THE ASHES:

Anyway, we have had Aussies chasing the follow on target, Aussies praying for rain, Aussies grasping for the draw - I would say they are not enjoying this series 😀

No Tests at the moment, but Aus are playing a one day game against Scotland in Edinburgh and guess what?
Start delayed due to rain! It's bloody 30degC and scorching sunshine here in northern England. No wonder Scotland doesn't have a good team, it never stops raining enough for them to play.

Anyway, in Ashes news, umpire Aleem Dar is returning from Pakistan. Unfortunately, he is replacing Billy Bowden and not Stevie "Wonder" Bucknor. Which reminds me, why was Steve Bucknor wearing such dark sunglasses in the Test in Manchester? Because he wasn't allowed his dog and white stick on the field.

England win the toss: Surely we must win this one now!

I think we may have run out of time for good weather. I reckon the last two tests will be drawn due to lack of time to complete them.

McGrath out, England win the toss (given Vaughan's record this is a bleedin' miracle).
This is written in the stars for us boys...

Sounds like Tresco is really climbing in there...

129/1 at lunch.
Warne gets a pretty lucky wicket - off Strauss' boot to slip.

Post your predictions here.

I reckon England 2 - 1 but the Aussies will win the first test.
