Now I'm nostalgic ...

Re: Ashes online?
 

Any links?

Re: Ashes online?
 

nfld's vip linky is working for me.

<not that much is going on>

Re: Ashes online?
 

For darts?

Re: Ashes online?
 

I'm reduced to reading the Grauniad OBO, but Watson is out LBW to Tremlett

Oh Joy.

Re: Ashes online?
 

and now Smith is gone. Apparently.

Not. On referral. Oy wey.

Not the best link but the only one I have found!

Re: Ashes online?
 

I think let the Aussies bat for another day and half and then go for the draw. :(

Re: Ashes online?
 

That would have been fair enough thinking for England teams of old but this one isn't past winning yet. You can't just "let them bat" ... C'mon positivity :)

Re: Ashes online?
 

A day late sorry - but is that pdc darts ?

Re: Ashes online?
 

OK, it's past winning but hey, The Ashes are staying where they are :)

Re: Ashes online?
 

Added to this thread or make a new one to avoid confusion ??

Re: Ashes online?
 

Either really. Probably a new thread. Cheers

Re: Ashes online?
 

Don't think this match is going to last much longer. :(

Re: Ashes online?
 

What do you think of Collingwood (MBE)? Never been a big fan and this is probably the time to get shot.

Re: Ashes online?
 

He made a couple of good catches but he doesn't match up with the Aussies number five. I'm not sure about the Melbourne pitch but think I'd also bring in Bresnan in place of Finn.

Re: Ashes online?
 

Funny how quickly our batting looks a bit fragile although it seems like it has depth. We are prob ok with the last two pitches and I think bowling is not bad. Bresnan might be good though. As always, its the danger of the mid-order collapse that is most worrying still. We could do with a Mr Cricket.

Re: Ashes online?
 

Couldnt agree more. I think Bresnan will play for his batting as much as anything; Flower won't make any more radical changes than that though.

Wish we had a Mike Hussey or someone like Steve Waugh who used to relish coming in at 80-5 and having to battle to save the innings.

They say Swann should be more of a factor in the next two tests so fingers crossed the pitch will turn and Australia will keep an unchanged side without a spinner.

Re: Ashes online?
 

That's the fighting spirit! :thumbup:

Re: Ashes online?
 

This is about cricket, it has bugger all to do with you lot.

Re: Ashes online?
 

Well said, that man. Unfortunately though it has quite a lot to do with that other bunch of colonial misfits down under.

Re: Ashes online?
 

Good luck, I`ll check back in a couple weeks to see how you are doing.

Re: Ashes online?
 

The game is not completely foreign to Canadians. The fastest century in world cup cricket was scored by a Canadian in 2002. John Davison scored 111 off 67 balls against the Windies.

Re: Ashes online?
 

Opps I forgot Boxing Day in Australia was today in a normal country. Well, lets have it. 135/0. They got bowled out for 98. Up yours.

Re: Ashes online?
 

I knew it was last night. I thought I'd do something bizarre like watching cricket from Australia, on the computer, in Canada, on Christmas night.

But I forgot.:o

Probably just as well though. With wickets tumbling I'd have stayed up too late and not been up for the footie this morning.

Re: Ashes online?
 

My brother was there, it sounds like it was a fabulous day's play and that the atmosphere was amazing among the English fans :thumbsup:

We're going to watch the highlights later and look out for him - he was wearing his Sheffield United shirt (and apparently got chatting to another Blades fan)

Re: Ashes online?
 

I didnt forget. I watched the Aussie wickets tumble one by one with pleasure. Couldnt ask for a finer end to Christmas day than this.

Re: Ashes online?
 

The Aussie fans are a really sad lot. They all buggered off when they started losing. :thumbdown:

Re: Ashes online?
 

They only sing when they are winning.

I think it is fair to say that it was a satisfactory day of cricket.

Re: Ashes online?
 

If singing means bleating "Siddle Siddle" or "Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi" then yes :D

Re: Ashes online?
 

I thought Ponting was disgraceful when he argued with the umpire. :thumbdown:

Re: Ashes online?
 

Quality :)

Re: Ashes online?
 

Oh yes. :)

Re: Ashes online?
 

Earlier I was monitoring the gruaniad's OBO but I went out for a smoke when it was 277-7 or so.

When I got back we'd won the Ashes.

And the nannies tell us smoking is bad for you.

Ashes to ashes.

Re: Ashes online?
 

Choking with laughter isn't very good either.:eek:

:rofl::rofl:

Re: Ashes online?
 

Okay, we retained the Ashes, and that's great, and we should celebrate by shagging a hamster or a guinea pig or two, but we need to keep a level head and go to Sydney and win the series out right.

Re: Ashes online?
 

When does the Sydney test start?

Re: Ashes online?
 

I think it's tomorrow (Sunday) night mate.

Re: Ashes online?
 

Well let's hope it's over by Tuesday (night). I have to teach on Wednesday.

Re: Ashes online?
 

YAY ENGLAND!
