Australia may have lost the Ashes, but they haven't lost their whinging rights.

Well done to the English Cricket Team. Good to see them showing their class http://m.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/a...ectid=11114674 :nope:

Part 2 kicked off this morning in Brisbane. Australia is 1-30 after only half an hour. :nope: Surprised the poms appear to be all asleep at the moment.

Honours are fairly even at lunch 2-71

Yet another top order collapse. And down to the middle and lower order to put some runs on. 5-110 :nope:

Haddin and Johnson bringing a bit of respectability to the score 6-228

8-273 at stumps. Yet another poor day at the crease from our mob. The bowling attack will need to be on top form.

Great day for Broad and England :D

Broad is in good form, but the other bowlers looked a bit whipped by Haddin and Johnson.

Very early days and as stated before....not a true Ashes series IMO and that's before either sides supporters on here start carping on about the highs or lows as play progresses.

Only 88 days since the last series ended :nope:

Just come across this...the reason they are playing each other again so soon:

Interesting.

Yeah, it does give a better understanding but I'd have thought a better solution could have been found.

Whichever side wins will be constantly reminded it was the most worthless series of them all.

Thanks for that link TarJak I always did wonder why it was such short turnaround :yep:
