Do you think England have left enough room to secure a win?

In your dreams my friend!

Acorah's Angel is in fact an England supporter, so she must be an expat (?)

Ok, yes I am originally from England, live in Aussieland now, so have a fair claim to wanting England to win, but, have to show some loyalty to my new country!

 

[~*ZEE*~]

I think a draw is quite a satisfactory result. Of course it would have been better had the Aussies whooped, but I'm happy enough with the draw because for a while there it didn't look like they were going to get make enough runs and really challenge England. The English sport some pretty good fielding..it makes it extra stressing for me when the Aussie's bat last :o

Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi! *warcries*

 

[~*ZEE*~]

Question: who decided to hold the Ashes in England?!? They must have had an inkling that the weather would present problems...it's Winter in Australia but its weather is still more reliable!

Nice batting so far by England - Gah! They can't win...it would bruise my Aussie morale *pout*

229 for 4 at the close of play.

It's a pity that the rain had to come down when England were doing well. Does God want Australia to win?

I think it'll rain tomorrow and maybe Saturday causing the game to end in an uncompleted draw.

Unfortuantely I don't think God takes sides. Besides, delay by cause of rain doesn't spell out an advantage for Australia

229 for 4 is nice batting indeed! *nod* I still don't like the fact that England gets to set the standard by batting first *huffs* How'd that work out anyway? *grump*

my boyfriend wanted england to reach 500 before they were all out..i laughed so much when they only got 477

 

[Elboy]

I know! that was soooo unfair! Darn you Ian Bell going out for something like 3!!! Gar if only you would of lived up to your expectations!

Oh well atleast the Aussies are only 99 for 5! Im happy still

Who thinks were gunna win this test?? Or are the Aussies going to hang on for another draw???

The Aussies are struggling for certain. England are doing the unimaginable. Oh dear, it looks like the 2005 Ashes series is gonna be a draw in all likelihood! How boring!
Why not let the Aussies win? Because at least the Aussies now how to win in style!

 

[Elboy]

Nay!

We can never let them win! Were doing it in style! Fashionable style unlike them! The Aussies used to win in 2 days! With giving the people of england what they want! Huge scores and great games of cricket!

Come on england! Lets go finish themn off today! Yeh go england!

[Loopi]

Lol, it would be nice to see England thrash Oz in some sorta sport, England generally suck in the sports department

 

[Elboy]

hey were amazing at sports! Come on England! lets bring the ashes home!

Next World cup 2006! Yeh come on!

El

 

[Loopi]

World cup 2006....your dreaming.

 

[Elboy]

No way!!!

Were gunna win! Come on england! Then rugby world cup!

Well done for our boys in the ashes at the mo! 218-all out for the aussies! Ha ha they have to follow on! Yeh come on lads! Lets bring it home!

El

 

[Loopi]

*Sounds dumb* what does follow on mean?!

 

[Elboy]

Basically the aussies have to go again!!! So then they will set a target for us wel thats if they can beat what we set for them yesterday!

Ie. we had 477 and they got 218. so they have to carry on because they are miles away from the target. so if they get something like 400 we would only need a couple hundred to win!

Basically its all in our hands now! Come on england!
