Ashes

[Kal123]

Anyone watching this?

England are 98/8

Finally Australia have decided to play =D

[GetToDaChopa]

As big of a cricket fan as i am, I have not seen a single minute of the ashes series. Ever since Shane Warne stopped playing i haven't been watching cricket that much at all.

[Verynice]

theres just something odd about cricket when
- its on SBS
- its winter/half way through the year
- where are all the good commentators at?

[Kal123]

102/9

34th over haha...

EDIT:

Hahahahah all out 104.

**** me.

[HamaTime™]

HAHA! England are getting screwed!!! pretty funny though. The Headingly pitch has a massive amount of swing. Every single wicket was taken through an edge or a misplayed bouncer....It's going to be an interesting test, even more interesting Aussie innings. Let's hope they play smart and don't go fishing in dangerous waters while the ball is still new and the pitch is bouncy and swinging so much.

[Troy711]

I usually watch it but I haven't this series. Do we actually still have a chance of winning the Ashes or is a draw the best we can hope for?

[ashbox]

i don't think we really showed up to play cos we are 4/196, we're doing better but not that much better

[HamaTime™]

lol and then we are 6/360!

[elemeNtz]

destruction haha

[HamaTime™]

And England's 2nd innings is....5/82

I think it is safe to say we will win by an innings and then some

[elemeNtz]

I'm almost disapointed, i was looking forward to something interesting on tv during the week

[nick3110]

yeh i went to bed bout 2 overs before they collapsed for the 2nd time

[TVR-190]

i like how they blamed their failure on the fire alarm in their hotel going off

[Wherry951]

GO ENGLAND!

Sorry im from the uk...... lol

[stevieVT]

i love how SBS covers it. but if it was in Australia 9, 10 or 7 would be all over it like a fat kid on cake

[mrhotdog]

We thrashed the poms good and hard this time, its stupid how the ashes never leaves england, stupid MCC/ECB

[TrikkBen]

Nah bro come on. Billy Bowden is a legend, it's his personal style. I'm not sure whether it is true but what I heard is that he has arthritis or some bone condition that forces him to do that. I don't know...still he's one of the best umps out there man, better than Rudi Koertzen.

[TrikkBen]

Fair enough if he's got a bung finger, but i remember he used to lift his leg... is he mentaly challenged to...

[Lumps of cheese]

better than Rudi Koertzen.

Yeah he's a shocking umpire, some of his decisions have been terrible throughout the series. Aleem Dar is pretty good.

[HamaTime™]

Yeah he'd lift his leg up and then curl both his index fingers and proceed to thrust the air with his fists. That was his way of saying a batsman had hit a 6!!! haha, nah he's a gun, I don't know what his deal his, alot of people either love him or hate him. As far as I'm concerned he makes good decisions and he's not a toss pot...

Billy Bowden

He was a player until he began to suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and took up umpiring.

And Aleem Dar is pretty sweet as well, my other favorite would by the black guy from the west indies, Steve Bucknor.

[Troy5L]

yeh ive been watchin it....pretty good how the aussies won! all we can hope for is eitha a win or draw and we win the series!
they should of had clarke in for the other tests, could of changed the outcome of them

[Pete SS]

Not all laughing now are you? ha ha

Seriously though, it was a good competition this year. Is anyone going to be watching the 20twenty in a week or two?

[Grennan]

Well Australia fail.

[hsvpunk]

Barmy Army, Barmy Army.

The poms out played the aussies.
Ponting is shit, they should brought the spinner in (none of this part time bullshit, North, and Clarke)

oh and Hussey... to little to late. first time you scored 100+ in 28matches.
