Sorry to be an Eeyore but looks like rain at Leeds for at least the first 2 days?

Typical fucking headingley I want classic cricket not washed out cricket!

This series has had its moments and would've had more if it weren't for the rain. We got lucky with the weather in 2005.

Not to mention the umpiring

You're the first pom I've come across to mention that series. It seems to have been airbrushed out entirely outside australia.

I remember it, simon jones got injured then didn't he? Shame really.

 

[kabbes]

Pfft -- losing to Australia in Australia is like breathing or falling if you jump of a cliff. It's just a natural consequence.

[mattie]

Perhaps because it happened in a land and timezone far, far away.

 

[liquidlunch]

We'll shut up about winning the greatest Test series ever when you sort out the spacing with your smilies.

We really don't care about 2006/7 but it has been mentioned, just not as much, cause it sucked. Where as 2005 was a classic.

 

[Badgers]

Bit suprised by Trott joining the squad but bit of new blood and all that...

 

[HobgoblinMan]

Trott, another South African

 

[Brixton Hatter]

never heard of him!

got an average of 83 this year though.

he probably wont get to play.

 

[Santino]

The England selectors continue to favour players whose names that can be adapted for punning headlines, as detailed elsewhere by me.

 

[g force]

He's played well this year for the Bears - always liked him too. He's more of a Collingwood type than KP, more graft and grit than technique, could be just what England need.

What position does he bat?

I was pretty busy 2006/7. What happened again, some kinda cricket contest?

Oh, I just checked and it turns out we were right.

There was no contest whatsoever.

 

[g force]

What position does he bat?

Anywhere really - he's opened for us with Westwood, played at 3, 4 and 5

 

[Santino]

played at 3, 4 and 5

 

[liquidlunch]

whats going on lads???

 

[kabbes]

What's going on where?

 

[Flashman]

Flintoff having his weekly fitness test, Lily Allen is a big cricket fan and might pop in to see Aggers and the TMS boys at the Oval.

 

[liquidlunch]

hope Stu Clark plays,Manou as well

 

[Relahni]

Thinking about putting a hefty bet (fifty pence) on the series ending 1-1.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Thought it started today, odd to have a test match over here start on a friday isnt it???

 

[strung out]

so there's enough time between tests
