The Ashes 2013/14

[Bruno]

Anyone watching? 

One of the few test series remaining that I enjoy watching. I have a bad feeling the Aussies are going to get hammered. England are playing just too well. Sure to be a great series!

No. Disinterested in cricket because to Australia fans:
Any Aussie batsman not walking=GOOD
Stuart road=BAD
A
I can name a few batsman who haven't walked and thrown a temper tantrum before in the Ashes

Can't really blame them for supporting their team even if they might be in the wrong. I guess all of us do that at one time or another. 

Btw what do you mean by "not walking"?

Not walking=refusing to move even when given out. There is a reason Adam Gilchrist walked even when he wasn't out yet, because he knew he was out in his mind,

Oh yeah, no I was wondering if that happened in today's play. Gilchrist was a legend in every form of the word, a true sportsman. What can you say, fans will be fans.

 Un.fucking.believable! 

Why do you Aussies hate Broad so much, never really understood that?

Is it because he took 5 wickets on the 1st day of the series itself....oooohh yeahhh!! 

[noelsoasis]

It's because he is a flat out cheat. A disgrace to the game.

Ahh alright.

Hang on why didn't the umpire just give him out? What was he doing out there

[Bruno]

It's really something the way Australia have come back into this game!

Btw Broad is starting a new spell. Let's see what he does. He's been in great form lately.

Also I have to say Haddin is batting really well right now.

[Robert DuTrot]

Trott leaves, every Aussie supporter is calling him a wimp. Would they tell a suicidal person to jump? thsat's coming from a former suicidal person (I am still a little reserved)

[Bruno]

I would never have thought Australia would decimate England like this! 

This man is on fire, must be the mustache!

Interesting, isn't it that there are some very fine Aussies playing Major League Baseball in the U.S. but no Americans playing cricket in either Australia or the U.S.?
