Re: ********The Ashes********

Who thinks if Clarke wins the toss he will bowl?

Hot weather leading up to it says it's a batting pitch.

Re: ********The Ashes********

Think it'll pan out in the same way as the Lions tour. Before that started everyone was predicting a landslide as the Aussies were not the force they once were. As it was they pushed us all the way before fading away at the end. So

England to win the 1st Test. Australia the 2nd. Draw. England. England. 3-1.

Cook and Jimmy for us.
Clarke and Starc for them.

Re: ********The Ashes********

Is the Aussies that bad???? I dont know a lot about cricket. I know they have a new coach could it be that they are all playing for there places and do better than most think. Again I dont know much about cricket but 7/2 on Aussies to win the test series are they that big odds because they are not good enough or better than them odds offered?

They would be value at 6 or 7 but offer none at 7/2.

I personally wouldn't stick a ton on them if they were at tens.

I've got 4-0 England, Cook top English batsman, Anderson top English bowler and Clarke top Aussie batsman.

Re: ********The Ashes********

I love it when we win The Ashes.
Even more so this time because I am sick to the back teeth of hearing about how 'brilliant' Australia is from relations about to emigrate.

I don't know if you back heavy favourites but if you do, get on England to win the series at 2/5. No other result is possible

Only the weather will stop an England series win imo.

Just hope the weather stays like it is. Fucking hate it when rain ruins the games.
