Are you betting on the Ashes Zorb, I've won plenty so far backing the home team, Auzzies go well on their own tracks.
It is a shame the Poms are not fighting harder, there is nothing better in cricket than a decent Ashes series.
Their South Africans are slowly losing form or retiring, I wonder what the Poms do next to improve their team.

 

[Zorba]

Australia Declare at 6/369 giving England a target of 504 runs.


At this very moment England are 4/130.

I haven't got a bet on this series, I'm just getting into this series, I thought that England were going to give us a run but the team that won the Ashes earlier in the year are is not this team.

 

[Zorba]

England finished day 4 at 5/251 needing another 252 runs.

England are all out for 353, Australia wins the test by 150 runs and in doing so win the Ashes series.

and Bresnan is gone


if you count the series in England, then out of this 10 match series it is currently level at 3-3, with 2 games to go

 

[Zorba]

And out goes Pietersen also to another brilliant ball from Mitchel Johnston

 

[Gesshoo]

Yeah, props to Australia. They played well in England earlier this year without much luck and have dominated this series, damn them!

Having said that, England have been poor. 2nd highest score this inning is 38? Really???

 

[beardyian]

And out goes Pietersen also to another brilliant ball from Mitchel Johnston

And a typical Pietersen shot

Australia 164-9 at the close - thats better

Only 2 players scoring more than 20

Now im watching South Africa v india
India 227-4 afternoon of day 2 - Steyn has the new ball :vroam:

 

[Zorba]

The way the Aussies played was due to being hungover imo after winning the Ashes, and England played better than they have been.

This test may be a close one.

Well done England.

 

[Zorba]

Australia all out for 204 51 runs behind Englands 1st innings total.
