[lestaboy]

goody goody nice shot by broady

 

[SL_Fan]

Shot good reply from Broad bean

 

[lestaboy]

hope broad supports bairstow

 

[lestaboy]

eng need in acess of 260-270

 

[Ims1]

England will score around 280-290 & that should be competitive .

 

[SL_Fan]

Eng looking to go after the bowling. Makes sense better off getting their bowlers have a crack in these conditions if things don't work out rather than try to hang around.

 

[SL_Fan]

200 up

 

[SL_Fan]

Out broad bean goes

 

[Ruri]

Magnificient by Siddle. Our top order needs to be flogged.


I was trying to be the voice or reason and was pointing to our brainless collapse prone batsmen as a reason we could lose. But people bought into the hype that we were infallible.

 

[lestaboy]

oh seems like no ball

 

[leatherface58]

Hadlee is gone

[Madplayer]

Hatrick ball.

 

[lestaboy]

32 0vers are left after this

 

[wrongun]

Ooh hoo the Ashes are alive!

 

[Justcrazy]

I always supported Siddle , there was thread that questioned him ...... I always believed Siddle is under rated.

 

[Ruri]

Move Root to open. Put Bairstow at 6 because he is a class player and better than Compton they said. Thanks Yorkshire mafia and selectors. Just because Root is a precocious talent... it doesn't mean Bairstow is suddenly part of the package deal.

 

[lestaboy]

aussie 100 all out

 

[Madplayer]

Will it be a hatrick? I predict NOT

 

[lilFlip]

Stark on fire!

And people were predicting a 5-0 to England

 

[Justcrazy]

Great start by Aussies ......... Bowling was always there strong suit here

 

[lestaboy]

Move Root to open. Put Bairstow at 6 because he is a class player and better than Compton they said. Thanks Yorkshire mafia and selectors. Just because Root is a precocious talent... it doesn't mean Bairstow is suddenly part of the package deal.

who is yorkshire mafia ( boycot)

 

[Justcrazy]

Stark on fire!

And people were predicting a 5-0 to England

Let both sides bat first.

 

[Justcrazy]

It will be great session to see Aussies bat here

 

[SL_Fan]

Around 25-30 overs left in the day for Eng to have a good crack at the Aussie line-up

 

[lestaboy]

i still believe ashes belongs to eng this time around

 

[lestaboy]

inside edge i beleive

 

[Madplayer]

Review taken by aus. I think he hit it.

 

[lestaboy]

oh no edge

 

[SL_Fan]

That looks out to me

 

[lestaboy]

out it seems

 

[lestaboy]

not out

 

[Madplayer]

Has not hit it. Umpires call though.

 

[lestaboy]

gud umpireing

 

[Justcrazy]

review again.

 

[SL_Fan]

Oooo umps call. Not out. Just a few mm off the centre of the ball. Starc unlucky there. Not a fan of umpires call.

 

[Ruri]

who is yorkshire mafia ( boycot)

And Vaughan. And a vocal media. Yorkshire gets more sway than other counties. It's alumni are vocal and rather proud of pushing Yorkshire onto the England setup and then the media runs with it.

 

[Madplayer]

I predict Patto to take the last one

 

[lestaboy]

it wont be easy for aus. there batting is very fragile

 

[Master Blaster]

Wow....need 1 more.......quick..quick...

 

[lestaboy]

And Vaughan. And a vocal media. Yorkshire gets more sway than other counties. It's alumni are vocal and rather proud of pushing Yorkshire onto the England setup and then the media runs with it.

dont worry mate let aus bat they wont score more than 150

 

[lestaboy]

goner all out

 

[SL_Fan]

That's it then. 215 all out

 

[lestaboy]

215 all out

 

[SL_Fan]

Vegan destroyah

 

[lestaboy]

no worries i know eng bowling is to strong for aus fragile batting

aus only have 2 batters watson and clarke that's it

 

[Madplayer]

I predict Patto to take the last one

Will it be a hatrick? I predict NOT

All hail mad player

 

[lilFlip]

Top stuff by the Aussies

 

[Justcrazy]

215 all out

 

[SL_Fan]

Trott's wicket the turning point imo. He looked in great touch before that brain fart.

 

[SwingNSeam]

good stuf by the Aussies.

 

[wrongun]

no worries i know eng bowling is to strong for aus fragile batting

aus only have 2 batters watson and clarke that's it

S Waugh & M Taylor came as nobodies and announced themselves to the world in 1989. Could just be a couple will do the same this time.

 

[SL_Fan]

good stuf by the Aussies.

Long time champ. Where have ya been?

 

[Master Blaster]

Aussies tried their best to keep the runs flowing....

Pommies tried their best to keep the wickets falling.....

Pommies win...Advantage Aussies.

Move Root to open. Put Bairstow at 6 because he is a class player and better than Compton they said. Thanks Yorkshire mafia and selectors. Just because Root is a precocious talent... it doesn't mean Bairstow is suddenly part of the package deal.

They said the same thing about there being an Essex bias in the English team when Andy Flower took over. Goochy was brought in as batting coach. Bopara was the Bairstow and Cook was Root. Though, I wouldn't have minded if Bops was playing today considering the form he has been in.
