Red is Dead Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Aussies played magnificent cricket, and England have retained the ashes due to...bad weather. For fucks sake. summer was going so well, as well.
SirFozzie Posted August 7, 2013 Author Posted August 7, 2013 When I first read the story, I was hoping against hope that the story was that Panesar (notoriously bad at the batting crease) peed himself him in fear when someone bowled a head high bouncer. But unfortunately, that's not what Panesar urinates on bouncers meant: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-23600037 1
SirFozzie Posted August 11, 2013 Author Posted August 11, 2013 4th test is getting interesting, England lead is close to 200 (they stand on 221-5), if they can find another 100 runs or so, the Aussies may have trouble (the scores are 238 and 270 in the first two innings, so the game's really in the balance)
adamsie Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 maybe the rain will save australia from a lost, like it did for england
SirFozzie Posted August 12, 2013 Author Posted August 12, 2013 maybe the rain will save australia from a lost, like it did for england Doesn't look like that's going to happen.. Australia collapse from 109-0 to 199-8, still with an hour or so left in the day, they could be bowled out tonight.

Australia collapse from 109-0 to 199-8, still with an hour or so left in the day, they could be bowled out tonight. That's what happened. England win The Ashes 3-0 with 1 drawn game.
SirFozzie Posted August 12, 2013 Author Posted August 12, 2013 England win the Ashes officially, winning the Fourth Test by 74 runs.
SirFozzie Posted August 22, 2013 Author Posted August 22, 2013 Looks like barring an england collapse, the final Test is going to end with a fizzle, Australia declare at 492-9, while England have made 32-0 in reply.. the pitch is great for batting, for bowling? Not so much.
SirFozzie Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 Yup, England go into Operation Shutdown, finish day 3 at 247-4, behind by 245 runs (but almost definitely will make Australia bat again, which unless something amazing happens means that it'll be a draw) Really negative cricket, a horrible scoring rate of 2.1 an over today for England, but I guess it's what was left to them after Australia beat them up in the first innings.
SirFozzie Posted August 25, 2013 Author Posted August 25, 2013 Was actually shaping up to be a crackerjack finish, as Australia sportingly declared at 111-6 (23 overs) setting England a goal of 237 from 44 overs, but sadly the game ended four overs early with England 21 runs short and five wickets in hand.

Shit it had to end that way. Just have to ponder the way it was going to go.
SirFozzie Posted August 29, 2013 Author Posted August 29, 2013 From the Hit and Giggle part of Australia's tour: Aaron Finch launches 14 sixes in an innings of 156(nearly breaking the world record for fastest century) and the Aussies win the first 20 over game comfortably
SirFozzie Posted October 1, 2013 Author Posted October 1, 2013 BTW, for those of you who have Verizon FIOS, Willow TV, the #1 provider of cricket, has been added, Channel 1007
SirFozzie Posted November 3, 2013 Author Posted November 3, 2013 Man, watching the IND/AUS and BANG/NZ series.. can anyone bowl in one day games anymore? It's like an extended Twenty20 game, 300+ chased down multiple times... the bat/ball balance is way off.
SirFozzie Posted November 21, 2013 Author Posted November 21, 2013 Well, the Ashes have begun (yes, again) in Australia. The Aussies were in trouble (132 for 6) but recovered well to be 273 for 8 at the close of play on Day one of the first test. Still likely a below par score, the pitch is very forgiving.
The Natural Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Rivarly renewed! You knew Broad was going to get stick.
SirFozzie Posted November 21, 2013 Author Posted November 21, 2013 and he then stuck it to the Aussies...
SirFozzie Posted November 22, 2013 Author Posted November 22, 2013 England COMPLETELY collapses, 91 for 8.
The Natural Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 England COMPLETELY collapses, 91 for 8. Going on recent batting form, it was going to happen. Bugger.
SirFozzie Posted November 23, 2013 Author Posted November 23, 2013 And it only got worse, England need to chase down 561 and are 24/2
SirFozzie Posted November 24, 2013 Author Posted November 24, 2013 And england splat again, losing by something like 350 runs. This could be a LONG series.
The Natural Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 England deserved to lose that. 1-0 to you.
The Natural Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Best wishes to Jonathan Trott: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/25085025 Didn't like David Warner comments on Trott before this came out, they are worse now.
SirFozzie Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 Aussies Kicking butt again (529/9). This is not going to be a fun series for England, apparently
SirFozzie Posted December 7, 2013 Author Posted December 7, 2013 And England collapse again. Is home cooking such a big deal? I've never seen such a ridiculout turn around from one series to the next
