17 extras that's only one less than the combined total of Strauss, Bopara, Bell, Collingwood, Broad, Swann, Harmison, Anderson and Onions
Australia 39-1
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
After all the furore about how the traditions of the game are being spoilt by the Barmy Army it's good to see England getting back to what they're known for - traditionally dismal batting.
. Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
Why do we need them both to be rain affected? We look the better team to me.
Earlier in the thread Shaggy pointed to the Ashes as the pinnacle of test cricket, a level higher than any other series. I have to say now there is a case that a/ we haven't been in the top two sides in the world for any sustained period other than around 2005 in the last two decades and b/ now Australia are not the dominant world force - basically in the same class as India and South Africa and the Ashes is in most ways, except public interest, just another series.
The atmosphere may well be better and important in the standing and significance of the series but viewed as a sporting contest I think it is hard to argue for its preeminence.

More bad news for the England cricket team: it's sunny at Headingley and there will be a full day's play.

It's only cricket. If there's no fun to be had watching Australia lose the Ashes then there's fun to be had watching England lose the Ashes.
