Re: The Ashes tour 2015

Re: The Ashes tour 2015
Ask your fellow poms to explain it to you.
It's pretty basic really and the sort of thing you should know if you want to discuss cricket

Re: The Ashes tour 2015
Firstly the England you are referring to is the England and Wales Cricket Board. Even I know that. How many internationals has the Australian nation football team played in England against non English opposition?MegaBonus wrote:So let me get this straight.....its England V Australia in Wales?

Re: The Ashes tour 2015
Slight advantage to England at the moment but a game very much in the balance

Definite advantage to the poms. When we are relying on Watson, you know we are in trouble.God is an Englishman wrote:Slight advantage to England at the moment but a game very much in the balance

Re: The Ashes tour 2015
Just said the same to a mate of mine. Claims of doctored pitches and not understanding the game are just their typical mannerisms. Game still in the balance and some are panicking already.N5 1BH wrote:The trolling has started, must mean the aussies aren't going too well

Re: The Ashes tour 2015
Funny watching Taffs barracking for England all the same.
I think advantage England also, but only just. All depends on what we end up with I guess. Hopefully our guys can jag some cheap runs via edges through slips, mis-hits as well as the Welsh/poms did.

I can't possibly see how you could think you have the advantage here.

Re: The Ashes tour 2015
His last series, so hopefully it wont be the norm over the coming weeks/months. Good keeping under-rated these days, they all seem to have to average 40-50 with the bat to be considered to play for the national team.God is an Englishman wrote:That's what happens if you don't have a decent keeper.Bomber wrote:Missing Joe Bonk was more significant (so far)N5 1BH wrote:Wonder if Haddin will last the pace, bet he misses Harris more than most.
