    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Or in that case, we drop neither, given the player we're bending over to try and accomodate is Shane Watson.

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    We haven't gone down in a series very often, and when we have, its been when things have gone seriously awry and comebacks are unlikely. Can't think when the last time it happened would be off the top of my head.

    Watson to replace mike hussey

    What do you think Watson is going to bring to the team that neither Hussey or North does?

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    ^^ You're mad. You'd drop North when he's scored a century last test because he was dismissed by a gem of an arm-ball from Swann in this test?

    *Official* Second Test at Lords

    What a pity.

    The stats do not do him justice!

    Would have to say Fred Flintoff. People in later years will look at his overall record and say that he can't of being that good, or his lack of 5-fers and point to that as proof he wasn't a devestating, match-winning bowler. Of course, if they dig a little deeper, they'll work it out. This...

    Ashes Predictions Thread

    Mmmm, looking shaky on a few of these. Johnson not badly placed to be leading wicket taker, assuming he's not dropped. (That sentence should make no sense, but that's where we find ourselves). Still has time to become player of the series as well, but it will be a massive surprise from here...

    Michael Hussey – Is his time up?

    Will put my hand up and admit I was the guy that used "Huss-esque", suggesting it should replace Bradman-esque. But, am I say this confident people can look it up and prove me to be a liar, it was said completely tongue in cheek to take the mickey out of the hyperbole that was going on in the...

    Flintoff is Hercules.. a God

    We can still be friends "with privileges" can't we? ;)

    Flintoff is Hercules.. a God

    ^^ :ph34r: Knew I'd get a bite with that. Same ****, different village ten kilometres down the road in that ridiculous postage stamp you call a country. I've pissed further than the distance between Lancs and Yorkshire. Either way its all big dumb Northerners with congenital speech...

    Would North look at Barry Hall?

    How Many Centuries Will Phil Hughes Score?

    Hughes has looked convincing??

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    For me: Hughes Katich Ponting Hussey Clarke North Haddin Johnson Hauritz Clark Hilfenhaus Sorry Sids - don't hate me. I still :wub: you. Players on notice for this test: Johnson, Hughes and Hussey. Rogers is in England playing FC unless I'm much mistaken, and the options for Hussey have been...

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    He was refused a clearance wasn't he?

    Flintoff is Hercules.. a God

    Yeah, fair play to the big dumb drunk from Yorkshire :ph34r:

    *Official* Second Test at Lords

    Hughes needs to do something soon, or else I'd think at the end of this series, he's better off going back to FC for another season and working out his obvious issues that at the moment at preventing him gain the benefit of his equally obvious strengths. By "do something" I mean demonstrate he...

    *Official* Second Test at Lords

    I haven't read through the thread yet, but I'll defy everyone to find any fault with what Ponting said in the post-match today. No sign of "enraged chimpdom" as one of our more socially challenged members has been dwelling upon. The guy never gets any credit for the good things he does...

    *Official* Second Test at Lords

    Ah, well. 'Twas always only a fool's chance this morning. Well played England. Very well deserved win. Losing is always hard to take, but its much easier when its off the back of a performance like that from a champ like Fred, not to mention some excellent bowling from Swann. England...

    Oh well, here we go. Break a leg Flintoff. (No, I mean that literally)
