Bill Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 They'll be all out by lunch, for 300 if their lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Painfully slow progress. 274-7, need a biggy from Flintoff but it's a big ask (more for Hamison et al to stay with him!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) They'll be all out by lunch, for 300 if their lucky. ..... 291 all out.........so predictable, the usual collapse, only 47 runs for the last six wickets. Another drubbing on the cards methinks. Edited January 3, 2007 by Licker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Well we've managed to take 4 wickets, which isnt bad but we need to stop Hussey and Symonds straight away tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Well we got a nice early wicket but we've struggled since then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Its bad when an aussie BOWLER (Warne-71) gets more runs than our last six wickets could muster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 123-9. Going down with scarcely a whimper. 21 ahead so unless Harmison and Anderson put on 250odd for the last wicket it's done. Ooh Harmison's got a single...124-9 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Seriously, Cricket is a big ball of shite, covered in a layer of shite, and what's more no-one gives a shite. How the f*ck can you follow a game that takes over three weeks to play, that ain't right. 90 mins or f*ck off, even one day is too f*cking long.

Romey 1878 Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 What a fucking disgrace it's been, I had some hope of a close Ashes even though I knew we'd lose. But this is just shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraccerC Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 ah 5-0 it feels good to have been right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcssl Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I have never really played cricket seriously, and never been a fan of it. However, having caught bits of it on TalkSport and on SkySports, it think it is obvious that we have become a bit of a laughing stock. Its a shame too. Once a world leader in most things we put our mind to, we now are the underdog on a regular basis. It amazes me that we still get built up with all of the hype in any national competition, only to be dejected and downhearted on every occassion, (with the odd expection, including the Rugby World Cup and last years ashes).

Bill Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 R.I.P. English Cricket, English Rugby, English Football, and most other sports that we once where good at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I honestly think the rot starts with the Govt & education system i.e developing sport. Some of the facilities & programmes High schools ( USA/Australia etc) have in many foreign countries, put many UK senior semi / Professional sports & clubs to shame. In any endeavour professional set ups cannot support & do not support total grass root develpoment. And that's where the Stars of tomorrow come from.
