The Ashes

[Dayvo]

These would be the boys from England who have already retained the Ashes?

Quite correct.

But if you read my recent posts here, you'd see thatI'm referring to the series this winter in Australia, where I suspect we will get mullered, unless 2-3 changes are made, not to mention a change of attitude.

Are quite a few of them not from South Africa?

Australia haven't showed up until this Test. England fully deserve the series. It will be interesting to see how it goes down under.

Bit harsh on the Aussies - they dominated the last test as well.

 

[brodiej]

There you go.

The collapse is just round the corner

I'm not sure I share your confidence!

They'll run out of light/time but they've given it a damned good go. Respect.

Can't they come back tomorrow for day 5 ?

 

[yello]

Blimey, I thought this was day 5!!

I've lost it. Dunno what day it is!

Why on earth are the Aussies playing 'rip, shoot or bust' then???
