He's treacherous filth.

I know, I know. But he writes good columns.

 

[butchersapron]

Btw, prediction by weds night please people.

Edit: results for each ground if you're feeling well confident

 

[butchersapron]

I know, I know. But he writes good columns.

He understands some parts of cricket (the technical stuff) , some others, the ones that build on the other bits (spirit, collectivity) he doesn't.

5-0 England

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I really don't have a clue about this one. Stab in the dark – 3:1 England. But it could easily be the other way round. Two middling teams, basically.

ETA:

results for each ground:

Brisbane E
Perth A
Adelaide D
Sydney E
Melbourne E

Ticket prices for the first test: AU$30–80. Whole series live on free-to-air telly.

How it should be. Oh that English cricket were not run by such a bunch of cunts.

Yes, but over here we don't have stupid interruptions for half n hour anymore or whatever it is, they still do.

3-1 england

 

[DrRingDing]

We need to win Brisbane; if that happens I reckon 4-1 to England.

No draws, our bowling and the weather is too good.

 

[liquidlunch]

Well one thing is for certain,WE cant lose the ashes.
Beware the out of sorts Aussies.We are never more dangerous than when our backs are against the wallWatch out pommy fans,dont get too cocky

eta;all pleasant banter ends in 48 hours time,from then on its WAR.
You bunch of lilly livered,soap shy,pillow biting nancy boys(just practicing)lol

 

[Santino]

I've always found the Aussies to be most dangerous when they have a settled squad, a captain with the full confidence of his country, a series of recent wins in the bag and Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist and Glenn McGrath playing for them.

 

[strung out]

my bro's taken out a sky sports sub for the ashes, so i have a feeling i'll be taking duvet/sleeping bag round there and not getting much sleep!

 

[Santino]

Having read a little about Clarke's back injury, it seems Australia would be insane to pick him. If he's not able to bat in practice on the Monday before a Thursday start, would you really want to gamble on him being fit for the full five days? I can't see him playing all five Tests at any rate.

Aggers for me on TMS the result of the series is not the most important thing but the joy of a test series .I think the current form favours england but have watched the aussies for to long to not expect them to fight hard

It's been permanently interrupted from where I'm sat.

I do love a test match.

I am thinking of not listening to any news/etc but listening to TMS on the iplayer the following day and pretending it's live. Anyone planning to do the same?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Um, no...

But I do admire the principle
