2015 Ashes

[whufc]

Result: 3-0 Australia
Wickets: Broad
Runs: Smith
Spud it up: Warner

Rogers has a good record v England in England as well

If Rogers makes the most runs it will be a boring series

Reckon Rogers will have a cracker if he plays.

Potentally last ever Ashes series.

Coming off a hit the head also will have him ultra tuned in and really knuckled down to the job at hand.

Should collect on him most runs first innings

Yay!!!

Lol, Cook hit flush in the cods at slip

I would've had sympathy if it was anyone else.

Root was at 2nd slip and pissing himself laughing

Lol

Haddin rooting that catch is quite costly right now

He's next in. Time to redeem himself.

17 to Warner and 95 to Rogers... good start to my predictions

[Dogwatcher]

How's 3-0 looking?

How's 3-0 looking?

Think this test could be a draw still.. but 3-0 is beginning to look increasingly unlikely

You're up an about and with good reason. My tip was 2-1 Australia and that is with more than a hint of optimism. Test matches are won by bowlers and we are carrying the reverse Alderman, Mitchell Johnson. He was the reason we won five nil last time and he may be the reason we hand back the urn this time.

Someone said this series has a 2005 feel about it because we didn't make the hard decision on established players, and Watson was named. However the players who might bob up in this series as those who have been carried while we cough up the Ashes could be Haddin and Johnson.

At present our attack is carrying the reverse Alderman which puts a lot of strain on the other bowlers who are very green with the exception of Lyon and the fifth bowler Watson. Haddin is a shit truck and I'd stamp his papers at the end of this test and give Nevill the gloves but it is not that easy with Johnson who could swing the Ashes with one devastating spell.

Not panic stations yet but England would be smiling so far. Johnson ineffective and Harris retired would be music to the Poms' ears. Johnson remains the key to this series just as he was the last. We don't need him to win the Ashes by himself, but we need him to contribute across the series. How he bats tonight could be just as pivotal as the dropping of Root because history has shown that when Mitch bats well, his bowling often improves.

Forget the bash and crash stuff Johnno..you've got a Duke toy. Pitch it up and you will be rewarded. You might get lucky and get one decent wicket but chin music won't get the job on the majority of the tracks over there. Why would the Poms prepare a greentop? They know full well why they lost last time.

Brains not brawn.

always the ball after the bouncer that is the most dangerous.

5/264 with our batsman still to come lets hope the tail wags big time

Yes let's hope so but let's also hope it doesn't come to that. Watson has a golden opportunity to make a vital contribution and get us to a possible lead by the end of the innings. Time to show your worth mate and not leave it up to the bowlers to pick up the slack with the bat.

My tip (maybe some reverse psychology here), he'll throw it away and get out to Ali in the first or second over he faces him and therefore leave it up to the bowlers to get the runs.

For F**k Sake Watson, you f**king sack.

Watson LBW second over ffs!
Reckon he was a bit stiff though

[The Dark Knight]

Watson has just made and ruined my Friday night at the same time.

[The Dark Knight]

Watson LBW second over ffs!
Reckon he was a bit stiff though

Nah f**k him. Watson LBW is just a free wicket to the Poms with Broad bowling stump to stump to him.

My finger was straight up!

[The Dark Knight]

Lyon plumb LBW. Aus 7/265
