Ashes are done, now for the ODIs

[me]

i wouldn't be surprised

That's if we even get play.

[me]

yeah weather permitting obviously but still, i'm backing a result in adelaide, i'd be surprised if it's a draw

[Nige]

Yeah, despite the talks of bad weather being on the cards, I'm starting to think we'll get another result, still not too sure which way though.

[Bill Manspeaker]

well as long as it only rains in the morning then hopefully we'll be sweet.

nothing to do with the ashes, but watching NZ v Windies and Ross Taylor has just gone passed his previous high score. on 163* atm.

okay. carry on :P


Edit; Taylor reaches his maiden double ton. this is also NZs highest test score vs Windies

[Mailman the 2nd]

I don't think the batting on either side is strong enough (vs. other bowlers) to warrant any draw, although rain might take a day or so off

[Nige]

Aussies are going in unchanged.

[PowerBug]

Ballance will bat at 3.

[KoopKicka]

Got my members card, my portable radio, my signature bat and my wallet ready. Gonna be a massive 5 days 8)


P.S, PB, if I get Ballances autograph, would you buy it? ;)

[BB67th]

Well it looks like Gary is going to play for England. Without an all-rounder though you have to ask yourself whether England have the right Ballance  8)

[Bill Manspeaker]

haha I like it koop. ask him to write "PB, (or *insert name here*) my number one fan" or something like that. PB would buy it for sure

HA and great call BB67

[PowerBug]

I would buy it off you Koop for $20, if you got it personalised. You know my name. :P


However I'll hope to get his autograph too >:D Yes! THe Portable radio. Must not forget the portable radio. :D And the magazine for when it's lunch time. ;)

Wow what a joke. Like the Gabba would be dropped as a venue. One of the best cricket grounds in the world. Why don't they play at Alice Springs instead and they can keep that sledging ground announcer?  ::)
