5th Test: England vs Australia at the Brit Oval

[SciD]

I reach home and see this. :laugh

Broad is going to have statue in London if England wins. can't see them loosing now and pitch is behaving like Mumbai's spitting cobras.

 

[xvalerianx]

Last I saw was 85-0 LOL.

Loving this so much!

Yes. Even I am shocked to see the score. I thought Australia would end up with a lead of 100-150. Well bowled Broad. :hpraise

 

[Howsie]

Was Siddle trying to give the English catching practice there?

 

[aussie1st]

Haha random way to get off the mark, almost got himself caught but we'll take all the runs we can get.

 

[barmyarmy]

England surely have it in the bag from here, as long as they keep their heads.

No, it's too big a game for it to be that simple. Plus the fact that with England playing nothing is ever straight forward.

Well we may even see a statue of Broad in Mumbai. We love England,and if England wins the Ashes,even we Indians will become mad with happiness. :happy

Colin you sounded an awful lot like me there.

And it will come as no surprise to you lot that I still don't think we'll win.

Broad and Swann have teared Australia a new hole.

Well done England, well on your way. Johnson going for a counter attack.

I'm a sceptical idealist but also a realist.
I said after we were all out for 330 that we would win but I don't think it'll be easy.

It is that simple. Australia have 3 wickets in hands trailing by 200 odd runs on day 2. The importance of the game doesn't make that situation any different.

For England to bottle this, it would require some very bad luck, or some extremely terrible cricket. Which I am aware England are capable of doing, but still, I'm confident England will win this. Australia don't have the right team picked to save it.

Good to see these two are playing their shots, hopefully they don't get out soon making them look silly doing so.

Don`t you worry mate. With the intensity with which the england bowlers are bowling today,am sure England will wrap up the ashes soon. :banana2

 

[nz0003]

Hauritz and Lee would of been handy right now.

 

[SciD]

Siddle will be hard to handle in third innings. I want Australia to get 100 more runs to make things spicy.

 

[barmyarmy]

This Aussie tail can wag for starters; that's the first priority.
