England v Australia - THE ASHES

[toffeejack]

let's see if this england team can chase! they SHOULD chase this down given the pitch and their batting line-up. Wood at 11!

aus 221-1 from those two partnerships, 78-6 from the rest.

should have wrapped it up early on tbh, crap catching.

A cameo knock underway from Taylor, one cover drive could have been Tendulkar

Always remember the big one day finals were teams batting first were usually rolled over. Was it the B+H cup? Or the Gillette trophy? Memories...

The Gillette Cup used to be 60 overs a side. A long day.

From Cricinfo

James: "England 58/1 off 8.3 overs. At the same stage, Aus were 30/3. Sadly this proves absolutely nothing!" Wise words

Stuff the Aussies at Old Trafford and it will complete a disastrous tour.

At the gym and it was on mate.

The shorter games like this and 20/20 I can watch quite happily.

No matter what the result Sunday, we've had two very competitive series against top class teams. The years we suffered being fed absolute tosh in the one day arena and losing series by 4 or 5-0. Took the selectors over 10 years to realise it like but they got there in the end.
