    *Official* Third Test at the WACA

    "I captained Tremlett for a long time and I tried everything to get him to be more aggressive. In the nets he is the best bowler in the world, bar none. He is unplayable."

    Warne is 6/1 for an Ashes comeback!

    Bowling in someone elses footholes...

    *Official* Third Test at the WACA

    As much as Shahzad will be more enthusiastic and prob add more fire to the side... I am more than happy to see Tremlett in the team as he could be just the type of bowler we need. Imperative he keeps it tight though!

    Ashes betting

    Not really Ashes betting I guess but... Graeme Swann for BBC Sports Personality of the year... he is currently the third fav to win, now 10/1 having been 33/1 a week ago. I have backed him to get a top 3 finish at 3.35 on Betfair... seems a good price given he is the third fav after all...

    Lol at the use of the word "master".

    *Official* Third Test at the WACA

    Broad is a little overrated. We have basically been the much better so far without much contribution from him.... As long as Tremlett/Shahzad keep it tight and allow pressure to build from Jimmy/Swanns end we will be fine :D

    Things that annoy you about the Ashes

    India at home will get my passion going. Will be one hell of a series. Hopefully a lot closer than the current series England are playing.

    *Official* Tour Matches

    I cannot understand why we would bat Prior down at 7 with Davies coming in at 4? Surely we want Prior to have a good long bat... who cares if Davies has some form? The probability of him being needed is remote... Not only that, surely it is more important to have Morgan batting well than...

    *Official* Third Test at the WACA

    5 FC matches... aged 26 years old. How can he even be considered? This is shambolic... At least when we picked Darren Pattinson he had actually bowled more than 200 overs....

    Ashes betting

    Cricket Records | W.A.C.A. Ground, Perth | Records | Test matches | Match results | ESPN Cricinfo I see your point.... I do have a small position on the Draw no bet already... could lay that off for a small arb, but might just stick with it. Planning on backing England at 3.0 before the game...

    *Official* Third Test at the WACA

    I really hope Smith is forced to bowl some overs. I have no respect for this bowling after seeing the Aus A game. Have said it before, and will say it again... of all the Aussie spinners I have seen this tour, O'Keefe is your best shout and then North!

    Ashes betting

    If the betfair market is correct, they predict a draw in this game about 32% of the time...

    Ashes betting

    It just takes a whole load of risk out. Alternatively, you could back England at 2.8 or lay the draw at 3.15 (which from what you are saying is a good idea). I just can't see Australia winning the game, so rather than laying it at 3.15 have opted for the more risk averse option of the draw...

    Battle of the Ashes Moments

    Too young to remember Willis... so... "Jones! Bowden! "

    Ashes betting

    Betfair have England (Draw No Bet) for the next game at nearing 1.90. I fail to see how this bet cannot be profitable. Hell I think 1.7 would be over generous.

    Bollinger looked as if he couldnt be bothered half the time. Even Ponting said he "hit a wall"
