You got close with that line up Baz. Not that it matters as once England "scored" 67 the Test/Ashes are now yours. In fact you should declare now (Friday night) then you can bowl England out tomorrow morning. Then we can all fuck off and find something more worthwhile to do.

To say the England batting was shambolic isn't anywhere near to the truth. What the fuck Roy is doing opening is anybody's guess. He usually bats at 5 for Surrey in the CC, how he is expected to open in Test match cricket is beyond me. The ECB have little time for the CC as its not a money spinner, so they just mess about with it. Consequently there are now very few batsmen in England capable of compiling an innings. All they currently do is play one day shots. Except the red ball moves more than the white and the fields set are far more attacking, but nobody seems to have thought about that. I suppose its entertaining in its own way, as well as acutely embarrassing.

I reckon that your lot are going to do a phoenix and rise from the ashes.(pun intended ) 200 odd to get tomorrow. Then go on and win the Ashes.

Same as the World Cup final. Virtually gone but still found a way to win it. A huge summer for English cricket.


This is not a very good Australian Test team. Bowlers are doing their job but the batting (other than Smith and the Saffer) has been abysmal. When Mitch Marsh is the next in line to be selected, then you know that you are in trouble.

Nearly 0200 here and I can't sleep. Feeling all doom and gloomish.







Hang on. Not all bad. QPR had a win. If they can win, then any team, anywhere, can win.



C'mon Aussie Come On

And then I just read this.

Crikey!!! It just goes to prove that anything is possible (other than me backing a long priced winner )

I think both teams are quite evenly matched. Most of the batting is poor but the bowlers drag the teams along. Anyway the Series is still alive and there for the taking.
