England v Australia - THE ASHES

something i noticed by about that mooen ali (yaya toure) chant from the crowd, was wondering if there was any other names that could fit it and there isn't. By that i realised just how short all our names are, especially if anderson get's replaced by wood as seems suspected.

7 players with 4 letter surnames!

lyth
cook
bell
root
bairstow
stokes
buttler
ali
broad
wood
finn

surely a few records here - almost certainly the least amount of letters for a full 11?

Remember when Finn was "unselectable" lol. What morons the ECB are.

Considering when he was bowling in the nets 2 years ago he was bowling it into the sides of the cage I'd say that would probably be a decent reason not to pick him.

Really pleased for him, worrying on Anderson though, if he doesn't get right for the last two matches it's going to be a tough battle for England.
 
Jimmy Anderson could be to us what McGrath was in 05. A series changing loss, if he is goosed for the final 2 tests.

....they are currently 16-1 to win the match, a lead of 150 will make it interesting.

by the luck they've been riding today already it aint the worst bet. if these two can get past finn and broad england will start to worry i think.

shouldn't do like, but it's in the nature.
 

breathes sigh of relief. i've heard the pitch is suppose to play better as the game goes on which makes you wonder why clarke batted first. especially in bowler friendly conditions on the first day
