bs3 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I know this is not football related but there is nothing football related to chat about(having an argument about how many was going to Portugal you know it is really the silly season.) Anyhow how to people feel we will get on in the Ashes, there have been talk of an Aussie whitewash but our early season form has been encouraging. I definitely think we will win at least one test and if its the first test we win in Cardiff I can see momentum building. I'm off to Cardiff on the Saturday I'm sure they will be a large contingent from Bristol wether they are Gloucestershire or Somerset supporters I don't want to open that can of worms again. Anyway here's looking forward to an exciting summer of cricket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1ackbird Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I think there's no doubt the Assies are a better side than the one that beat us 0-5 last time, it's down to what we do in sessions, when we're on top. Whatever, should be great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever, should be great... That's the scary thing! We are better too though, hopefully Jimmy can get it swinging like the 60s, crowd get under Mitch's skin....should be a belter of a series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS2 Red Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I don't think it will be a whitewash but that's mainly because I think it will rain a lot this summer. Seriously though I think that England have a chance of winning a couple of tests, hopefully we can make it to three! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 We will win 3-1 or 4-1. I think we are too good for this England team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I think the Aussies will win but I expect England to compete quite well. It'll be interesting to see how the Aussie batsmen get on, most of them were useless the last time they were here but an awful lot has happened since then. And England's batting in that series wasn't great either, it was Bell that saved them several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1ackbird Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 We will win 3-1 or 4-1. I think we are too good for this England team. You'd have thought so, wouldn't you! Australia were favourites in 2005, and maybe, if Glenn M hadn't stood on a ball whilst warming up, things might have been different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Or if England had not played with professional replacement fielders..... That sounds like sore loser speak to me England's batting is now up and about the Australians (though prob not quite there). But unless the ball is really swinging, our bowling resources are nowhere close to your lots. NZ one dayers were misleading because they were chasing big totals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't got over the series in Australia that we lost and sat there in the MCG and watched those knobheads do that sprinkler dance on OUR MCG. Now that did take the p----. Add to that have to go to a BBQ that night with my old man in his England hat taking the mickey out of us. Tough time that was. The conditions are England's best chance. Swinging, overcast stuff.

handsofclay Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Let us not forget that the Aussies have lost the last two test series in England. The Aussies are great when everything is going their way, but if you can make them grovel... oh actually that type of fighting talk rebounded on the last person who used it, God rest his soul.

Unbelievable batsman. Said the same, possibly further up this thread - he looked like someone who would play half a dozen tests then we'd never see him again. Fair play to him, I'm actually looking forward to seeing him play this summer Aussie - who was the young lad that came close to a ton on 'day-boo' over here last time, can't think of his name now.
