Just one little series note....


Warney only needs 23 Wickets to join the 500 Test Wicket Club...

I think he'll get that in Adelaide...

Go Warney...

 

[Rik]

England won the toss (Wow Nasser...could this be a revival in his coin tossing fortunes?) and elected to field...

GAME ON!

 

[age_master]

and its all over Aust 0/1 declared Hayden 1* The England 0 all out and 0 all out McGrath taking 4-0 and 7-0 and Gillespie taking 6-0 and 3-0

Good start to thge seriss

 

[Rik]

Ya wish

 

[age_master]

well igts not that unrealistic, welkl the bit about Aust declaring for one maybe but the rest is fine

 

[Blewy]

So True Age so so True

 

[Rik]

0-0 is about as beliveable as Bangladesh winning the World Cup, Confidence can go a bit far sadly...

 

[Rich2001]

And you say us English are dreaming, when we say we could get something out of this game.....

Just listing to the radio, and they were talking about the brother in laws (Stewart & Butcher) but there is also another brother in law pair playing in this game, anyone think they know who?

Current Match State - 15/0

 

[Rik]

Darren "Boof" Lehmann and Craig "Oh No We Picked Him Again" White...Easy Peasy!

Well yes you are partly right.

It was 1954/55, Hutton was the Captain and Australia went on to hit 601/8 dec.... However England went on to win the Ashes 3 - 1

Your listening to Radio 4 at the mo? Because everything you've written down has been mentioned on there!

What about...what is strange about the 2 12th men today?

[Rik]
