1st Test England vs Australia

[RoosterMarty]

I did laugh at the fact that he said England took in two international class bowlers while ours was only a club cricketer. I am not a huge fan of Hauritz but I wouldn't say he's worse than England's spinners...

No JJ, no you weren't. ENGLAND were lucky to hope for a draw, the Australian's only just missed out on winning and winning easily.

The ABSOLUTE OPPOSITE of what you said.

Sure, the test ended in a draw, but you clearly stated the best Aus could hope for was a draw when in fact they were one wicket away from an easy win.

An hour's less rain delay and game over.

I'm not calling you an idiot, but strutting round like nostradamus after such a ridiculous statement saves me some typing.

Just making a point to Cyclops that i was right. (tho i understand your point i was wrong)

Making the statement Aussies CANT win after Englands 1st inngs 435 was a bit of tounge in cheek.
Basically was just making the point that very few Tests are WON when conceding 435 in the 1st innings and also knew their was a bit of dodgy weather forecast later in the test.
The one factor that is always hard to factor in is the POMMIE capitulation factor which saw then do their best to lose it.

Fair enough.

Bring on Thursday!!!
