The Ashes

Never mind the tea and cucumber sandwiches, we want Broad back after half a bottle of whisky and wound up.  

only 20 needed, i think we have blown it!

Jimmy's back with a maiden over.

HOWISAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

England win the 1st game! What's a hot-spot not?

Looking good at the moment. This could be another great weekend for British sport. Froome to win the Tour de France, Westy to win the Open and the Aussies to go 2-0 down in the series.

At least they've started to go for a few shots in the last hour or so.

Bloody boring us to death when being over 350 in front.  


Anyway now 539 in front.

Can't see the Aussies turning it round with two days left. 2-0 up is perfect because the Aussies can't afford to lose another test.

I'd rather get thsi 2nd test finished asap and be 2-0 up for all we know three next 3 could have weather problems!!!!

I'm sure I read that this warm weather will continue until the beginning of August? Whether or not, if the last 3 tests are drawn because of bad weather we will still win it comfortably.

Just got back from Turkey today. It doesn't come much better than sitting in a bar in the blazing sun, supping Efes all day, watching us thump the Aussies for fun. 2-0 up now and the Aussies are in complete disarray. We've got Watson completely sussed now, he doesn't know whether he's coming or going and is a walking LBW now every time he opens the innings. Once Clarke's out of the way they're up shit creek, although the way it's going I'm sure if they opened the batting with their bowlers they'd get a better start. No sympathy, rub their faces in it while they are down, it's not that long ago they were talking about not playing a 5 test series against us anymore cos we were so sh1t and it was always a walkover. Grind them into the dust I say.

i'm going to the Old Trafford Test Match , can't wait to see us hammer the Aussies again!

Great final session from England to go 3-0 up

Fantastic win!

I was driving home and heard that the Aussies were nearly 100 without loss, chasing 300, and were now favourites to win. I looked a couple of hours later for the latest score and found we had already won!

Shame the Aussies are weak and can't really give us a game at the moment - they've recently gone through a golden age of players - hopefully it is our turn on top for a while.

Great victory today, I'd given it up at 100 for no wicket. No sympathy for the Aussie bar stewards, lets make it 4-0 now and rub their noses in it. Only worrying thing is Jimmy who has seemed totally out of sorts for two Tests now, hope he sorts himself out for the final test otherwise the Bolton Express will revert to being the Burnley drinks carrier,what say you Copper.

It doesn't matter whether the new bowler is Bresnan, Broad or Swann you'll always see Captain Cook and the Burnley Express talking tactics with him.

Jimmy's just giving other bowlers a chance to step up because he doesn't like having all the limelight.
