Re: Ashes 2010 thread. Who's gonna win?
That reminds me. I need to get the motor serviced.
This is your hunting season, isn't it? Lots of English backpackers doing the rounds of the country to watch the cricket
Ivan Milat is walking through the forest with a backpacker. The backpacker says to him "It's getting dark and scary in here." Milat replies "You're scared? I'm the one who's got to walk back by myself."

Ian Bell's gonna win the Ashes for England.

Ian Bell sounded an ominous Ashes warning for Australia with a dominant century on a rain-affected second day in Hobart.

Pietersen is starting to look like the weakest link, I'll give you that ... let's hope his ego rises to the big occasion.

I thought Panesar bowled OK today, he was unlucky not to get a couple ... not as threatening as Swann obviously but at least he aint Ashley Giles ...

Re: Ashes 2010 thread. Who's gonna win?
I think if any team could say that Kevin Pietersen was their weekest link, they would be pretty content! KP's form does not bother me, so long as the others around him continue to do well. So far, Collingwood has prepared very well, as well as Bell and Strauss. Trott is probably another innings away from being ready, but I have no doubt that he will get there soon. Cook still worries me, but we'll see.
Bell and Collingwood looked really good today and Bresnan was pretty effective with the ball too

England will reverse the last debacle here and do it to them. I have a carton riding on them wining by white wash with my ex boss

Re: Ashes 2010 thread. Who's gonna win?
Yeah, Bresnan is a bit unfortunate that Finn hit such fine form against weak opposition coz he would have probably been picked otherwise. He's always been handy with the bat and would have meant that Jimmy would be our #11 batsman if he were in the side. Not a bad tail to have, given that our number 8 has a century to his name and in my eyes Swann, our number nine is also very capable of one too!

I have an ongoing wager through the series of a $10 scratchie with one of my more obnoxious customers - 4 years ago it cost me $50, this time I think I will fare a lot better

If Sydney's rainy summer is Australia wide then I reckon a 1-0 England win.
