Much as I love an Ashes series I find it hard to support a team from the outset untiol I decide who the bigger fluffybunnies are.

Generally its Oz but Poms have certainly had their moments

I struggle to support either side but just love the series. Often very high quality cricket and plenty of heat out there

Replay shows ball is nowhere near the bat.

Fuckwit.

A mate of mine is listening to Triple M radio who have the comm rights this time - Brayshaw, Mark Waugh, Phil Tufnell, Mick Molloy.

Fucking Warne: 'he might bowl full, he might bowl short, maybe a yorker, perhaps over the wicket, or maybe around...'

Thanks for that incessant insight Shane, Starc might indeed bowl a cricket ball in one of the many ways possible...

@donsteppa and he'll use that familiar left foot/right foot combination.

The Ch9 commentary team are the absolute pits.

Slow session for scoring. Poms digging in for some flat deck action after lunch

154 first class matches with an average in the mid 30s is enough to get you a game for England these days apparently.

Should members of the most conservative state (42% no) in Australia really be making fun of other states?

Good innings, but that was a terrible run from Vince.

Ridiculous. They shouldn't be any more than honest county battlers. Is English cricket really that weak?
