KB Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Personally I think this could be one of the most interesting and closest Ashes series for a long time. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hmmmm, Session 2...none for! Gotta admit that the battle is close to square right now. Time for the Aussie spirit to show through. Go guys. O/S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 If Offshore and KB were Norwegian I'd know they'd been into the Aqevit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I've never gotten into cricket... it's on a par with baseball to me, but even longer! Whenever I played, I'm happy to bat, but I don't care for bowling or fielding. The same for baseball/softball, I'm happy to bat and pitching isn't so bad, but fielding is boring, but then I play sports like football (soccer), basketball, golf (badly), tennis and squash. Anyway, enjoy it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Overnight, the contest was about square. 1st session today belonged to the Poms, although the Aussies have hit back as lunch comes around. This will be an enthralling few days. (For those who are inclined ) O/S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Stumps on day 2, and the ascendancy is firmly with the Aussies. Well done guys! Looks like we will need to be well past the Poms total, on what will be a deteriorating pitch. 9 wickets in hand certainly has a nice ring to it.

offshore Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Stumps on day 3 and the Aussies are in the lead and only 5 down. Should build a substantial lead on day 4, but will there be enough time? A draw is on the cards. O/S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Dunno Alan I'm betting that around 300 will prove to much for the Poms in the second innings so whether we get those runs now or have to come back we still only need a day to bowl them out. Still it's going to go close. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Start of Day 5, England need to last, but have already lost 2 wickets this morning....4 for not a lot! Gotta think the Aussies will go 1 up later today. O/S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
