The Ashes

[bluewolf]

Lee v Freddie absolute classic

Agreed..:thup:

 

[Birchy]

I always loved watching Brett Lee in attack. The guy looked like he would carry on his run through and Wigan Kiss the batsman into the floor. Controlled aggression on the pitch, gentleman off it. How bowlers should behave...

Will never forget Freddie and him after the Egbaston test Showed he was human as he was nearly in tears.

Used to love watching Wasim Akram for Lancs in my younger days, he was just a genius and menace with the ball.

Watching footage of cricket games from the 80s and i think everybody just tried to kill each other Shame everybody is so safe nowadays :rofl:

Love it


But so not true (I hope)

Did not expect this to go down to the 5 day.. What is the prognosis for the day?

 

[Birchy]

Just cant see us getting the 4 wickets the way its going :angry:

 

[fundy]

was a horrid panicky decision to take the new ball, shouldve stuck with the old ball, ring field, tight off stump line, taking the new ball has opened the game right back up

 

[Birchy]

Reverse psychology pays off

Agree with Fundy RE the new ball though too. We had them tied in knots and they were going nowhere.

 

[fundy]

that helps, still not over this tho, all their tail can actually bat to some degree

Will be happier if we can snaffle Haddin. Will be tough to see it through between the rest if we can get him out soon enough.

Jimmy doing the biz

 

[MegaSteve]

Don't know what all the 'panic' is about only one winner for this test...

 

[Jon321]

Jimmy proving why he's the best new ball bowler in the world.

hmmm, not so convinced on that at the moment lol, could be a nervy half hr after lunch!!!!

 

[Tiger]

So tight it's unbelievable. I can see the Aussies getting level and then losing their last wicket. What's the odds on a tie...

[MegaSteve]

Please no... Worst possible result...

 

[PhilTheFragger]
