The Ashes 2015

[DrRingDing]

So, predictions for today?

 

[Cerberus]

Early wickets. All out just after lunch. Staring down the barrel of a heavy innings defeat by stumps . Rain won't save England......

Optimistic enough?

 

[redsquirrel]

I think if England are going to get past the follow on Cook is going to have to make a big hundred.

 

[The Octagon]

It's Daddy Hundred time for Cook.

A brutal 100+ from Stokes wouldn't hurt either, then Butler and Moeen to finish off the rescue and make the aussies bat again.

Nurse? Nuuuurse?!

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Buttler's due his maiden test hundred.

 

[Athos]

Couple of England batsmen dig in and make enough to avoid the follow on, but all out towards the end of the day; lose most of tomorrow through rain; Aussies then try to smash some quick runs to leave a target England could never reach, before declaring to give themselves a chance at bowling us out; England hang on; draw.

 

[Spymaster]

That's the best case scenario.

 

[Athos]

Have faith!

 

[redsquirrel]

Good move by Clarke bringing Lyon on. Just feel Australian building the pressure a little.

 

[redsquirrel]

Bugger, nice bonus for Australia before lunch.

Buttler needs to show what he can do here, being flattering to deceive a bit recently.

 

[Idaho]

Haven't been watching or listening this morning. I seem to feel better for it.

 

[DrRingDing]

Well, it's all rather quiet here.

Make the cunts earn the win. Whatever the result, there's room for England to 'take the momentum' (as the ozzies put it when they're losing).

Next innings I think we can expect a proper opening partnership, runs from Bell, a quick fire ton from Butler and finally a swashbuckling 70 from Broad.

Make 'em sweat.

 

[redsquirrel]

Well Australia should clearly win, that said England couldn't ask for a better wicket for this situation. They should make them sweat for it, three sessions and push it into Monday at the minimum.

 

[butchersapron]

aus scared, england on front foot,

 

[redsquirrel]

Ha ha, Ali gets Warner out before he can make his century.

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Hahaha another chance for Warner to get on the lords honours board goes begging, see ya in four years cunty, if you're still around that is

 

[Santino]

Leaving England five sessions to get 500 runs. What were they thinking?

Haddin confirmed by cricket Oz. Family reasons. Hadn't realised his daughter had been so sick previously.

It may be a face saving excuse but hard to say given his families history.

on news here today they found a crude explosive device outside his house,http://www.skynews.com.au/news/top-stories/2015/07/18/explosive-device-reportedly-near-haddin-home.html

You can run brad, but you can't hide. Inside a massive mansion with locked gates and security cameras and guards and all that. We're getting closer.

 

[butchersapron]

Massively doable. This is the new era.

 

[Santino]

Compton for Lyth then.

 

[butchersapron]

Soon as he plays for a big club they pick him.

 

[liquidlunch]

see you later Cookie and dont appear that Bell will be long either

[Puddy_Tat]

[Mr.Bishie]

Five have arrived!

 

[Ponyutd]

It's very nearly laughable...in fact
Just when we thought we were ahead...they drag us back in.

 

[Ponyutd]

It's a new dawn.
Same as the old dawn.
