Ashes down under

[bulmer1889]

Problem will be rod we'll be starting our innings at the worst time of day under the lights all we can hope is the ball does what it did on day one and not last night otherwise it could all be over with a day to spare

Looks like the penny's finally dropped with the bowlers re length and with the captain re using your best bowlers

If England manage to win this test(highly unlikely i know) would it be a bigger shock than what happened in Bothams ashes at Headingley,not for me but i wonder what others think.UTCB

Listening to tms yesterday and Glen Magrath was saying that he wondered if the aussie captain Smith had made a huge mistake in declaring when he did, ala Nasser hussain over here for england years ago in the second test and the aussies went on to win it and the series, after we had pummeled them in the first test of that series. They were saying that both Rooty and Smith had made huge mistakes in the first innings but Joe seemed to have learn't from that.

Joe is a better leader of men than Arthur Scargill

Not to a brain dead TB donkey he's not Blocky.

Had the bowlers exploited the conditions on the first day , which were the most English like conditions of the match, then the result could have been different.

Most of the rest of the time the pitch and conditions have been similar for both so that first session , where we should have had an advantage, was critical.

However, why let the facts get in the way of a misguided hatchet job on one of our own?

If it wasn't so pathetic it would be laughable but it's not, it's inexplicable from those who supposedly support all things Blades related - unless it can be used to try to make some trivial, nonsensical argument with an attempt at cheap point scoring.

The TB complains when told he's not worth responding to because of the lack of logic in his argument then continues to post illogical clap trap ad nauseum.

Thick as.................
