the ashes...

[theledge]

...are approaching fast, anyone else into the game of gentlemen (thats cricket to you, snooch :; )

[Esox Lucius]

cricket is bollocks, although the fans love a beer or two so fair play.

[theledge]

no mate cricket is the shizzle, no better way to spend five days of your time watching two teams fight out a draw

[dan the acid man]

yeah i like it when its exciting, im not into watching two batsmen stay in for 2 days hitting 250 each, thats just boring, i think we'll get hammered though unless we start playing better

[french_og]

Yeah can't wait, think the Auzzies will win though, we are missing Simon Jones big time and Harmison is stgruggling.

[basslinejunkie]

my bros going to watch it and have a hol,lucky shit.cricket im nto the biggest fan of tho,but the last ashes was top

[kai]

Not exactly a massive fan but used to play local village cricket as a young un so have an interest and was rekindled to an extent by the Ashes win.


Really hope we can defend the Ashes - really rub it in to retain them in Oz after all the years of pastings we took - but tbh I'll be even more gobsmacked than lst time if we do it! Think that was this England teams peak and they'll struggle to ever get that back again.

[french_og]

We have got some good young players coming through and Panesar is a quality spin bowler.

Just for me we will miss Simon Jones's pace espiecally with Flintoff not fit enough yet to bowl.

[dan the acid man]

yeah, all the injuries are our biggest problem really, since we won the ashes, we've not been able to keep a fit side together
