England Vs Australia - 1st Test Match - Brisbane - Cricket

[County]

Hiya all

I follow NFL, NCAA Sports etc and love everything about them.

The Wild Card weekend is one of the best weekends in sport....

The Superbowl is a sight to behold....

March Madness is a gamblers haven....

BUT....


Nothing and i mean NOTHING compares to an Ashes series down under....!:aktion033

Cricket is something special....something pure....just something i cant really explain....watch it and you will find out....

Bring it on....

Nice try with the cricket plug County, but I dont like your chances. How are you going to convince people who think a 0-0 draw in soccer is boring ( regardless of the number of chances ) into falling for a game that can go for 5 days and not get a result?


We will just have to keep it our little secret here ( along with a few other edumacated souls ) and watch the Aussies win back the Ashes.

I know what you mean mate!

Me and my mate were at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships a few years back and met two girls from America who couldnt understand how a game could last 5 days but have no result:think2:

We tried to explain but they were not having any of it!hno:

Come on Freddie bring home The Ashes!arty:

Cheers

Yet watching a baseball game for four hours that has 7 hits and finishes 1-0 is the American pastime. I still laugh whenever I see the TV commentators go crazy over a baseballer picking up and throwing a baseball with his non-glove hand and saying what an amazing play. Could you imagine Ricky Ponting and Mark Waugh fielding with a glove on?

Mate, the only way Freddie is bringing home those Ashes is if he steals them.

Good luck and all the best for the tour.

Even the Aussie bowlers are getting runs. Youre in trouble.

I know, i know!

It doesn't bode to well for the rest of the series but still....

Cheers

I truly dont understand why Australia didnt enforce the follow on. I know teams dont like to bat last in a test, but surely the likelihood of that occuring is minimal when you lead by 450.

I wrote this when Australia were 1-170 in their second innings, so while their decision has been vindicated, I still didnt see the need for them to do it.
