The Ashes 2013 Thread

[Bigmaclad]

England have been strangled by their own negativity. You even look at the pitches and England have asked them to be slow dry pitches in the hope that Swann will spin them to victory, arguably it has worked, but looking at the array of bowling talent they have this series could have been won all the more convincingly.

Chris tremlett took 8 wickets for surrey, if he plays in oz he will be our most effective bowler

Imagine if England started losing cricket games, be worse than the Everton forum this thread.

Aye, there's possibly a fair chance of it happening. Which is why we should enjoy English cricket being successful while we can. The memories of the 90s and early 2000s are still fresh with me!

I thought this was the Natural World Order for a long time. Only just getting used to us being good, and we're already starting to be sh*t again!

Aussies declare at Tea. 227 off 44 for England to win. Really hope they go for it, but I dont think they will from the off.

Could be a surprisingly interesting last day after all!

Very, very reachable target here.

Would have thought so wouldnt you? But last day, unrestricted fields, you just never know.

 

[bluejock]

Root gone.

...game declaration from the Aussie's, suspect the conservative English nature will kick in. I'd love us to go for it but fear of losing will probably see the game fizzle out, especially if we lose a few more wickets. Thought Peterson might have come in ahead of Trott.

 

[Eggs]

...worth watching the next 20 overs with Pieterson in.

 

[roydo]

What, 120 odd from 20 overs, 9 wickets in hand? 4-0 is ON!

 

[bluejock]

Peietersen bang up for this. If he stays in, England win this.

 

[tsubaki]

Fair play to Clarke in going for the win, when theres a good chance he would go down in history as the captain of the worst Australia team ever to tour England.
