Australia in England

Show you a pic of the video? im not sure how to, im not all tha technical for a 19 year old :P but I was dressed up as Fred Flinstone! and yes I will get half refund as only 12 overs bowled.

Yes monday if its still on-going will be grand. Should be able to get in with a bit of luck! Flinstone costume will not be worn though!

Warne getting a 100 would cap of his 600th wicket making this probably Warne's most memorable game. Maybe Aus winning would make it a triple

 

[JamesyJames3]

or not!

well i think they would have to bowl us out for about 100 to win the match, as i can't see them getting more than 310.

Well first thing they need is the tail to do what the batters were meant to do. If they can somehow get a lead (very optimistic thinking) then who knows from their. But problem will be they would have to score pretty fast to make a result occur. England are in the box seat for winning the game but the longer Aus tail stays on the field the lesser the chance of winning becomes.

Hopefully this knock from the great SK Warne has knocked some sense into the batsmen and will be the turning point in the series. Gillespie has batted awesome with Warne, blocking out everything leaving the attacking strokes to Warne.

*hopes for more rain*

Well guys I seriously believe that this time around its gonna be extremely tough for the aussies, even if they are to escape out of england with a 2-1 or so ashes series win. They have being underestimating the strength of this english team, especially the aussie batters have against this magnificent bowling unit. The only prob is that England need to dismiss the tail a bit more qucikly. Put the effort in to work the batsmen out, especially Shane. But overall the english are on the rise in this series. The aussie attack is next to depleted i feel, and should replace Jason and Glen for 2 reasons. Mainly Gillespie's form is terrible and Glen for injury purposes. At 32 u cant get younger, and ankle injuries probably the worst injury aint gonna heal quickly. Inject some young fast bowlers to suopport Warney and Brett and see what happens. They (Asutralia) have got to realise these factors sooner than later, if they are to keep the Ashes. England need to believe that they are very much on their way to regaining the Ashes, and will need to keep the stranglehold and never let go.

I agree that Dizzy should be dropped, whenever he bowls it looks like he is strolling in the park. McGrath I don't agree with as he will have a lot more time to recover for the next test. Tait I feel is the best man for the job.

 

[squiz]

Whenever Dizzy comes on to bowl you can just see the English batsmen licking their chops. He's England's 12th player

I wonder what will happen if they just bring Symonds in for Gillespie? He is hitting 50's and 100's for his County Club. Don't understand this.

If they want to win the Ashes again, they need to put in the persons who are in form.

And Gillespie went for 114 runs from just 19 overs. Exactly 6 runs an over.

These are changes I think should occur for the fourth test:
Mike Hussey for Matthew Hayden (Poor form)
Brad Hodge for Michael Clarke (Injured)
Shane Watson for Simon Katich (Poor form)
Shaun Tait for Jason Gillespie (Poor form)

Mike Hussey is on fire for Durham, Brad Hodge is Australia's next middle order batsmen in the queue, Shane Watson is also on fire for Hants, and Shaun Tait's record speaks for itself

Good replacements. I only don't see Hodge coming in. Australia play with normally three pacers and one spinner on normal pitches in Test matches.

It would be better to replace Clarke with Symonds. And Watson and Hussey are in very good form. And I have never seen Tait bowl. I hope he will get a chance soon in upcoming Tests.

The rain might have just saved the Aussies.

And will be the last thing to save Aussies
