I didnt think the Aussies could really sweep the series 5-0 but its looking like weather will be the only thing that could stop that now.

o boy - seems like the bookies didnt like the four cheap english wickets (poms are 4/ 106 - just caught up with our first innings total)
pietersen and flintoff are in - and then only the tail.
(you want to make an easy 1.07?) (unless the weather etc)
lol - Warnie - stiff as hell after his 71 runs - stiff as he is , he just got flintoff - game set matchless warnie ! 5 / 113

"you got a match ?"
"not since superman died mate "

6.10 pm - no more bets accepted

 

[Bomba]

on the verge of 5-0. hope they can do it. roll the last 5 wickets cheaply.

[justjohn]

What's wrong with people these days ''we want a close contest'' or ''I've lost interest since the Aussie went up 3-0'' WHAT THE ...................... smashing them 5-0 :bananasmi :fu: this is national pride , history ,stuff the Poms ,send them packing with there tails between there legs PLUS give us the ASHES :aus: :swear:

 

[Prospector]

I think it will be a disappointing series if you want to watch good cricket. I am betting the ACB will be refunding monies for tickets for days 5 on all the test matches (unless we have a lot of rain delays) and people having paid for Day 4 tickets in advance will be very disappointed.

Oh, and it will be Australia winning, not the poor decimated English!

before the first match....

before the first match....

Well done Prospector. You sure you're female? I have seen some Thai men looking like you with black hair.

I saw this bloke on tv tonight. - They have a great sense of humour.
They have the name "balmy" because they back the pommie cricketers through thick and thin, despite their horrible record.
There is no point in being poor winners here.
Let's have a beer with em after the game and wish em the best for the next encounter.

PS I have to correct something back there - Warney still has a couple of years of county cricket in UK to go
