Ashes 2010/11

[Dave]

Play is starting half an hour early today isn't it, to make up for the early finish yesterday?

I'd probably slog it for that half hour, add another fifty or so.

[PaulWinch again]

I'd bat for half an hour, purely so the openers have to get into a fielding mindset first.

[Gazza1982]

Excuse my ignorance,,,but how the hell can you actually like a game that takes 3 days to get a result???

[PaulWinch again]

It can take 5, and because it's very good.

[TheSandman]

Because it takes five days to get a result! That's part of the beauty for me.

It is especially useful if you've got tonnes of stuff to do for something and are staying up until 2, 3 or 4 in the morning.

[PaulWinch again]

I'm pretty tired but I'm gonna try and muster an hour or so.

[Dave Cooper please]

Excuse my ignorance,,,but how the hell can you actually like a game that takes 3 days to get a result???

And you are on this thread about a game we obviously like and you don't for what reason exactly?
I don't like rugby so I don't post on the rugby thread.
And it's five days.

Anyhow, another night on the settee for me, hope to make at least 4am before sleep takes me, either way hopefully I'll see most of the Aussie wickets.

I'd declare straightaway, the first hour of the day is always the most dangerous for the batsman, so no point wasting it on a KP and Bell slugfest.

Especially with more rain predicted.

[Dave]

Carrying on with the bat for the moment.

[cdbearsfan]

Fucking declare you twats

[Shrek]

I agree with what Shane Warne is saying, we need as long as possible to bowl them out with the weather forecast.

Strauss has previous for declaring to late in this type of situation aswell.

[Dave]

Pietersen gone.

Good knock.

[Shrek]

This is pathetic, the Aussies taking cheap wickets can only benefit them.

[Shrek]

Spoke to soon lol

[cdbearsfan]

In the pub when I get home I better see convicts batting or Strauss is an idiot
