's only taken 2 wickets but he is very aggressive, a match winner and more than capable of holding an end up creating pressure while the likes of Swann and Anderson rip up the other. Bresnan as a replacement worries me a little and Tremlett is injury prone and possibly not up to it. I hope im wrong..

England 2-0 final score

I'm just watching the highlights show just so I can enjoy it all over again. Andy Flower admitted in an email he was quite scared about the weather forecast before play started.

Anderson also comes home this week as his wife is being induced in a couple of days so the next warm up match will give Andy and Andrew Strauss a chance to test two of the bowlers ahead of the next Test.

I'm seeing Graham Onions on Thursday and he's on the mend but a shame he still isn't fit. His scans have been quite positive though. Let's hope we get him back in time for next summer.

I hope Tremlett gets the nod ahead of Bresnan, even though Bresnan is from God's country too. I think Tremlett's height, on hard bouncy Australian wickets, could be a telling factor. However, I think England could miss Broad in the tail if England have a bit of a collapse.

Rumours of a Shane Warne return to 'rescue' the Australian side?

I hope it happens, just because it smacks of desperation.

Somehow I think he'd struggle. He's been out for 3 years and it won't be easy to spend days in the field after so long out. Cricket isn't the most energetic sport but imagine the stamina that's needed to spend as long as cookie monster has on the field, or to bowl 60 overs.

Re: Ashes 2010/11 thread
 

Shane Warne and Liz Hurley - who'd have thought it. I think it's a cunning plan of distraction by cricket fan Hugh Grant - as while Shane is 'spending quality time' with Liz he won't be planing a comeback of any other sort!

Re: Ashes 2010/11 thread
 

WOW! When I saw the score this morning I thought we'd opted to bat and been rained off.

But no, we won the toss, put the convicts in, got rained off, bowled them out and then proceeded to take a 60 run lead for no loss! I have never wanted to be at a match so much in my life! This tour is turning out to be epic.

Anyone know a quick way to Australia? Problem is this might all be over by the time a flight got there lol.
