The Forthcoming Ashes Series

[Paul Finch]

      As a very proud Englishman living in Australia I cannot wait for the Ashes Series to start, I keep reminding the Aussies that their Cricket Team are about to be humiliated and that they are very likely not going to win ONE test in the TWO Series. 
 
      Any thoughts

I don't watch/follow Cricket sorry.

Nothing wrong about talking about other sports and activities in General Chat. We have a thread about Formula 1, computer games, films etc. As for cricket, unfortunately I don't understand this game and therefore not following it.

Indeed mate, it's not all Tottenham talk here. It's nice to talk/discuss anything off topic from time to time.

     Sorry, I was under the impression that I had posted on OTHER SPORTS.

Maybe you could keep us non cricket folk updates of the series

When does it start?

Buzzing for it - heading up to quite a few days of the test and out in Sydney for the final test in Jan too.

    218,
        At last, someone who loves the cricket, pity you are not coming out for the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne, I always try and go for a couple of the Days, we could have met and had a beer. I can't wait to give them Aussies some stick. I have had to take s**t from them for 18 years, and now its my turn to hang some on them, I am telling them that they will be lucky to win 1 Test out of the 10.
       What do you reckon?

Was planning on doing Melbourne too but the cost was just getting silly so have decided to do Sydney and a few other places for a month.

I can't see them winning any over here tbh, fancy 3-0 (weather will f**k the white wash out the window)

Sorry if I have offended anyone. Cricket is just not in my list of sporting events!

    After Day One of the 1st Test v Australia at Trent Bridge which is in Nottingham, for the uninitiated.
         England were 215 all out

         At stumps Australia are 75 for the loss of 4 wickets.

       Whilst our score of 215 all out was not that good, to have the Aussies 4 wkts down for only 75 runs, and having got their captain, who is by far their best batsman, out for a DUCK I would say puts us in the driving seat, but there is still a long way to go.
