The 2009 Ashes series thread

[Steelers]

Can't believe one of these hasn't been started yet. The first Ashes test has started, and England are looking the goods. England are currently 6/327 with 3 overs left on day 1.

After the toss I felt that England could rack up 400 and make a game of it, and they are on track. The Aussies are going to struggle batting late in this match against the poms 2 spinners. Loving the Test cricket after all the carnival T20's.

Australia started very well but have let England get a decent score and to be honest, the Aussies are gonna need a solid performance at the crease to have a chance of winning especially after how we saw how easily they can collapse like they did against RSA a few times.

It would be great to retain the Ashes but i'm a bit over cricket now, maybe it is about time Australia had a challenge!

England made 435
Australia 1/249 at stumps on day 2

I don't know how to explain it, but he makes it painfully obvious that he is reading from a script. It sounds like a bunch of speeches by grade 4 students. Surely they could have got someone better and had MacGill as one of the extra panel like Martyn and Matthews. The 2005 pairing of Simon Hill and Greg Matthews/Dean Jones was so much better.

[Adelaide Titan]

Aussies should go for a 200 run lead and then bowl the poms out and win the game otherwise this games heading for a timewasting draw!
