The Ashes 2010/11

[Scott]

12 Scott. Come on IRC?

already in there mate.

 

[Matty]

Hey I support the Irish Cricket team but until they become a test playing nation England are my favourite Test playing nation. This is due to the best Irish players going and playing for them

Perfect attitude, it would be the same visa versa mate!

Unfortunately Morgan hasn't made the side for the first test, so lets hope he does well getting the right drinks bottles on the go

Although i haven't seen a definite picked side, the media are sure that Belly has been favored.

Im absolutely buzzing with anticipation!

Finn will certainly be in the team. Think that has been decided. All bowlers came up early to get use to the conditions. Would be a massive shock if Bresnan plays.

[GodCubed]

[Matty]

Maybe not no, but as there are many without Sky I thought i would confirm it on the thread

 

[GodCubed]

I could've sworn that's the GoCompare man singing the anthems...


Oh no Straussy! ******...

 

[Matty]

Well done Strauss third ball gone... oO)

 

[Joel`]

Great start ..

 

[GodCubed]

****, ****, ****. Come on Leon, time to prove your worth.

 

[Matty]

I really felt the biggest de ja vu when he went...

even though it was us bowling and Harmison throwing the ball meters wide of the wickets...

us English just really do love playing the convicts down under sigh...

Come on TROTTY "YOU BEARRSSS!"

 

[Shockhorror.]

**** you Strauss.

 

[GodCubed]

Let's not panic. Of all the players, I'd want Trott out there now.

That said, one maiden and a wicket maiden.

And we're off the mark with a dodgy edge. That bodes well...

I agree totally, and ye with Strauss falling instantly there was gonna be nerves to get the first runs

fair play Trotty nice edge XD

 

[GodCubed]

Four! Good. First boundary of the series, well played Jonathan.

 

[Stann]

Yeah great number 3 this series I reckon. Maybe a bit dull at times but just what we need. Reliable head.

 

[GodCubed]

I'm a fan of Trott, mostly cause I posted a thread on 606 when he got his callup and it made the front page. So yeah, if he does well I ****** called it!
