Ashes 2015

[HBF]

Im reading that AUS are going into this match with no spin and leaving out Lyon??

interesting strategy..

I wouldn't have thought so.
Lyon is integral to our make up.

Still remember the night Agar made 98.
I would say the best night of Big Footy ever.

Watson to keep his spot

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I can't understand this need to retain Watson for 'experience'

How many winning Ashes Tests in England has he played in?

Craddock made a good point

Its better to bring in Marsh after a Watson fail than Watson after a Marsh fail.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Can I review this decision?

 

[Fat Nyfe]

All the justification for Watson is about the bowling he offers. He has taken 3 wickets against England, in England. Ever. 8 tests played.

Surely it's better to start with Marsh and persevere with him? Jesus, we've done it with Watson for years now. Marsh can't get a series?

 

[Kram]

Craddock is a complete moron.

I can only think of Headingly in 09. Does the Pakistan tour in 2010 (if he played, can't remember) count?

 

[Fat Nyfe]

And the experience argument is complete BS. Ponting has more experience than Smith batting in England, bring him back? If it's a case of a player with more experience vs a player who is simply better, it's a no brainer. Well, it should be at least but apparently not.

I'm hoping the forums go off like they did when Agar got his ridiculous 99. You'd refresh and 2 new pages would have gone up.

One of the best nights ever here. It was hilarious.

Still Havent forgiven Steve Finn for his bowling in that partnership.


My lineup for this game would be..

Cook
Lyth
Ballance
Bell
Root
Stokes
Buttler
Moeen
Rashid
Jimmy
Broad

I thought all the talk was that this track will be a green seamer?

Better not be a green seamer!!!
if so ,I replace Rashid with Wood .

 

[The_Reaper]

I thought all the talk was that this track will be a green seamer?

All the talk I heard was of a pretty dry wicket

Edit: Actually all the talk I can read now is off a green seamer.

 

[ROOTA#6]

Cannot go in without Lyon surely

 

[Mkcaptain]

Do they think if they play Watson enough the things they say about him will become true? To me Mitch Marsh seems to be far superior as a bowler let alone as a batsmen.

 

[Torz]

Experience isn't much use if you're no good.

Got a spare hour? Perfect for Ashes eve.



What a bloody awesome series to be Australian!

All those clips edited together like that remind you of how terrible the Channel 9 commentators are

Yep, that was my thought straight after as well. Hopefully we get Sky commentators coming into the box regularly just so we can hear voices other than those muppets.

Agree with all that, but I reckon it will be 2-1 Australia with

Cardiff - Draw
Lords - Aus Win
Edgebaston - Eng Win
Trent Bridge - Aus Win
The Oval - Draw
