The Ashes Down Under First Test

[Stickybottle]

Anyone interested in the greatest rivalry in the game of cricket ?
We bat first having won the toss
Anderson was already out anyway through injury
Broad dropped !
Hope that does not come back to haunt us
First ball at midnight uk time

fortunately I'm not watching as (a) I haven't got BT and (b) it sounds as though most of the cameras have broken down (joining the replays, which are also kaput).

England all out
Lunch is taken for done silly reason
Australia require 20 to win
Prolonging the agony and inevitable for another 40 minutes

they already played an extra half hour, didn't they? The heat will be getting to them.

A point from the match reports: England look likely to lose world championship points because of their slow over rate in the first innings. In theory they could make it up in the second innings - but that's unlikely to last long enough for them to do so. Nobody to blame but themselves; but Australia missed this year's championship final for the same reason: slow over rates.

Yes they did
Still think it pointless as they will probably knock the 20 off in 3 overs maximum
