Pity we've already lost the Ashes...

[Ionic_Storm]

I know! About flippin' time!

Screwed up face Gilchrist declared too early. Butcher played class. Lets hope we can win at the Oval. Mullaly was as sh1t as his hairstyle as usual.<br>

[Ionic_Storm]

lol! So true!

I was at gods gift to the world (headingley) on saturday the atmosphere was AWSOME lots of costumes ,singing and loads of free scrumpy jacks being given out to everyone

[A(THE?)MARK_AND_LARD_FAN]

Yeah Butcher ws class - Hussain played well too.<br>And great news.....Tuffers is back for the Oval test!!!!! If Thorpe/Vaughan/Hussain had been fit for all the tests I reckon the series mightn't have been so 1-sided.<br>But at least Gilchrist declared and made a game of it - he could have just closed out the match.

Hopefully Tuffers might get more than 10 runs this time.

Last time (if I remember rightly) Tuffers played at the Oval he had a blinder. Then he gets jettisoned. Why? <P>Also Robert Croft (who can only spin the ball one way. Badly) is absolute she-ite. Ashley Giles keeps getting injured because he's got a nancy first name. Surely there's a decent leggie out there somewhere (DO NOT mention Salisbury. Useless choccy teapot bowler he is!)<P>With Thorpe, Vaughn and Hussain fit I agree we would have probably lost by a lesser degree. Atherton and Trescothick haven't really performed that well together.  Trescothick suffers from Gower's old wave it about outside off stump and get out syndrome.<P>Brett Lee, Gillespie and McGrath being smacked all over the ground by Butcher was an absoloute sight to behold. PURE CLASS!<p>[This message has been edited by winker (edited 22 August 2001).]

hopefully tuffers might even get some WICKETS!...come on gough! also hoggard has to come back soon he is amazing

[five_grand]

england won't win at the oval. alex tudor is injured which means that either ormond or johnson will play and who are they? also afzaal is a bit pants.

[A(THE?)MARK_AND_LARD_FAN]

Australia 316-2.....great....

[winker]

I like Caddicks response. If you can't get 'em out bowl at their heads!<P>Afzaal is pants, but he has more promise than Ian Ward who couldn't even hold the bat straight!<br>I think Goughie and Caddick need a rocket up their asses as they seem to be going thru the motions. When Hoggard is back from injury he'll do some damage. <P>Tudor=big girl's blouse.<P>Best we can hope for this one is a draw.<p>[This message has been edited by winker (edited 23 August 2001).]
