[bedford]

Tomorrow night it all starts , hopefully win the first and win the Ashes 3 - 1.
Also hoping that Warner goes when he's told .
Interesting how our attack goes against Bazball .

You and me the only cricket lovers here? Who'd have thunk it?

I hear that Hazlewood is questionable, otherwise we are at full strength, yeah?

Hazelwood been announced as being replaced by Boland. Not sure, but the English conditions should probably suit Boland's style.

Hazelwood 4 teats in 2 years , might be nearly done , dumb decision to play IPL

THERE WILL BE A COUPLE OF OTHER EXPERTS

If he is close to done, likely playing IPL for some retirement savings.

Summer at the Oval

 

[Swan4Life]

What a first day!

After a nervy start losing 3 early wickets, we have piled on the runs. I just cannot see a circumstance where we can lose this.

The pitch is starting to lose its green tinge and it looks like the decision by India to go with an extra fast bowler may be the wrong one.

If we can get it to say 520+, it's ours to lose.

Will win by 167 runs , Cummins M O M and Boland suited by this deck
Warner looked better , but still not convinced .
2 new openers for the Aussie season

 

[bedford]

Starc averages more with the bat in England than Usman and Davey , pity he's done as a bowler

He's okay with a new ball but struggles as the session wears on.


And Kohli is gone! Great catch by Smith. India 4/179.

 

[Swan4Life]

And now Jadeja gone for a quacker!!

Scott Boland with some great bowling today.

 

[Swan4Life]

8/220.

It's all over.

Makes up for the series loss in India.

Now onto the Poms.

 

[Swan4Life]

Victory by 209 runs.

Congrats to our Aussie world champions!

 

[Mister B]

Carn the Aussies.

Cannot drop Boland

I am enjoying the Indian fans melting over the Cameron Green catch. I agree with Ricky Ponting

My favourites are the ones that scream cheats but when you point out that the call was correct under the rules say that the rules should have been ignored... the irony.

What about that t urd in Gill on twitter he got fined

How much did he get fined? India got fined 100% of match fees for slow overs, Australia 80%. Bet you he got 'fined' his match fee which he had already lost.

So he got fined 15% of $0. FMD. What a joke.
