Andrew Drinkwater Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 In light of that fact that we've not stuck 500+ up, I wish we'd not picked Collingwood ahead of another bowler now.

Guest Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 It's pi55ing down here in Newcastle - hopefully this rain will make its way south over the next few hours.

Administrators Philip Rolfe Posted September 9, 2005 Administrators Share Posted September 9, 2005 I think it's really quite sad we're desperate to rely on rain to win us the Ashes when we've shown we're capable of beating Australia playing cricket.

Administrators Philip Rolfe Posted September 9, 2005 Administrators Share Posted September 9, 2005 I'm not saying we'll necessarily win this test, but we've shown we ARE capable of it, so to show such desperation for rain to secure it seems a bit cheap.

The Aussies know they've been matched, and are only still in this series because of the genius of Warne. As soon as he retires, the mantle will pass on to us. That's good enough for me.

It's in Australia's interest that it scores its runs quickly and to build a lead (if possible) as fast as possible, to put England back in with as much time as possible to bowl England out a second time. Therefore, even though England shouldn't go out with a defensive mindset, they probably shouldn't mind some occupation of the crease, rather than blazing away. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Problem is Geraint Jones aint the sort of player who likes to hang around...... </div></BLOCKQUOTE> He speaketh the truth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
