Probably 30 minutes into the first session..it will either be game on or the Aussies will smoke them. We all knew when Harmison bowled the first two balls last series that we were going to pump shit through them, as for Harmison in the England series he donged langer and we were like ooohhhhh ****...

Thoughts?

It will probably rain all day on the first day of the Cardiff test and then we'll know the series is going to be a draw and the ECB will be ridiculed for staging the opening test at a new venue.

Seriously, we haven't had a drawn Ashes series for a long time, surely we are due for one now?

If Brett Lee gets picked for the first test, I can see where things are probably headed.

Last series Australia won the first test comprehensively. Despite starting very poorly, they rallied to win the 2nd innings by a long way, and thus the test.

It was Glenn McGrath's telling injury before a ball was bowled in the 2nd test which signaled game on.

IMO, if we see any players being taken off on the back of the drinks cart, game on!

Remember McGrath hurting himself stepping on a stray cricket ball in a warm up drill.

Buchanan lost us the Ashes. :rolleyes:

You really believe that slop?

McGrath was not an infant, it was his own fault.
