THE ASHES - first test.

I love my test cricket, so much so I've taken the week off to watch it.

Australia have a great start at the Gabba with two out already on a pitch with a lot in it.

GO AUSSIES...smash those Poms!

  • This should be a cracker of a series.

  • Should be a walk in the park for Aus. Baring weather, it's should end 5-0.

    England batting weak, Anderson, Broad and Archer out makes the bowling even weaker.

  • Ist ball of the entire series. This is as bad as when Harmison sent the first ball to 4th slip. 5-0 here we come. 

  • Cricket has largely become a game where sides only win in home conditions and England are the ultimate home conditions side. James Anderson, arguably their best ever bowler, is a grade level trundler with a Kookaburra ball. 

    1. Hazelwood should take them through the  rincers ( repeat )  . weather permitting  Australia  should  have this  one in the  bag . man of match Steve Smith  , wot ya rek grunts?
    • I reckon Hazlewood or Smith for man of the series. I'm not silly enough to predict a 5-0 whitewash after last summer.

  • This pitch is fast, bouncy and swinging. England in big trouble.

    • Well that sounds just spiffing.

      Die, Pom

  • I was at the game yesterday, right above the Barmy Army. Shoulda heard the roar after Mitch knocked over Rory Burns.

I would be surprised if Ryles would be interested in Hazelwood, especially when he is probably on about 300 a season, which is his right sort of price."
