Default 2006/7 Ashes thread
Anyone staying up to watch/listen to the start of the ashes? I'll stay up and listen until I end up falling asleep.

Not sure about Giles playing instead of Monty!

346/3 after the first day.Really poor start,I was listening until gone 3 and I've watched the highlights on the bbc website.

That first ball by Harminson was so wide! I'm suprised to see Pieterson bowling as much as he has.There seems to be something up with Harmy and he didn't bowl after 2pm.

Harmisons 1st ball last night was a joke!!! .. he bowled it at 3rd slip!!!!

.. they gotta shape up, or they're gonna get hammered!!

..Mind you, as my mate keeps pointing out, we lost the 1st test last year, and went on to beat the Aussies, so lets not lose all hope!!

I was looking for odds on 450-2 after the first ball last night. I hope the rest of the team play better tonight.

We need to at 373-3. We could really do with a few wickets.

It's a new record stand at the ground... no two batsman have made so many runs together there.

And Harmison is still blowing as bad as I do.

Who knows. He has given away 5 runs in extra's. I guess, Flintoff is trying to see if he can regain his confidence. They should send him home and call for a replacement. We really need Jones fit and well again.

I thought the bowling was bad but 53/3 is poor.I just hope Pieterson, Bell and Flintoff can salvage it so we don't face the follow on.

At least Harmison managed to get a wicket, that might give him a bit more confidence.I wonder how long it will be before Monty get's his chance?

Highlights are now up on the bbc website btw.

Flintoff looked back to his best taking 4 wicket's, we need Flintoff and Pieterson to build a good partnership if were to get close to Austraila.

Flintoff is really the only one bowling upto the required standard to beat Australia.
