The Ashes 2010/11

[littlebabyjesus]

When was the last Test match drawn in Brisbane?

I don't think history is such a good guide any more. Australia no longer have the batsmen to take attacks to pieces. They will draw more games than they used to now they are mere mortals again. I think there will be periods of grinding by both sides in this series.

Have seen that, they went back up to 5.2 round here ages ago though.

edit: Damn my mistake, havent checked it for a while and it says 5%, ah well its still good!

I'm not into cricket enough to stay up all night for it (even though I've got the next two days off work ), but I shall enjoy going to sleep to the sounds of TMS

42 mins to go. got polish beers (warka, tatra, tyskie), bread / butter / sausages, bag of weed, bit of base speed, SORTED!!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Don't think the test itsself starts until midnight.

 

[gabi]

When's the toss? I've only got 4 beers left. This won't do.

 

[pennimania]

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?

Yes - me

I can't stay up late due to kids and stuff.

I love listening and letting a test grow and develop - the whole extended time thing is really important.

Thank god ( or the Beeb) for iplayer

 

[TrippyLondoner]

I advise you to buy some more, ive got 14 left. Can definitely tell the difference between 5.2 and 5% tonight...

edit: @gabi, obviously.

If you look at the 'strauss's, the swann's the broad's' hussain says, really hate when they add the s on like that

I'm on a £10 supermarket phone at the mo.

On the bright side at least I don't have to listen to Botham and Nasser droning on.

[TrippyLondoner]

Bothams good to listen to. Don't mind Nasser much.

 

[liquidlunch]

morning cunts,if you won the toss what would you do?

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Oooh, you used the words cunts, you're getting serious now eh?

 

[Santino]

Say what you see, Beefy, say what you see.

'He'll get two runs for that.'

'He's out there.'

'Misfield.'
