England v Australia - THE ASHES

[ToffeeDoug]

All over.

Cummins is a pretty decent bowler really.

Can certainly wang it down, as Jeff Thompson used to say. 94 mph, good luck to him, great to see.

Fuming they threw that away after getting into such a great position. Still was a good day out drinking and eating too much

There is so much fancy dress in cricket these days, anything goes.

After 8 hours' hospitality It could have been a hundred blue llamas and they'd all get in.

England lose the toss and bowl. Aussies 2-0, Warner retired hurt.Plunkett in for Wood.

appaling to bring plunkett in instead of willey. we've only just played a WC and he's 30! he'll be too old for the next WC anyway you'd imagine - especially given his injury record. need to be building for the future and there's a high probability willey will be part of that.

Like Watson for the Aussies ; Australia 69-1

yeah. with a test series it's a bit different because there is no world cup to prepare for etc. you just pick your best team. as soon as a world cup has passed in one-day cricket you should be looking to the next one imo. aussies have batted well here, england kept it tight to start with but now they're going to get a big score on a pitch doing a fair bit.
