The Ashes

Do they play the Ashes every year now?

stephenite · November 28, 2010, 09:45:29 AM

It's played every 2 years but because the venue alternates between hemisphere's and cricket is played in Summer the time between each series changes

How can an activity that includes 'lunch' and 'tea' be considered a sport?

Surely it should be categorised as a negotiation or something.

There has to be question marks over Mitchell Johnson's action surely?

What's wrong with it (apart from the fact it's not working?)

Probably fairest result

Cook also brings up a century-fascinating game

More like shite attacking play by "us".

Somewhat and not really, after Day 1 it was a batsmans paradise.

Sounds like it was some turnaround I though England would struggle given the opening they had! I still couldn't sit and watch a whole innings though.

If i was out in australia i could do it

but it was fairly hard even to watch the highlights for englands last innings...

Aussie 5/182 on first day of second test in Adelaide. Both Simon Katich and Ricky Ponting were dismissed for ducks, with Ponting's being golden. Hussey on 82, to think there experts that wanted him dropped

Aussies 236 for 8 now on what was supposed to be a batsmans pitch!

Never beat the deeler · December 03, 2010, 07:25:26 AM

245 all out with Morgan making a brief appearance!

Anyone watching? England continuing to dominate even though they lost Cook. Aussie bowling looks very lightweight.

BennyHarp · December 05, 2010, 01:28:32 AM

England looking very confident! My work mates always said that if England could get Pietersen in form then the Aussies would be scared! Sure they picked a bowling attack just to get KP in left arm spinner Xavier Doherty! Clearly not working!
