England v Australia - THE ASHES

[Minimeister]

Aren't how the pitches play down to the ECB because they ask for these pitches?

Yes mate, probably was our choice but it just makes for absolute brain numbing cricket that people won't watch.

 

[Dannymini]

Shouldn't lose 20 wickets on this pitch

 

[Donald Twain]

I'm enjoying this actually.

 

[PITA]

Todays random bet

England V Australia - S Broad to be top England 1st innings Wicket Taker and England to win the match @ 17/2

Could be interesting conditions this morning, cloud cover and humid.

What are the odds now?

No mate it was the bowl cast and you only gets odds before play

sounds like they've rode their luck like as well as being presented with a road. aussies were failing to even beat the bat at cardiff

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Making average openers ( rogers) look great with the bat today. Should not have gone with a dead pitch..

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

So the likely outcome from this pitch is a draw?

Aussies will declare at 550ish, maybe more depending on how fast they score tomorrow. Then will be up to us not to fall apart. If we are behind by more than 150 we could be in trouble.

But I think we can bat it out for the draw.

 

[The Equaliser]

this. we asked for these pitches. no offence like but 4 dull roads like this and we retain the ashes. should at least be some entertainment though - this sounds dull.

Do the numbers 5 and 0 ring a bell perchance ?

 

[Garymc2412]

They will rub our noses in it bat to 600 thinking they will bat us out the game,then a couple of early wickets I expect 100 for2/3 at close
But they hurting cos no one expected us to win first test
They will want to annihilate us
Hope we can put up a good show but we have all the hard work to do now draw at best

Nothing a four day rain dance won't sort out
