Australia in England

[tsyrmas]

If i was english i would be a little woried, because most of the Australian batsmen are due for a big score. Punter got his in the last test, and now Martyn, Langer, Hayden, Gilchrist and Clarke are all lined up to get one. maybe our bad form is helping us!!

Well , I hope we are in for a great game in the next to tests , battles all around tense situations etc....

How can our bad form help us? If we didnt have bad form then the series wouldn't be 1-1

Bad form , or whatever it is. England have the edge, and not only do the Aussies have to start firing, they will have to have England play poorly as well.

England squad: MP Vaughan (Yorkshire, capt), ME Trescothick (Somerset), AJ Strauss (Middlesex), IR Bell (Warwickshire), KP Pietersen (Hampshire), A Flintoff (Lancashire), GO Jones (Kent, wkt), AF Giles (Warwickshire), MJ Hoggard (Yorkshire), SP Jones (Glamorgan), SJ Harmison (Durham), CT Tremlett (Hampshire).

No changes. Expected.

ok. so if england play well and aus play bad, then england will win. but if aus play well and england play well england will still win?

i must be misreading something.

It dont matter who you select!!! ENGLAND are guna win the ASHES!!! *crowd roar*

I support India mate.

 

[sachin]

Even though there were two hundreds scored in the aussie innings,there wasn't to much else from the other batsman.So in the end,not mas good a batting performance as has been made out.

 

[Annihilation66]

lol i thought the same thing. England dont have to play badly they can play like they did in the last 2 tests and still lose the ashes.

Listen to your captain even he said that u will need to improve if Australia start firing

 

[aussie1st]

Basically Aus have their 2 of their top 3 firing although Hayden is still unproven. Martyn if he can stay in could score a quick fire 100 the way he is going. Clarke is in good touch, katich not so. Gilly seems to be Flintoff's bunny. Warne on fire. Just need some of these guys to do the job with the bat preferrably not Warne again.

I support India mate.

So why do u love Australia so much, or is that you are scared that you will never become second in the world (or first), and that England will beat you after christmas at your own place

 

[Annihilation66]

Actually i know that India will get back to 2nd in the world if they start to play consistentely. And I dont love Australia i just think they are a much better team than India and England and i dont like England.

I would like to see you beat us at our place.

Tait got two wickets today. One is out for a duck. I think he will be in the 4rd Test match.

Breaking news: Tait gets 2 wickets. 1 bowled too. Kaspa currently 8 overs no wickets. I think we have our winner for the 3rd bowling spot.
