Ashes Build up

[flashyfox]

England depart for Australia this evening in an attempt to retain the Ashes. The Aussies have been full of themselves as usual with Mcgrath and Macgill having a dig at certain players. Come on Freddie lets stuff the Aussies and show them last year wasn't a fluke.

We sometimes get this in the solid fuel stove on the boat, but if you riddle it through regularly and empty them once a day, it can be avoided. What fuel are you using?

You might think that, but then you've never had to walk backwards along a canal-bank with a pile of smouldering ashes.

Bloody youngsters of today - don't even know they're born!!

put the ashes in a metel container with a lid on and bang it on a wheelbarrow

Ok back to the real issue if i may. Vaughan reckons he could be back playing in 3 weeks time. Can't see it happening myself.

Whilst the Aussies will be fav to regain the Ashes, the next few years are going to be very interesting. The Aussies have been in a class of there own for 10-15 years but the core of their team is approaching retirement. They still have good players coming through but they are not going to produce another Shane Warne, Glen McGrath, and Gilchrist any day soon. The door is starting to open for England.

Prime Minister's XI made 347/5 from their 50 overs in the first warm up match.

Mahmood went for 97 runs from 9 overs

England have lost an early wicket, 3/1.

England 124/6 from 23 overs, crap bowling, crap batting.

Typical one day stuff from England! Not the start we wanted. Jones dropped an easy catch to dismiss Jaques would went on to get a hundred! Bad fielding, bad bowling and bad batting. Worrying!!!
