The Ashes

[henry]

I liked the fight Cowan showed in India, but he's clearly not a number 3 and if rogers is opening instead of him Khawaja needs to play at 3. A lot of loose shots resulting in wickets from batsmen who should know better, Trott, Pieterson (ok maybe he doesn't know better lol) and Cowan especially. As much as I hate Steven Smith lol he's surprisingly performing alright.

Ummmm so where is Nathan Lyon? Not picking the best spinner in the country that in his last match took 9fa including 7 in an innings. WTF :o

Cowan no. 3 ::) that's just sad... But how about the ball that got Clarke, no one in the world could have kept that out.

Ripping ball that got Clarke out. Nothing a batsman can really do to keep that out when it swings so late and it just grazes the off bail to take it off. Reminds me of the ball that Ponting got out to from Kallis when he fell over, except Clarke managed to actually keep his feet :P

No they couldn't. I told you that this would happen aswell, Anderson is unplayable with a new Duke.

Ball of the series without a doubt. That was insane.  :o 8)

Hye guys, everyone remembers that ball by Anderson last night, anyone remember the one he took last Ashes series in England, in 2009? Bowling Graham Manou? No?

Were you surprised by Anderson bowling like that last night? You obviously haven't seen him bowl in England.

Watch it. Then watch the ball to remove Clarke. This guy, with a new Duke, is unplayable. Only 76 more wickets to be Englands all time wicket taker.

'Only 76'.

76 is a lot of wickets!

It is, but the guy is 30. Are you expecting him to retire by the end of next year? He'll get 40+ by the time these 10 tests are over...

Maybe only was the wrong choice of words, but he'll comfortably reach that milestone. :)

Yeah he will definitely take the record, but really England haven't produced many great all time bowlers. Trueman was probably the best, Botham was a gun for an allrounder, but I don't feel they have anyone that stands up to Lillee or McGrath, and definitely no spinner near Warne.

Michael Clarke has gotten out for 0 plenty of times in the past, and it is assured to happen again in the future.

A batsman is at his most vulnerable when he is yet to make a run.
