Aussies approached to throw the series?

Thought this was going to be Strauss going all Churchillian, but at least he realises that taking 20 wickets is the issue!

I liked this bit:
'The Oval is the ground upon which England famously reclaimed the Ashes in 2005.' Let's have some Deja-vu.

Did you get a ticket LCAB?[/QUOTE]

Bit quiet in here LCAB whats going on Chief?

Spearhead Siddle touching up the poms again.

Alas , No . Brewsties . £ 800 and I'm an England member . Fukas . Not like L.C.A.B. at Cardiff , face fukn value btw .

McB , we're actually turning up .
You's have looked like a bowling unit , post Bham .

We should do this every two years . Not four . Can't beat the Ashes .

Finest sporting rivalry on the planet .

 

[McBain]

Glad no-ones watching this one....

carry on

 

[chicoazul]

Oh Im watching it.

Dont worry, you can count on the English weather.

 

[Goat]

Looks like we getting that little urn thingy.

 

[NeoNaoNeo]

Annoying little couple of hours at the end there.

They won't....surely..

They won't....surely..

Oh , they might . It's the convicts , remember ???
This is why it's the ultimate . 5 days , to / fro . Bowlers on top , then batters .
Crux of the whole series will be Ponting . Btw , I hope the booing gets sacked for tomorrow . He may be a little nark , but he's a bonefide leg' , in his last innings in U.K. Thus , respect is merited .

As for the game . Swann , possibly Colly may have a part, will do the bulk , plus poss reverse , circa 40-50 overs .
Game , and series , ( and bragging rights , ... ) on !!!

L.C.A.B's Saturday of the Fifth Test teaser ;
Looky-Likey ;

Verhinda Sehwag -Jonathon Trott . With obvious skin tone diffs removed , defo separated at birth .

 

[NeoNaoNeo]

Thought the way Ponting took that smack in the face was frightening. Like a Tasmanian Devil that man.

 

[McBain]

He's a bit of a weapon old Ponting. Just give him a bit of respect, Its the last time you'll see him in the whites leading us convicts out on your turf.

Well well. Massive, massive day ahead and its all come down to this.

Whoever wins I'm hoping this goes down as an el classico. Right to the wire. New blood in the England ranks (Broad and Trott) standing up, a few of the old guard bowing out.

Bring on Day 4!

 

[GhostOfDixie]

weren't they 70 odd for no wicket in the 1st Innings also?

 

[Lao]

Well in Trotters, Broad comes of age, Swann, some really good performances overall. I've been particularly pleased with Broad last two tests. Let's finish the job.

They have got two whole days to take it nice and slow though and knock of the 500 and odd required, can they do it? Nah, not even the Aussies. Sunny day forecast for the London area tomorrow, hopefully we wont need Monday. They're coming home!!!
