The Ashes - Cricket

[duke o' york]

What a finish! Monty and Anderson managed to block everything, and were saved by the clock.

Punter's face must be a sight about now.

I'm not keen on England's repeatedly sending on the twelfth man and physio, but I'm sure Australia would have done the same.

They had more than enough time to win it.

And England will need to seriously improve now.

Amazing finish. Didn't think they could hold out. I'd thought that only England could get 670 odd runs and fail to win a game.

Since cricket is a sadly-neglected topic here on Poly, any fans are cordially invited to the sports forum on Counterglow where you'll find more action.

Things are not going too well for Australian men's sport right now. At lst the Hockeyroos made it to the Champoing Tropjy Final.

Drunk cricket thread.



Hurrah for TMS online.

Oz have had some bad calls in this 2nd innings but they can't say an England win would be a bad reflection of this test.

[Maquiladora]

Classic England. Trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again.

WOO!

And here is a picture of the Captain who will be holding it up at the end of the current series.

FAIL

[St Jon]

WE WON

[Maquiladora]

Maybe, but Punter will always be known as "the bloke who lost the Ashes".

...twice. Ho ho ho

[MOBIUS]

Greatly enjoyed the Ashes this year - especially seeing as I was at the first two days of the first test...

Funny how Panesar's 3 or so runs that game helped win the urn.
