Thought we ought to get it all in one place

Predictions for the first test then?

Obviously a victory for the English lads.

Nuff said.

Next!

Only an hour or so away!!

I assume we'll be playing Clark and not Johnson? Kind of wanted to see Tait bowl actually.

Good session from the boys this morning. Very happy. Ball 1 of the day made me laugh

Langer looking ok now.

How's about that "hotspot" camera! Is that the first time it has been used? First time I have seen it, it looks pretty cool.

Hehe - a 2nd slip wide to start things off.

I've had to follow it on the scorecard on the net. Hopefully there'll be some good play on the weekend.

At the end of the first day.... predicting a draw .... hopefully

Post by **Big Kev** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 6:55 pm

Yeah not a good start but the longer they bat the more likely a draw is

nutty · Post by **nutty** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 7:10 pm

haha, england havnt even faced a ball, and the poms are looking for a draw

Righteous · Post by **Righteous** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 7:26 pm

IM voting 500, declare at lunch, smash em, send em in to bat again, smash em again, get 100 runs to win.

i said to En-J today that they'll declare at 6/493 at lunch tommorow, i agree with righty that they'll clean them out by sat morning, then force the carry on.. clean up the rest of the mess on sunday... i reckon they be pulling middle stump out around lunch on sunday with Langer on 18no...

aussies won the first test last time too, don't get too cocky.

Righteous · Post by **Righteous** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 10:06 pm

I dont see anyone getting cocky................................................yet

It could easily turn around tomorrow morning with a few wickets falling, so we will wait and see

But they are most definetely in a spot of bother me thinks.

Nigel · Post by **Nigel** » Fri Nov 24, 2006 8:02 am

I love the way the Australians assume that after one day they have not only won the test but the ashes as well.

DarrenM · Post by **DarrenM** » Fri Nov 24, 2006 8:38 am

Well I'm pretty convinced that they threw the last series, so I'm expecting a different result this time

Righteous · Post by **Righteous** » Fri Nov 24, 2006 8:50 am

I would say that we are used to seeing them do this in the first day of a test and then have it done by the 4th day. It's not like it's an uncommon thing. Bloody hell, the poms win one series and think that all of a sudden they can do anything. :stir:
