The Ashes tour 2015

[God is an Englishman]

Never judge a score until both teams have batted

But


Surely we can do better than that.

[Steve#4]

youre still not bitter about being wrong re Jeggo are you....

Not bitter : correct
jeggo: my opinion was correct back then.

Make hay because the sun is definitely shining. We deserve everything insult you can throw, if you dont we already are giving it to them. Piss poor effort.

[Mad_Max]

Pity I'll be in Southampton tomorrow. A trip up to Nottingham tomorrow might have been the go otherwise.

At least I'll have something entertaining to listen to on the radio while I'm stuck in a traffic jam on the M25.

It was an absolutely disgraceful batting performance in that session.
Broad took 8 wickets and all of them were caught behind the wicket.
Awful awful batting.
No point winning 5-0 at home and celebrating the way they did to then go to England and get beat so badly.
Haven't won there since 2001 and will be a long while before we do again

What is even more cringing is the way they talked it up after the second test.
I feel for thebowlers as the batsmen are to blame for the crap we are witnessing

And you will be caught in a jam on that section of the M25 on a Friday as well. Leave before about 2 and you might be OK.

Whilst I agree (to an extent) that's taking a lot away from Broad's bowling.

[Steve#4]

Broad bowled where he needed to and was a good plan from your coach as indicated after broads first wicket.
He bowled well but no where near as well for his figures on his bowling alone.

He needs to drop ofa carton into the Australian dressing room after today's play

[Mad Max]

Is Mitchell Johnson coping with the banter?

[MegaBonus]

@ Hawksey (or any of our other fine English folk)

I read an article by a pommie journo who used the term 'English dollop'...what/who was he referring to?...serious question as I've never heard the saying before...

[God is an Englishman]

The only dollop I would know would be like a scoop, as in a dollop of cream on your strawberries.

You just know that B Toomer will be posting soon.

[Bomber]

Clarke's dismissal was the worst. The rest was just damned good bowling - day 1 first session the ball was always going to swing about. Still, one has to question the batting techniques - jabbing away as they did is ideal slips catching practice.
I was thinking is this a T20 game I'm watching, but then realised even then they didn't last 20 overs.
I missed all the pre-match stuff - why was Mitchell Marsh left out?

Well Clarke made a big deal about saying a bowler for an all rounder. Then bowled Warner ahead of him. Then again, Shaun marsh is not an all rounder so maybe I misheard him.

Watson has made more runs in this series than Mitch marsh is half the innings.

i'll beat him to it......

[My White Devil]

So rolf harris is the only Australian not to be out before lunch.

[Bomber]

I think if Anderson was playing/bowling, would we have made it to 30?

I think Cook should take the piss and declare now. Cant see us making 200 next dig on that first up effort. Poms could celebrate much earlier and go on a real bender!

[Kichise Michiko]

You just know that B Toomer will be posting soon.

That's what I thought.

[Scholes]

Good job that new aussie batsman " SUNDRIES" is on tour, otherwise it would have been all out for 46!! What australia would'nt give now for a Root

[Scholes]

What was it Shane Worn said before the game? Not to worry, he can easily fit both feet in his big mouth!!

[Mad Max]

I'm sure you can do better than that. Actually, you probably couldn't.

We're talking toomer here, so like candy to a baby, even in victory he shows his true numptiness.......

[Scholes]

It's O.K., I feel your pain. Of the aussie squad, there might be 2 or 3 that would get into the England side. Time for a clean out boys!!

[God is an Englishman]

I remember when people said we were shit. I said that you can win at home and so could we. Those people said that Australia were better as they won the last series


Any comments now?

[Ned]

And Michael Clarke retires.

Media whore.

There's a time and a place.

We beat the all blacks so all is right with the world now

[Mad_Max]

With you on that one.

Just don't tell Hawkesy.

[God is an Englishman]

That was a great second half.
