And to think if Lee wasn't injured Hilf probably wouldn't have played a test yet! gun

but I think I get the point you're making, strange that we're so far ahead in the stats but losing the series. Should really have won Cardiff

 

[Belnakor]

Scoring 4 tons in one innings certainly helps boost up your stats.

And yet our side has played like garbage. All we've gotta do is click and we'll secure the urn, been saying it all along.

C'mon boys, fire up.

 

[rickyp]

I sure as hell wouldn't pick us to be 1 - 0 down if I had those stats handed to me...

Here are the full stats

They look better for the Aussie than the poms but I suspect f we had stats for Tests 2 and 3 only the Poms woudl be ahead

[TorresIsGod]

Siddle is so close to winning me money with the most wickets and yet he's likely to get dropped

 

[aussie1st]

The batting stats are basically the 1st Test. After that our batters have been throwing their wickets away like there is no tomorrow.

 

[ShearMagic9]

And in the only stat that matters - England are 1-0 up.

 

[TorresIsGod]

And in the only stat that matters - England are 1-0 up.

And in the only stat that matters - Australia are the holders of the Ashes.

I'm not quite sure how that's a statistic

5-0.

We only need to draw the series 1-1 to keep the Ashes. Based on our 5-0 performance last series.

Ah, okay. Thanks for clarifying that, I wasn't too sure on what the situation was.

But currently, what is the score in the series?
