The Ashes - Australia 2013/14

Nice one mate, even with Cooks negative captaincy we will smash you all over the shop, just the way it is right now

I like michael Clarke, but he made a real tit of himself in that presser to day, naming the england team, think he was expecting a few laughs, looked like a real awkward moment

Yep. Awkward.

...very unusual if not unknown for 2 series' to be so close. I suppose they could've rolled it up into a single home/away event. Some great pictures above, now looking forward to the games. I 'm sure it will be harder down under but expect England to win.

You eggspected wrong there matey.

The Ashes was lost from about the 1st afternoon of the first test.

This England team is more interested in 500 page instruction manuals on dietary requirements than it is on playing Test cricket. They're a complete joke.

There is that, some of what that went on was a bit OTT but why did the umpires not get stuck in and get control? Too chicken?

Having said that the England to be fair have been U/s and a whitewash is on the cards.

Have to say you poms have a beaut in Stokes going to be a fantastic allrounder

Fair play to the Aussies, they take their chances, they rarely bowl a bad ball (think of the last time you can remember Siddle or Harris bowling a half tracker? I can't), their tail save them when the chips are down. It's like watching us a few years ago.

Changes? Sure. However, this Aussie team is playing very very well as a team, and we're not, they're playing for eachother and you can see that in the body language and the performance. Perhaps Cook has lost the changing room?

He's a Kiwi damnit, should be playing us NZ!

I know England are sh*te mate, but come on. As if.

 

[McBain]

Top notch this from Stokes.

 

[McBain]

Bresnan you walnut. 6 for 311. Stokes with the first century for the poms of the series.

 

[Hibbo]

Looks like England will save it lad.

 

[Hibbo]

firstly well done to Australia. ive been watching cricket since 1989 and this is the lowest point and the scary thing is it could get lower. angry beyond belief. its been great that Everton have lost a negative mindset, I hope this results in England losing theirs.
