do you think theyre actually going to keep the ashes ... they drew their first match, looks like theyre in control in this one ...

Well I've watch quite a lot of the first two matches and I've never, in my lifetime, sen an Aussie bowling attack as inapt as they are now, its the first time in history that England have scored 500 in back to back test matches against the Aussies and in both innings have only lost 5 wickets in total, with 2 double centuries and 3 other centuries. but never write the Aussies off especially against England

Woke up this morning and saw the test score at close of play. England 157-0. Good start, I thought, but there must have been a rain delay.

Then I read on. Australia 98 all out.

Gobsmacked, to say the least!

Just been watching the highlights on Sky News. There were 91,000 in the ground at start of play. A full house.

By the time England had reached 150, there can't have been more than a couple of thousand watching.

Absolutely hilarious!

Did you see Ricky lose the plot, arguing with the umpires?

Just watched the highlights (lowlights in the Aussies case

)What was Pontin on about the guy wasn't out, end of, and I think his histrionics came back to haunt him when it looked like Prior was caught, hold on Mr Prior I think it may have been a No Ball, I'll check with the third Umpire, up yours Ricky
