England 22 for 2, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

living in the land down under......

39 for 3 weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

42 for 4 weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

63 for 5 woooooooooooooooooooooooooo

72 for 6 guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuulp!

All out for 102

Aus, not quite the mean machine of old, but England out tamely in under 34 overs - most of them regulation catches to slip. We'll see if there's any demons in the pitch but Aus come out aggressively, scoring 10 off the first Anderson over. Plenty of movement in the wicket.

For someone sick of the sight and sound of the cricket Robbie you seem to be paying alot of attention to it...


Edit: 14 for 1

actually my friend, i am not sick of the sight nor the sound of it, for there is nothing as sweet as an Aussie ball pitched up and nicking the edge of an English bat to be caught behind in the slips for a handful of runs, ahhhh, how comforting the sound

Aus 64/1. What England didn't get right was deciding which balls to leave. A thrashing already looks on the cards here. So much for the Ashes.

i am quite glad, for once the Aussies win this one, it sets up a rather thrilling final, which could go either way.

For once?
There's a long time to play still but yes, a win already looks on the cards. As for the final match, the pressure would be on England to win. I'll predict game over already in the first innings of this Test.

From what I've heard great bowling,..... at least I really hope it was great bowling

From what I saw, something like seven easy slip catches. They looked more like rabbits in the headlights to me without their talismen, being Peterson and Flintoff.
