Liam Harper Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 We'll win the first test with the papers all going "that's it, the Ashes are coming home". Australia will then absolutely whoop us in the next 2 tests, before the 4th test is washed out. Australia will then win the 5th on the 5th day by 3 wickets.

ericcantona7 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Derbys 84/2 (8.3 overs) Cork and Anderson took a pounding then Keedy came on and managed to get Moss. Normally I wouldn't worry as 189 is a winning total when Murali is playing, but Symonds isn't quite as good with the ball this could be close which is ridiculous as we've thrashed Derbyshire twice already. Also the weather is looking pretty bad, it could rain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Drinkwater Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I'm feeling distraught that I've missed out on the last three days - not only watching it on TV but it being on the news, the radio, in every conversation... When I come back tomorrow night, it'll all be done with, victory parade, cricket on normal TV, Warne in England, Richie Benaud... I've missed a lot more than just a game of crikeet being out here. I even ended up spending nearly 5 euros on a Times today just to catch up on all the reporting and stuff... Someone called me when I was in a cocktail bar to tell me it had finished and we'd done it, and the whole bar ended up toasting the win despite literally no-one knowing what was going on To be honest, my thoughts are about all those moments from Ashes series' past, back when I was knee-high, when the Aussies seemed like robotic superme. That day Border scored 200 in partnership with Mark Waugh in 93, and the superhuman catch MW took to dismiss Stewart for 8 in the same series when he looked set for a big hundred (I remember that series SO vividly). The easing back from being a test down in 1997 with a sense of inevitability. The invincibility of 2001. And now they've been vanquished. Not so much an end of an era as the destruction of the world order of crikeet that I'd pretty much accepted would always exist. I can't believe I missed it.
