    The Ashes Commentary Thread

    "I've seen" being the important qualification to that comment... Here's the link for the one I was thinking of: YouTube - Mitchell & Webb: Alien invasion

    The Ashes Commentary Thread

    Reminds me of a skit on the 'That Webb Look' or whatever its called, where they were taking off the BBC news crew for the same thing. They announced that aliens had invaded and were liquidating Earth's population centres and then cut to the guy saying "and if you have a view on these aliens...

    *Official* Second Test at Lords

    No way. We've only got a fool's chance in this match full stop - it would be madness to expect anything from Hauritz, Siddle and Hilfy today. They're tail-enders for a reason, and that mainly involves not being able to reliably bat well, esp. when there's pressure on. And indeed, in the...

    Here's hoping he feels he simply has to trust his goto guy, Stuart Broad, this morning.

    Fred's fitness going to be crucial.

    *Official* Second Test at Lords

    Yeah, unless Johnson plays the knock of his life. We're on a knife edge, but that's more than we had any right/expectation to be yesterday at lunch.

    Martyn, do you have someone there to keep an eye on you today, should things go poorly for England? Hoping you've got (vertical) bars across your windows and all the sharps locked away.

    Yeah, also hope he hasn't been talking to Andrew Strauss about backing up big performances the next day any time recently...

    Chaminda Vaas...

    Kudos to Joe. Absolutely wonderful player and ambassador for the game - severely underrated for much of it. At his peak, was one of the best bowlers in the world, and his partnership with Murali helped SL cricket to new heights. As a founding member of the CVAAS (Chaminda Vaas Admiration and...

    Hopefully for you guys, Judd's ambassadorial duties for Visy don't leave him too tired to concentrate on his footy :ph34r: Reckon we'll lose to Carlton - we always do. Personally, I think its because our players are scared that the moral leprosy might be contagious if they have too much...

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Reckon if he bats well, he could well turn his bowling form around pretty quickly. There doesn't appear to be anything physically wrong with him, but we always hear he's a confidence bowler and at the moment, I think that's his biggest problem.

    *Official* Second Test at Lords

    Don't think you can drop someone because they might be complacent. Surely they have to demonstrate that they are complacent, as opposed to "in good form" before you drop them. In any case, North would have to feel that he's the least secure member of the top six, despite his runs to date. He...

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Hauritz bowled better with his finger smashed (was interesting hearing MacGill and Matthews discussing why this was the case) and the next test isn't back-to-back with this one. He'll be fine.

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Don't think Johnson should be dropped. If you look at Johnson's form line it follows something like: 1. Johnson enters series with big rep 2. While somehow still taking wickets, Johnson bowls badly, leading people to denounce him as overrated and call for his dropping. (We are currently here)...

    Agreed, was just illustrating the point...

    *Official* Second Test at Lords

    Love Watto, but honestly at the moment wonder how he's going to fit into the team. If Hussey's run of outs continues to the end of the series, then I'd agree that his place should be in jeopardy, and would like Watson to get a go in his stead. North hasn't done anything - as a batsman - to...
