Thread: Ashes 2013!

Definitely out. Commentators can't believe it was ruled not out either....

Time to go to bed I think...

Saw this comment on the BBC News website, made me laugh:

England are actually losing. This is AUSTRALIAN RULES Cricket, similar to normal cricket, with a few exceptions:

1) If your name is Watson, you're only out if you say so
2) If an Aussie fielder questions your parentage 3 times you're out 'sledged'
3) Opposition batsmen must walk unless they prove they are not out.
4) You are out caught if an Aussie holds the ball and says 'I caught it'

With a lead of 566, 5 wickets still in hand, and a turning pitch, this should only go one way. However, there are always surprises in Ashes cricket, who knows what the next one will be.

Heads will roll for this and Lehmans tenure can be counted in days.

I am assuming that England with declare tonight and let Aus have 2 days to try and get 500+ runs.

I'd agree. I reckon they'll declare just before lunch so they have a few overs at Australia before the interval, then 5 sessions to take the ten wickets.

And they will only need 1/2 day max to bowl Australia out!.
