England v Australia - THE ASHES

[Elong]

Aussie certainly have the advantage of the 12th man when they're at home, in the name of Channel 9, with it's biased commentary, adding 10kph to the Aussie bowlers, propaganda machine and flooding the country with support our boys messages. It does give them a lift.

Freezing probably.

Freezing probably.

Lets hope not!

I want a full 5 nil whitewash!

 

[Minimeister]

I was half decent at cricket but never faced anything like this kind of pace. How the hell the batsman pick the line and length and then decide on what shot they'll play remains a mystery.

Ah I just saw injured and ruled out. BBC say personal reasons aye.

Don't know whether or not this is good or bad for England.

So, a Test debut for Neville, nearly 30 years old and averages about 44 in first-class cricket.
