The ashes, it aint over yet. The spirit is there.

Sorry Bob, as much as I'd like to believe we have a chance, I think we've got Buckley's! If we dug up the Don's rotting corpse, he would probably do a better job than our current crop of batsmen ... :(

That is an outrageous statement. :angrylock:


He would at least need a warm up game against a county side first. :p:p

We are still in it, so far, Bob

...and maybe the monster Chris Tremlett will join the England team. What a frightening prospect for an already struggling batting line-up...if he's got 5 days in him.

As for Warner.....well he certainly has the talent with the bat and, you could argue, some form. Whether he can cope with the sort of sledging he's going to be served up, and the pressure of absolutely having to shoulder the burden of scoring runs for the team.....remains to be seen.

Either way you look at it, this is the game of the series.....must-win for the Aussies, the mongrel's back and the bogan's coaching the spinners.

God I LOVE test cricket.....especially the Ashes fixtures.

Trouble with the current lot is money and how they look, it's all about "does my bum look big in this":twisted:

Their heart is not in the game:mad:
