The Ashes 2013 Thread
 
OK will Australia get a win this series or will the Poms prevail?

Australia with it all to play for and England looking the form side out of the two.

Boycott has some interesting things to say: http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/...709-2pn79.html

I for one will be getting little sleep over the next 6 days as the 1st Test kicks off tomorrow night our time.

Best of luck to both sides.

Gentlemen, raise your glasses for the Ashes series 2013!

Interesting. Not sure how that will happen as there are only 5 matches scheduled. How many fingers do you have on each hand?

I sent him a green and gold supporters cap so he could skite with his Indian mates.

So, I forget, is this (the Ashes) British-Aussie thing or is it the whole world of cricket?

...cuz you know who will dominate...

Fancy some more curry Mr. Buna?:hmmm:

Tarjak, have another serving of aloo gobi.

TarJak 07-09-13 10:21 PM
The Ashes is only POM's v Aussies. But I'll still have a curry thanks

BossMark 07-10-13 01:48 AM

Steven Finn will be England's third fast bowler in the first Ashes Test with Australia at Trent Bridge, with the tourists springing a major surprise by picking little-known spinner Ashton Agar.
The Middlesex fast bowler got the nod ahead of Yorkshire's Tim Bresnan but he will have to wait for his chance to shine - England captain Alastair Cook won the toss and chose to bat.
Australia meanwhile sprung a major selection surprise by picking left-arm spinner Agar.
Agar, just 19, has played just 10 first-class matches - the first in Janaury this year - but he will make his Test debut at Trent Bridge.
He played in Australia's last warm-up match against Worcestershire, returning modest figures of 2-79 off 23 overs and 1-86 off 27 in the second innings.
Agar, 6'4" has played for the Australia U19 and U20 sides, and he plays his domestic cricket for Western Australia.
He was a surprise inclusion in the squad, but few expected him to be named in the starting XI.

England currently 27-0

Pah! early days :stare:

TarJak 07-10-13 06:15 AM
The Agar selection is definitely a surprise. Not seen much of his work and a big ask to debut in the 1st Test. Good luck to him hope he gets a bowl and knocks a few wickets over.

Jimbuna 07-10-13 06:18 AM
That's probably part of the selection justification...the fact he has no form to study and will be offering something unexpected and different.

TarJak 07-10-13 06:36 AM
Aside from that boundary first up his first over looked pretty tidy. Getting plenty of revs on the ball, good flight and a bit of bounce.

BossMark 07-10-13 07:07 AM
Pretty even 98-2 at dinner time

TarJak 07-10-13 08:55 AM
Another couple of wickets after lunch. Yum yum! 147-4 Still reasonable even with a slight advantage our way. Another wicket soon would make things very interesting.

nikimcbee 07-10-13 09:28 AM
So we need some sort of Pommy-convict bet here.:hmmm:

England wins, Tarjak has to.....

Oz wins, Jim has to...
my vote: Oz wins, Bossmark has to kiss a picture of Thacher (with a smile on his face), take a photo of the event, post it in bio section.:hmmm::up:

TarJak 07-10-13 09:30 AM
And things are getting interesting at 180-6. Siddle have a red hot go with a fivefer!:yeah:
Great to see we are in the lower order with the score under 200.
