Ashes Build up

[glyn]

Will be watching the start and see how long i can last before the bed calls. So hope Freddie wins the toss. A good start is so important!

Same plan. Hope I'm not watching Hayden cart Harmy around the ground for a couple of hours

I hope for a winning toss this pitch is Australia's Trent Bridge. There isn't much on it for bowlers till later in the test.

OME ON ENGLAND!!!!!!!!! I am off Spar in a bit for super treats...

I'm staying up and watching it, despite the fact I have to be at the train station for 9ish to go to Newcastle.

Was planning on wearing my contact lenses though and I ain't supposed to sleep in those.

C'mon England.

From the way they are talking on sky sports news they reckon Giles is going to get the nod ahead of Panesar. Big mistake IMO, sends the wrong signals out to the Aussies!!

 

[flashyfox]

Giles in ahead of Panesar!!! :icon_sad: :icon_sad:

 

[Durham Fox]
