Ashes 1-1
 

Any predictions on the 3rd Test this week, are we looking at another close match, or the Aussies going to run away with it.

Not sure myself, I would like to think that the english/wales team will win, but not sure. One thing for certain though it will be great cricket.

If Lee and McGrath are fit, then an Aussie win. If not, then a win for the Poms!! Either way, should be cracking entertainment.

Unfortunately I think the weather is going to play a big part in this one...so maybe get your money on a draw???

Good point - I forgot about the good old English summer :)

Don't I know it, I lived about 4 miles from Old Trafford for years in a place called Sale.

According to the BBC showers on Thursday and Saturday.

Should still leave 3 or 4 days which is proving more than enough for a win in this series.

Lets hope for another good game and a England win.

Just because you got lucky and won one match by only 2 runs, does'nt mean you are going to win the Ashes. :p

Ahem, the english/welsh/s.african team ;)

Re: Ashes 1-1
 

I'm really looking forward to it.

As i have been up all night last night with food poisoning, i didnt wak eup till lunchtime today, so hopefully will stay awake all night to watch it :D

(knowing my luck it will be rained off!!) :mad:

I notice everyone jumps onthe band wagon when England win a test against the Aussies and then find a way of knocking them by bringing up where players were born.
I did'nt hear much during the 1 day 'ers when an Englishman was playing for the Aussies!!!

On the same note, when I raised the issue of Ricky Hatton battering Kostysu (spelling???), I was told by an Australian that now that he wasn't World Champ, he was a foreigner again.

Ah, I am sure that we all desend from the same place, what does it matter. Along as this game is as entertaining as the last test match.

Fingers crossed for no rain, we should be in store for a good match.

III O - Vaughan is due a big score(lets hope).

Jo :D

DULL and overcast at Old Trafford this morning, could all be over on the toss of a coin!!

Re: Ashes 1-1
 

Just watching the pre match warm up. It appears both Lee and Mcgrath will be playing. Both running about quite freely.
