You know I actually get bored of seeing India vs Australia cause it has been done to death. When I see Australia vs Pakistan both of these teams seem to have that same fighting nature. Which makes the matches seem absolutly electric.

So electric.  Just like this one.

The team that bats worse will lose.  I predict the "Chef" to have a stinker of a series.

lol how we would love that...but it will be fun to watch..

[Vilander]

i am waiting to see how he replicated Sachin...or outscores him...this Ashes will be fun. But no pattinson was a bit of a loss of fun but now it will be starc haze cummins with bird as reserve..not bad at all...

We're all resigned to the inevitable thrashing here, well most of us are anyway. The Brexiteers are still confident, telling us realists to "stop talking the country down", just like they do when anyone questions them on the car crash of leaving the EU. 

 

Not looking forward to waking up on the cold, dark winter mornings to tales of woe from down under. Fortunately I can't watch as I don't subscribe to the BT Sports channel who will be showing the games.

 

Looking forward to the NZ tour later in the winter which ideally would be a closer series, but I expect our little flowers will be mentally shot by then. Shame we can't just sack off the Ashes, hand the Convicts the urn without having to go through the pain, and have a full winter in NZ.

loosing Ben must have been below the belt..he is pretty much irreplaceable with bat and can always turn in one game winning performance with the ball.. But there is no Pattinson just Starc/Cummins and Hazelwood..lol

His slow fade to black has begun.   He looked vulnerable against Shami.  On Indian tracks that were on the slower side.  Its not his fault.  Reflexes slow down with age, its inevitable.   I always laugh when I see those extrapolations of Cook batting at basically near-peak or better levels, for another 4-5 years.   He'll be lucky to last another 2 in international cricket.  Sure, the runflation in cricket means its getting easier to score, especially against 2nd tier countries like SL, WI etc, but I expect him to do badly right now.   I'll go out on a limb and predict a sub-30 avg for him this ashes, with better than even odds for a sub-20 avg.

Reading that BBC report on Pomnishambles was an eye opener.  Sure Johnson was running rampant, but the lack of fight shown, and admitted to by the England camp is quite disappointing.  If that was my team talking like that, it would be disheartening.

The pinnacle of test cricket is back.

5 tests. Starts on the 23rd Nov at perth.

 

 

Discuss here 

Doesn't it start in Brisbane my friend?

 

I can't wait to see Englands batting collapse constantly thru the series. The Australian bowlers are too good the extra bounce will hurt England as they aren't use to it.

[chapetmarunga]

Expect another one sided series between these two average teams 

 

The biggest controversy would be when Kaptan Cook & vice captain James Anderson retire mid series.

The same team that thrashed Lol India in the CT final.

 

Despite losing 3 - 0, Pakistan were in the contest at many times during the match.  We played well and Wahab and Amir bowled without luck.  I suspect the scoreline would be different if we played the series again now

LOL ...one one day match doesn't mean much....

It's a shame that you are even believing that Pakistan has quality to compete with india in test matches
