Just a game, chaps. And a jolly dull one too, what?
I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

Proof again that the Aussies don't like typical English Summers and England play better with a partizan crowd behind them.

Plenty more Cricket left in this game and the series.....

After two days of the third test......
I was thinking of putting a £1 on an Australian win......But not at the feeble odds the bookies are quoting.
They really don't trust England not to implode.......Even from this advantageous position.

I'm amazed at how poor both sides have been in this match with regards to batting. It does make for an interesting match but anyone with tickets for the weekend will be mightily peeved, given the likely finish today.

Nosher

People with tickets for day four/five get full refunds.

I dont think theyll care one iota when we go 2-1 up :D

Thanks for the info Nosher. If the Aussies build a lead of 130 plus, it could make for a tense finish to the match given both sides batting form...

Nosher

Dearie me Australia. Beaten by eight wickets in just over 2 & 1/2 days....

English Optimism 2 - Austrailian Smugness 1.

Bring on Trent Bridge.

I am the eternal pessimist !  :D
Then I'm absolutely delighted when things go better than expected !  ;)

Yeah, well, umm. What the hell happened? I  just spent 3 days crying into my beer and hoping when I sobered up it was all just a bad dream.

I guess now I know how it feels to be an English supporter  ;)

30 mins into the 4th test and the Ashes are ours  :D

It's an exceptional match when even I know the scores!!

I think either side would have struggled batting on that first. Saying that all test teams seem to have gone in to T20 mode these days trying to score at 4 to 5 an over
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!
