The Ashes 2009

[Nemo]

C'mon, one more before stumps.

 

[Relahni]

you draw a long bow.How many of our team have you met?They are there to represent this country in the best way they can.If the weather is shit,the umpiring is shittier we are behind the 8ball.From the time your tail wagged severley it has been an uphill battle.I hope you will eat your words when our men deliver a win somehow(no idea how)
You may have forgotten we are missing Ckark and Lee,two aggressive bowlers for you.Without them our job was always going to be a struggle.I have no doubt that sometime soon England will crumble(as usual)and let us in again ITS AS SURE AS DEATH AND TAXES

If we can't beat these wooses then we should quit cricket. I mean most of this Aussie team are wet behind the ears. No doubt they'll be on the phone to mumsy every night crying that they want a cuddle.

This is the softest Aussie team in living memory. The only problem for England is complacency.

Been a good day this. Only thing that'll stop us from winning i think is the weather.

 

[Nemo]

88-2 at stumps.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

[TrippyLondoner]

[TrippyLondoner]

Always fuckin loved edgbaston tests.

 

[Badgers]

Hoping it will be frantic today.

 

[Badgers]

Early days, wickets needed.....

 

[Nemo]

Early days, wickets needed.....

Wickets needed soon.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Wicket needed NOW!

 

[Nemo]

Going to be a draw.

 

[Badgers]

Keep the faith
I am struggling to keep the faith

 

[paulhackett]

Go home and put your optimistic trousers on.. they're 5-2.. 2 wickets before lunch, they'll be about 60-4 and will have North, Manou etc..

 

[g force]

Nah it's going to be a draw.

 

[Nemo]

Watson getting peppered a bit.

 

[Cerberus]

I'm struggling to keep the faith too..

maybe Jimmy will find some swing...

 

[Nemo]

50 for Watson.

 

[Nemo]

Goddim! Jimmeh!

 

[butchersapron]

Patience

edit: ooh yes!

 

[Cerberus]

[Nemo]

Which begs the question of why Anderson wasn't bowling earlier.

 

[Biddlybee]

At last

 

[Badgers]

Geddin

 

[Nemo]

Let's hope Clarke doesn't do what he did at Lord's.

E2A: 50 for Mr. Cricket too.

 

[Nemo]

England looking a bit flat.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

England looking a bit flat.

Cause they know it'll end in a draw the way this sessions gone.

 

[Badgers]

I only have the text updates at this time but even that is not painting a glowing picture.

 

[Cerberus]

Swann hasnt got his length right today.

Wonder if Broad might surprise us all?
