The Ashes

Featured Replies

Their batting is nearly as bad as ours, so we'll still bowl them out often enough. But no team with Vince or Malan in it deserves to win a test.

Unless we win!

Vince will nick off on 20 odd every innings. 

 

It will be a blinding 20 odd though

Interesting little piece with Ali earlier.

 

When asked about the pressure/sledging etc, he said simply, "the Australians like to talk and big themselves up..." and that it wouldn't bother him.

 

Beginning to think there's a bit of insecurity behind them. Start well and their press/fans may well get on their backs.

if i was ali id not be looking to wind em up

Still no BT offers? 30 quid sign up is putting me off if you don’t want to be tied to a 12 month contract.

Yep fair point, though he was quite matter of fact; didn't seem to be on a fishing trip.

It didn't show much of the interview either to be fair so context could be lacking.

As much of it will be during sleeping hours, I'll settle for Aggers' dulcet tones on TMS.

i dont think he was playing games

 

i just think the last thing he needs is the ball around his ears

 

i reckon they have him targeted for the short stuff as it is

He'll need to keep his discipline that's for sure

love to be proved wrong, but i expect him to be destroyed by their quicks

Johnson did most of the damage last time so there's hope.

An alternative take;

 

We manage a draw in Brisbane. Cummins injured.

 

Adelaide; ideal for our bowlers; win in 3 days

 

Perth; lose

 

Melbourne; win again.

 

Sydney; Mo and Mason Crane spin us to victory

Love it. Wanderers to stay up and England to win the ashes (or at least retain them) a presumably some money in that.

Top effort. I'll check that out, thanks.

Aussies team selection shows it's not straightforward

Bang on. Recalled a keeper who's not played a test for seven years, and isn't doing the job at his club apparently.

For the first time ever I can say that nothing in that Aussie squad gives me any major concerns. I still think it will come down to the last test.

Not a chance! I've got a few, but I'm not a fan of McGrath.

Was he grumpy in a lift?

No idea.

 

Just his incessant anti-Pom stance with 5-0 every time. And then becomes Mr Nice Guy when he fancies it.

 

Great bowler, mind. Looking forward to Jimmy passing his total.
