    I see that the Aussie Skipper has said they are gonna Bash us 5-0 in the upcoming Ashes, what say the Cricket Lovers on here to that?

    I can see us winning one test and maybe drawing another but i can't see past the Aussies winning the series. They're a totally different prospect on home soil.
    I would be amazed if it's 5-0, we're a much better side these days.

    [cite]Posted By: Chris_from_Sidcup[/cite]3rd test now. England in trouble at 70-5 at lunch.
    Cook fails again, scoring just 6.
    I heard Cook flooded his bathroom, either that or he's just shite..

    I say I'll give Punter whatever odds he likes - my prediction is that it won't happen.

    I think it's the best chance for years for us to win out there. Australia are in transition at the moment.

    Looks like Cook has saved his Ashes place. 76 not out at lunch and we're 110-2, a lead of 35.

    Yes but he's had his luck. He edged an easy one, early on between 1st & 2nd slip & neither of them went for it. Comical.

    Cracking knock, 110, very good pal, you have just saved your career. 83-3 effectively, lots of hard work still to do.

    Don't worry, I have it on very good authority that Pakistan are shite and England will thrash them...

    194-3. A lead of 119 at tea, been a great day for us so far.

    Not gone well. Lost a wicket in each of the first 2 overs after tea.
    Currently 199/5 but it's effectively 124/5 after the 1st innings deficit.

    Lead of 133, 7 down, all over, 2-1 with one to play.

    F*ck knows what happened at tea.

    Tea. 194-3 after 61 overs.
    After tea. 206-7 off 68 overs.

    Just got to try and get the lead as close to 200 as possible, but it's probably all over.

    After getting back in the game we've messed it up.

    Think we would have won defending 230+ but will struggle now.

    Look, I keep telling you not to worry, we are most probably going to win this...

    As collapses go, this one has to be right up there.

    I've got tickets from tomorrow, just hope it's now over by 2pm so I can get down the Valley.

    It's still quite likely we will win...

    On the train home after watching a typical collapse for some shut eye before coming back up for Oldham. Some monumentally stupid play especially from Pietersen and Collingwood. It was a bit like being 3 up and conceeding 4 goals in injury time

    We've still got a bit of a chance...

    pakistan could easily collapse tomorrow,however I would like to see them win it, this summer has been too much of a powder puff test season, if Pakistan can win tomorrow then we might see a real competition in the final test, which is what test cricket should be all about.

    Went today, we still need a few runs. I think 225 would put them under pressure but as it stands I am praying for rain

    We've still got a 50-50 chance of winning this...
