    Ashes Predictions Thread

    not doing too bad. Hoping Johnson takes 15 wickets at Leads (8-36 and 7-45 would be great)

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Well done to the boys on gritting out the draw. All the batsmen on the fifth day impressed but was especially wrapped for Clarke - he's pretty much my favourite batsman and it's great to see him impose himself on this series. Some fool was calling him a home-bully the other day 8-) really...

    Mike Hussey, Watto - Australia is on the phone - they're looking for heroes. Will you take the call?

    Hanging in this series by our fingernails now. Hope we can hold on for a drawer here.

    If Test cricket died

    I'd watch Odis if they were on Fta telly - but that's true of most sporting events. Wouldn't make an effort to watch it, read about it or post online about it. Would probably do the same for international T20 matches. Wouldn't watch IPL. If test cricket was aust and England twice a year, I'd...

    A.F.L Thread

    Lol, I know you're disappointed that your team ain't making the grade for finals, but how are the Tiges reliant on Richo when he has hardly played this year? Jack Riewoldt is stacks better than Nagle or any other forward the Dons have that isn't on the verge of retirement. The win on the...

    Think our problem is that our cricketers are playing ****, not that they're being nice tbbh.

    Ricky Ponting overtakes Allan Border

    Pretty sure we have a "Ponting vs Sachin" thread for precisely this kind of pointless argument fellas. It's an irrelevant issue in what should be a thread celebrating Ricky's achievement. He's a pretty amazing player. I for a long time had him behind Waugh and Border, but in the last couple...

    Well done to Ricky Ponting in the record, btw. Pretty small consolation for him not getting a bigger score though.

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    ****. What a disaster of a day. Weather looks like the only thing that might prevent an English win, an I've made my views of that kind of thing pretty plain. We certainly don't deserve a draw at the moment. Well bowled Onions and Anderson. Haven't read through the thread yet, but I assume...

    A.F.L Thread

    Decently, and he polled REALLY well the year before (despite nit being there, but being drunk at home dressed as Batman). Didak and Davis might steal a few votes from him however. The debate about whether Swan, Davis, Pendlebury or now I suppose Didak, is a tricky one.

    In answer to the question someone asked, I guess in the very unlikely event that Manou injures himself and Haddin doesn't come up, Hughes could come back into the team as keeper. That's where he's previously fielded, yeah?

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Great. We finally win a toss in a match where a draw is almost inevitable.
  15. Matt79

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Yeah, this. Plus he's a top order batsman - probably belongs 3-4. Makes no sense to stick him at six just cos he's an allrounder.

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    @ uppercut - That's an exaggeration - at worst I'd back Watson to score as much as Hughes would, but hopefully do better than that PLUS be able to bowl a bit. Ie he's a decent enough replacement. Clark IS a more appealling option but not by the margin you suggest. Still think Clark might be a...

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Well Mitch has taken 8 wickets in two matches AND scored a half century. Hughes has scored a streaky 37 and looked completely at sea against a plan that an opening batsman should be able to deal with (shock, horror, they're bowling bouncers at me!! :-O ). I'm not really saying that Mitch has...

    Backing Watson to do really well :) before injuring himself on day five :(

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    No problem with Hughes being dropped really. He's been exposed and needs to sort this part of his game out. Players like Waugh, Ponting and Clarke have all been dropped and come back better. Funny how people are howling for Johnson to be dropped and are annoyed that the selectors are hung up...

    "I had better technique than Gavaskar": Boycott

    Are we talking batting technique or ****-stirring technique. Either way, it's very close.
