2013 Ashes

England vs Australia

Wow can't wait for it to begin

Here we go then. Thankfully the time for speculation is almost gone. On Wednesday at Trent Bridge Shane Watson or Alastair Cook will take guard in sunshine, so it seems, and cricket's oldest private battle will be resumed.

Come on England!!!!!!

I've had enough of the Aussies being humiliated. Was nice before, but would be nice for England to be brought down a peg or two.

Come on Aussies!

215 all out
Solid bowling from the aussies

Aye, I did predict with my mates that we would lose the first test but then go on a winning streak in the next few.

However i'm not willing to write this one off yet, our bowling can be very good and the aussies can collapse just as well as we can, theres every chance we could be into the 2nd innings soon after lunch tomorrow

Perfect start, Watson gone, Cowan gone the next ball, Finn on a hattrick ball!

Can see this being a pretty short series in terms of days played. The way these two teams bat, and with the bowlers on display, it looks like the tests will be over in 3 or 4 days.

Amazing innings. Credit to Hughes too. Indicates how flat the pitch has become though, expect England to build a substantial lead.
