The Ashes thread

[EwarWoo]

Apart from the Aussies, Saffers and India there aren't that many decent teams out there.

This is the worst Aussie team in more than a decade, ripe for the taking, and they're still ranked number 1.

I don't think there's ANY decent sides out there at the moment.

Sounds like Mitchell Johnson is having a bit of a mare...

1219: Eng 73-0 Only a fool would ever write off an Australian bowler, so here goes: Johnson is having an absolute stinker out there. A plump juicy one is served up on leg stump to be cracked away wristily by Cook for four, and when another is dropped short, it gets the same treatment - dismissed to roars of approval from the warmed-up spectators. 0-47 off seven. Ouch.

He is. He keeps bowling the ball wide so the batsman are just knocking it for 4 every time and when he does bowl it straight it keeps going past the wicket keeper for 4

and on the evidence of Cardiff, still a lot better than England.

He didn't look good in the first test - The English batsmen gifted him his wickets. Thats Hilffy fella looks promising

Sean, Manchester, TMS inbox: "Siddle looks nothing like Toadie nor does he look like a beat poet. He's a dead ringer for Arjen Robben."

[Shaggy]

They edited it slightly though, which is a tad disappointing.

[dww]

What did it say originally?

[Shaggy]

I referred to Robben as "that little swine Arjen Robben" and finished it off by saying "which makes it just that little bit easier to hate the angry paceman".

Sounds like Hauritz just dislocated his finger trying to catch a Strauss hit.

Anyone able to get a screen grab of Sky or anything?

Cook out for 95
