Re: Ashes Cricket
England's lack of preparation has cost them. I still think they can come back from this, but they've have left no margin for error.

Do you have any anti-siphoning laws in the UK? Over here, we have such laws to prevent certain events which are deemed 'too important' from being shown on pay-tv instead of free-to-air.I am anaspeptic, pharismotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation.

The current list as far as cricket is concerned is probably fine as it protects Test Matches and ODIs of the national team but for other things like F1, it only protects the AGP.

Also, given that the current minister is Malcolm Turnbull who is determined to put a knife to the throat of the NBN, and the ABC, and SBS, quite frankly, we should be thankful that there even is any televised sport in this country. Mr Murdoch already has the government in the palm of his hand and I'm sure if he asked nicely, they'd jump.

Re: Ashes Cricket
Yeah, big partnerships scored often is what they need. For those who don't know, it'll be abnormally hot for this match. Temperatures of 38, 38, 38, 39 and 30 are expected for the scheduled days of this match. Ryan Harris has a potential injury issue, which may be magnified under the heat, particularly if England bat long enough. The pre game talk has been quite cagey over here. I'm not sure what to make of it?

Re: Ashes Cricket
So far, Rogers has fallen to a comedy run-out by Anderson, Shane Watson didn't do his homework and holed out to Swann and Dave Warner has been bashing like a mad thing.
52/2 after 11 overs. At this rate the Aussies will be out for about 250 odd hopefully.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

Re: Ashes Cricket
If you want a textbook example of how not to captain, how not to set a field, and how not to instill confidence in your players, then Alistair Cook is doing a pretty good job of that.

Re: Ashes Cricket
I know Cook isn't a great captain right now, but I am confident he will do OK. He is Young, has a lot of experience and has only been captain for a short time. In which time we have won in India and the Home Ashes albeit by a flattering scoreline.
Alistair Cook has dug in now and is looking a bit more like his old self. which is one good thing.
Nether the less this Ashes is all over really. Play out the last 2.5 tests as well as we can and build again for the next series.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

[That was despite no sign of an edge on thermal imaging camera Hot Spot and a squiggle on the new addition to the DRS, the real-time Snicko, that appeared to show a noise slightly after the ball had passed the bat.
- Sydney Morning Herald, 14th Dec 2013
I thought that DRS was supposed to stop howlers. I was wrong. It was designed to stop sensibility.
Law 27.6 says that "If, after consultation, there is still doubt remaining, the decision shall be Not out."
Obviously there must not have been any doubt. But what sort of eejit still gets it wrong? Tony Hill... that sort of eejit.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

Wet conditions. Portuguese Autosport brought something to the table... the WRC2 crews are using a WRC spec tyre that is harder than the spec Meeke and other CPR runners are using.
