England are off to a good start and the sides look evenly matched.

Okay start, shame Flintoff and Prior couldn't end the day.

Ten ruddy years since I was pissed as a newt in convict land watching it live. Gah.

heathens!!

Not a bad day, not a great one. Poor batting by England rather than great bowling by the Aussies, their attack looks really average.

Having lee and stewie clark injured for the opening match is a pretty big hit but i think hilfenhaus and siddle are doing alright. Need johnson to start showing the form he had in SA an back in oz.

 

[chipper]

think itll be a close one this year but i think the english will take it aussie side is not what it was 4 years ago not by a long shot. if we can get another 50+ runs tommorow i think we will win first test.

 

[leviathane]

4 years ago? it was only 2 years ago when it was 5-0 in aus

Sky's production of the ashes is really poor this year. Bloody annoying music they use as well

Thought the world20/20 was really well produced and presented, don't know how they went from that to this.

Lets have it back on Channel 4!!

Lets have it back on Channel 4!!

If only they could afford it :/ c4 were immense with cricket, they really made it interesting even when sod all was happening. Even worse than the sky coverage though is the fact that channel 5 have the highlights.

 

[leviathane]

good days play for us, solid start from the top 3 can't ask for any more than that.

 

[Aoami]

our attack is looking out of ideas already after 2 days. really boring, unimaginitive fielding and captaincy today.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Same old story, decent bowlers but no wicket takers. Embarrassing today tbh.

 

[chipper]

need some good wickets tommorow or australia got this one in the bag had to work so didnt see us fielding can only assume by the score we did shit. only hope we have is australia's tail enders crumble.

I think its going to rain over the weekend so it could well be a draw/washout

Alright, we'll call it a draw.

I didn't find it embarrassing, to be honest, just frustrating. The aussies dug in very well and batted very sensibly.... hoping we can get some early wickets today to stir things up a bit...

 

[Uara]

This has draw written all over it...bad weather for the weekend! Especially if Aussies do the whole slow and steady batting process!

 

[Jupitus]

Finally - Katich goes lbw - good innings by him, but our bowlers do look more dangerous this morning and the pitch is doing things now too :england:

 

[dysfunction]

Finally another wicket! Thats good news!

 

[Fast]

About fkin time we got one of em out.

 

[Jupitus]

331-4 now, with Ponting gone aswell - got his 150 though, which was well played!

 

[Dark Orb Choir]

we need another bob willis

 

[chipper]

glad pontin finally out hoping will clear em out within 150 runs dont think their tail enders will do much if we keep the pressure up

 

[leviathane]

xD gotta love the ashes

 

[Aoami]

this is retarded. our batting performance starting to look really really poor here.

 

[dysfunction]

Yes its getting quite depressing really....
