The Ashes 2015

[BandWagon]

Spot on. Chasing more than 100 will be tough.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Anderson has been ruled out for the rest of Edgebaston (such as it is) and the fourth test at Trent Bridge. His availability for the final test will be determined later.

 

[BandWagon]

Shit.

 

[The Octagon]

At least we don't have to make the awkward call between Wood and Finn now

 

[Cerberus]

24 runs of the first 3 overs.......hhhmmmm.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

24 runs of the first 3 overs.......hhhmmmm.

Sounds like half of them have been edges though. Can't keep that up for too long.

 

[The Octagon]

Finn having the game of his life right now.

2 more to get...

 

[Lord Camomile]

Think it's fair to say the batting has been shoddy. Broad and Moeen with the highest partnership!

This should not be a pie chart.

 

[Lo Siento.]

Chasing 120 or more

 

[Limejuice]

Chasing 120 or more

Only just "more".

 

[Dan U]

If we can't knock that off on a day 3 wicket we don't deserve the bloody thing tbh.

Keep it under 150 though.

Eta last line now redundant [emoji41]

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Chasing 120 or more

They'd have been aiming for less but if they can't get that they don't deserve to win tbh.

 

[kabbes]

Nobody should ever have to feel nervous about making 120.

 

[Mogden]

This should not be a pie chart.

No it should be a cricket tea Victoria Sponge [emoji14]

Just in from work and I'm nervous about this next bit.

Having said that I do like the unpredictability of it, makes for a good game as opposed to a forgone conclusion.

Yup. I was hoping the tail would wag a bit for the aussies.

I'm not sure i want the hiding from the daleks behind the sofa feel that the last in the 2005 series had but a bit of tension makes for good viewing/listening.

I'm just being selfish cos I want to listen to it on my drive to Shropshire. Bell will bring it home after a a couple of post lunch squeaky bum wickets

 

[Mogden]

I've got TMS on and about to cuddle Flinty, my cricket named cat, for a bit of good luck

 

[BandWagon]

They made 103 last time out in the 4th innings...

 

[Mogden]

Bugger me Bell shaped!

 

[The Octagon]

Bell's decided he wants to be done by 3ish here

 

[Mogden]

TMS said date to get to perhaps

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

If you're defending 120, why would you let the other team get 50-odd before bowling your most threatening bowler?

Is Johnson injured?

ETA: Apparently not. Odd tactics.

 

[friedaweed]

G'wan Belly

 

[agricola]

they should get rid of Lyth solely for reviewing that, it was the definition of plum

 

[friedaweed]

So my preciction's working out. Come ding the Bell

 

[friedaweed]

Lunch, tea, drinks, biscuits, canapes Bloody toffs . I've gotta drive in a minute.

 

[friedaweed]

Right off to Shropshire. Well in Belly

 

[Santino]

I don't think there's a law requiring Tea to be delayed if a result is imminent. I wonder if common sense will prevail.
