The Ashes 2013 Thread

Okay so why have England used over 600 players while the Aussies are in the 400's.

Because your 200 players crapper that's why. 400 Aussies is worth at least 600 Poms.

Now Macca lad, you know quite well we have to search the Commonwealth for players, then check their parentage to see if they can play for us.................we get it wrong sometimes as well

game on a knife edge here, can somebody explain why people are saying 165 is not enough for england atm? what was the score when agar should have been given out stumped? i know clarke may not get another duck which will push the score up; but steve smith certainly won't be getting 50 again that's for sure.

More bowler friendly conditions for anderson and swann as well.

hopefully we can bat out at least most of the rest of the session, nice 20's from broad and swann wouldn't go amiss. Bell needs to prove me wrong here though and get what will probably be his most important test ton - he always seems to get them when everyone else does so that would be a nice feat for him.

Bell is dragging England back into this.
Still need 100 more from the remaining 4 wickets, though.

Bat through untill lunch tomorrow, that should given England a good healthy lead, plus plenty of time to knock the Aussies over

Can't believe he hasn't been given out there lol! Broad should really walk as well to be honest

 

[Bigmaclad]

Wow, that's a poor decision

I'm listening to it on 5 live, Boycott is absolutely pissing himself laughing at it.

We were due one, like.

Shameful cheating by Broad. What a ********

Hope you said the same when Agar didn't walk yesterday.

 

[Walken]

Broads not the umpire to be fair, been a good team effort this, I've seen many an England side fold under this sort of pressure

 

[Duncan Disordely]

After the Agar not out, and the Trott out all I can say is

Heard them just say that on Sky Sports, what happened yesterday as missed that?

Agar was stumped but it was given not out, similarly Trott was given out LBW but it looked like he nicked it before it hit the pad
