The Ashes

[User169]

The fat lady has just arrived at St. John's Wood underground station and was looking forward to a leisurely walk to Lord's, but a taxi has been sent to collect her for her imminent performance.

Hope it's not that Lesley Garrett.

Hope it's not that Lesley Garrett.

Oh, I don't know: I just googled her and she 'seems' alright.

Mind you, don't know what her voice is like.

Thought Agar was unlucky there

155-7, three more wickets needed.

Anderson is just awesome.
Who would have thought all those years ago when he first started playing test cricket that he would be as good as he is now.
The boy's come a very long way.

...and it makes Duncan Fletcher's lack of regard of Graeme Swann look a bit silly. He'd have 300+ test wickets now if he hadn't been late for the bus that day!

These last few Aussie batsmen are showing up their supposed better batters

 

[rich p]

Done it!
2 nil, 2 nil, 2 nil, 2 nil.....

3rd heaviest defeat for Australia - England won by 347 runs.

The UK will have to start taking either Aussie rules football or Rugby League more seriously so we can have a half decent competition for something.

 

[ianrauk]

1 more, we only need 1 more.. only need 1 more...

"... are you Zimbabwe in disguise...."

Not the best soprano on the professional circuit, but it was still a very good voice. And she is completely unstuffy about singing non-opera, just as she is keen on getting people to appreciate opera.

Ouch:

In affectionate remembrance of Australian cricket, which died at Lord’s on July 21st 2013. The body will be cremated, the ashes to England.

Pattinson now out for the rest of the series - that's Australia's best batsman gone then.
