The Adelaide Ashes...

[Hugshawks]

So, which of you Hawk fans are gonna be at the game?

I know for a fact that straight after I've wasted a couple hours of my life on a Biology exam, I'm gonna be running towards the cricket as fast as I can.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

your still doing exams? us here, at all level, apart from a few left at Uni's have finished

 

[KingRich]

England named an unchanged lineup! How adventurous of them!!! They needed to bring some more variation into the attack if they wanted any chance! Poor decision IMO.

 

[Cynic]

I can't believe how good Clark is...I expected 1 or 2 for 300 on this pitch.

 

[hawkaz1]

Arrrgh wtf is this, 3/257.

 

[BedlamHawk]

gonna be a draw can see it happening
the poms will go in chirping after their score of 450 and then australia will come out and make 500 with 1 and half days to go.

Ya, they finish very late down here.

Not a great day of cricket. Looks like a draw.

 

[Philhawk]

Terrific first day from the Poms. Didn't lose too many wickets and look like (providing KP stays in), that they could make 300-350 today.

Problem is, as the pitch wears down, they actually would have liked to have a decent spinner exposing the cracks.

That's where Monty Panesar should have stepped in.

 

[hawkaz1]

1/8, wow how awesome. How we can go without getting a wicket for about 4 sessions and england get one in the second over? This is extremely lame.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

i hope it remains 1-0 until the final test, or if the poms can win one and we win the other so its 2-1, means poms will be trying for the win at all costs in sydney to retain the urn

 

[hawkaz1]

I hope we bowl the poms out wiuth a lead of 200 and chase it down after lunch. Then win the next 3 tests by an innings and 400 runs. Screw a good contest I want them to suffer.

 

[hawkaz1]

Yes, we won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How the hell did we do that, I will remember this match forever

 

[kimbopen]

Great win. The Poms seemed to fall apart with their batting today.

I was speaking with a couple of guys at work, and was saying to them that I thought the Aussies would go for the win.

Even with a required run rate of 4.66 per over, I always thought it was gettable.

 

[Fastback]

Awesome effort.

 

[scout]

Incredible result.

Turned on the radio around five o'clock, expecting to hear it petering out to a draw, but somehow they were counting down the runs for a win.

Warne once again showed he's an all-time great. Ponting and Hussey were inspirational.

 

[Cynic]

Sadly though it has killed the series

Let's hope 5 - 0

So many people knocked off work early to get down to the Oval to witness the enthralling final session. Great stuff!

Yep, I even had to bludge work that day to go to it! I failed the exam the next day...but I rekon the game was more important hehe.

Surely you got a bs doc's cert. and took the exam again, what kind of student are you?

Yes, I was one of them. I loved it when "Pie"tersen threw the 4 overthrows after they ran 3. It was so stupid, and the crowd really gave it to him.
