Oh yes, looking forward to this and as long as the weather doesn't do it's usual, a fine series is expected. Wombat shufflers to win 2-1 for me, but i soooo want to be wrong...

Thoughts?

The national game shouldn't have left terrestrial.

By:

I agree with EO.

Rotten, sodding Murdoch ratbags.

There's a good laugh at the moment on Radio 5 - an Ashes Quiz with ex Brit and Aussie players and suchlike.

feels like the lowest key build up to an ashes series since england were getting routinely thrashed in the early 2000s

suppose it doesn't help clashing with wimbledon and that no one gives england much chance

Loads of stuff on Radio 5 and TalkSport for the last couple of weeks about The Ashes, Makeking - including a great interview on the Colin Murray show this morning with THE Tommo, who was a great laugh.

There's a new sense of optimism about England's chances since the NZ matches. Flintoff even reckons we're going to win!

By:

Tommy Toes When: 07 Jul 15 22:27

England WINin the Ashes pub quiz!

Hope that's an omen for the Series!

By:

Tommy Toes When: 07 Jul 15 22:28

- that should read WIN - not WINin!

mafeking When: 07 Jul 15 23:03

don't get me wrong it doesn't indicate any lack of enthusiasm on my part. going down to cardiff on thursday and edgbaston too. maybe the oval if we're still in with a shout

If we prepare seaming pitches we might get away with a 2-2 draw.
The first couple of days will be crucial . Would take a draw in the first test.

Think the Home side are in with a great chance of upsetting the Aussies..new found optimism after the N/Z series had me taking the 4/1 on offer for a ton..looking forward immensely to this series. As an aside top batsmen bet lovers should make their way to Boyles who offer money back(as a free bet) for a nifty max if Root or Warner top score for there respective countries.

I think a great bet is to back England + 1.5 tests at evens. I keep topping up anyway.

Cant see the predicted 3,4,5-0 happening here. Aussies nae that good imo

By:

mafeking When: 08 Jul 15 02:56

i'd agree with that. england are almost always very hard to beat at home and this aussie side is not that great

they'd be annihilated by the aussie sides of the 90s and even england from 2005 or 2010/11 would beat them them comfortably imo

By:

rob_dylan When: 08 Jul 15 05:21

Buttler, Stokes, Root and Ballance great young prospects.

By:

kenny mann When: 08 Jul 15 10:41

They're nearly off. Sky Sports 2, for some of us.

kenny mann When: 08 Jul 15 10:46

Alastair
Ashes 2015, England v Australia, first Test Cook has won the toss and will bat

By:

Rain delay.

By:

kenny mann When: 08 Jul 15 10:51

eventually!

By:

kenny mann When: 08 Jul 15 10:53

covers off, should be short delay.

By:

Foinavon When: 08 Jul 15 10:54

Was it such a good idea to bat first in damp overcast conditions?
Might see a few early wickets.

gower talking over the pop music

poor form

By:

kenny mann When: 08 Jul 15 11:07

Bell putting as much effort into singing the National Anthem as Rooney does.

By:

kenny mann When: 08 Jul 15 11:08

I though not myself, Foinavon. I'd have had a bowl.

By:

Foinavon When: 08 Jul 15 11:25

First one down already.

By:

guinness2dear When: 08 Jul 15 11:57

TMS fully 10 seconds behind 'live' pics..

Extremely disappointing with Atherton commentating..

By:

kenny mann When: 08 Jul 15 12:00

TMS are ahead of live pictures, shirley!?

By:

kenny mann When: 08 Jul 15 12:01

I guess you're listening online, not from the radio. Radio probably 3-4 secs ahead of Sky, otherwise I'd listen to it.

By:

guinness2dear When: 08 Jul 15 12:03

Ye would think so, but they aint.

26 secs behind now.

By:

guinness2dear When: 08 Jul 15 12:04

Online that is..

WTF is a radio, btw?

By:

kenny mann When: 08 Jul 15 12:17

Listen to the wireless then, you get it live.

By:

kenny mann When: 08 Jul 15 12:19

Also Sky high defintion is behind normal Sky

By:

kenny mann When: 08 Jul 15 12:20

ffs 3 down

Foinavon and I knew.

FIELD

By:

guinness2dear When: 08 Jul 15 12:32

TMS (online) is 26 secs behind Sky HD..

By:

kenny mann When: 08 Jul 15 12:46

I know it's miles behind as I listened to it this morning.

The 2 Yorkshire lads digging in.

By:

guinness2dear When: 08 Jul 15 12:48

They need to.

Never known TMS that slow, usually a second or so..

By:

kenny mann When: 08 Jul 15 12:50

Root thinks this is 20/20 lol

23 off 16

By:

Foinavon When: 08 Jul 15 14:08

Root and Ballance restoring the... ahem ... balance, now.

A good contest full of interest.

By:

guinness2dear When: 08 Jul 15 14:18

I still would have bowled.

By:

guinness2dear When: 08 Jul 15 14:19

If the other pitches coming up are manufactured to this level, then drop ding dong and play 2 spinners.
