The 2007/07 Cricket Ashes Thread

Post by Danallica »

Figured I might as well make a thread for the upcomng ashes series, only 11 days away.

Our 2nd string side just smashed the poms by 166 runs, if that match was anything to go by then it's going to be an awesome summer.

Just post your thoughts and whatever here until the actual series starts. :thumbs-up:

Yup Prime Ministers 11 absolutely thrashed the poms, not a good start to their campaign. It'll be real trouble if NSW do the same thing...


Looking forward to the ashes proper though, they've had their freebie but now it's time to get 'em back for another few decades :D

If your an England supporter don't worry, you're playing us (Southern Redbacks) soon, you'll thump us.

I wouldn't bet on it, if we ever actually win anything, then the team usually goes downhill afterwards. Just look at the Rugby team to see that, they couldn't beat anybody afterwards.

Time to retake that little urn. Should be a good series, but we should definately retake the prize - we remain the best team in the world after all.

The Aussies are 0/68 after 15 Overs, looking pretty comfortable at the moment.


It looks like England have finally settled down a bit, I couldn't work out what they thought they were doing changing the field after every delivery, and setting it so they'd be rewarded only if the bowler kept bowling badly.

Good start so far :)
