(TEXASMAC @ Jan. 02 2011,18:45) Ok, I have read all 8 pages. I still dont understand the love for soccer ( football ), but what is the story behind "Ashes"? Is that like the " Border War" between MICHIGAN and that team south?

Its something like this only played over 5 days instead of a few hours between England and Australia



Although I think the poms are   right now after that link. Oh well can't please everyone.

Good fightback by the Aussies in the final Sydney Test just when it appeared that England's openers were taking control.
Mitc Johnson had one of his good days with ball and bat, the first session tomorrow on day 3 is going to be compusive viewing.
Splendid Test Match and nothing in it at the moment because England really do need a healthy first innings lead on this pitch.

My prayer mat is coming out for some rain and with it the draw

Will Collingwood fail again ? I think he needs a positive innings or it could be his swan song..

England's openers were in cracking form today

KatoeyLover tells me I'm more negative than Boycott ...... so i've been gagged on my answer

Not much rain forecast .......

(guydesavoy @ Jan. 04 2011,16:16) Will Collingwood fail again ?  

err ... Yes

Still a very very interesting situation in the match. Difficult to call, unless you are as patriotic as KatoeyLover (or as fortunate on decisions as Cook is!)

An imperious display by England and more especially Alastair Cook on day 3 seems to have removed the prospect of a series levelling Aussie victory  
We are probably going to be looking at an England lead on first innings of 250-300 (it's already over 200) leaving Australia five sessions to survive however, I notice that heavy showers are forecast for the final day on Friday giving some hope for the home side to salvage a draw and allowing me to collect on that 2-1 series scoreline  

Current Odds for the Sydney Test

Australia 25/1

England 2/5

Draw  2/1



Engalnd to win the Ashes Series outright 1/500

That was the only bright spot in the day for me

Just as well you have Cook who is playing superb cricket this Tour. They just can't seem to get him out

Unless Australia produces a hero or two next innings (no, not that kind..) I think England will roll on. Unless pentire gets his wish, and that wouldn't be a bad result either

LUNCh day 4 and England equal their HIGHEST ever score ever in Australia!

636-9 - a lead of 356 Amazing!!

Way to go Boys!!

Bloody hell. The Aussies look very dispirited. They'll want to forget this campaign 'toot sweet!'

[titleist]

Bollocks to em all   , if you only knew how much crap i have copped over the past twenty years you would be bursting with pride right now. Australia have had their time in the sun and now it's time to suffer for a while........i'm rather looking forward to returning to work on Jan 20th
