The Ashes on the Interweb?

[manker]

Hayden is out!!!!

Flintoff got him

[Adster]

and hayden may not be in the next test match what a ball by Freddie

[Barbarossa]

This is going to be a close finish!!!

[manker]

He hasn't scored a century for 15 test matches - I'm surprised he wasn't dropped before now, tbh. The Aussie selectors are known for their ruthlessness.

Also, Gillespie HAS to be dropped. He is useless on this tour.

Vaughan is bringing Simon Jones on now. Flintoff is making the ball swing all over the place - he's bound to do the same.

Prediction:

Jones the Ball to tempt Pont the Prod into a tentative forward defensive on a ball that swings the other way. Out to an edge to Jones the Glove.

i still think aust will hold on for a draw Martyn a very hard batsman to get out

You don't think they've got a chance of winning? I think they've got a chance of winning; if they can get 150 between lunch and tea, and haven't lost too many wickets, they could go for it.

He who dares...

[manker]

The Aussies can't win it.

Tho' I hope they think they can, they'll be playing some silly shots. England are bowling perfectly to encourage this.

Martyn can be a difficult bloke to get out but not in this series.



Btw, why don't they pick Hussey, he looks a fantastic criketer. Bowls a bit too.

129-3

They keep shouting at teh ref tho

[manker]

Martyn's gone

Lbw for 19 to Harmison. I think there was an inside endge and he shouldn't have gone but earlier in his innings, he edged one to Jones the glove and was given not out (England didn't even appeal).

Swings and roundabouts.
