Can't believe there isn't a Cricket thread for the Ashes already.

Re: Cricket...
I would also like to thank Soith Africa in helping us regain the ashes ;)
In all seriousness though, well done to the guys.

Re: Cricket...
A lady walked into a Police Station and the desk Sergeant said
"Can I help you?"
"Yes" she said, "I'd like to report a case of sexual assault".
"Where did it happen?" the Sergeant asked.
"In the park just down the road" she replied.
"Can you describe what happened?"
"Yes, I was walking along the footpath in the park near the trees when a man jumped out of the bushes and dragged me in there, removed my underwear then he dropped his pants to his knees and had his way with me".
"Could you give me a description of him?"
"Yes, he was wearing white shoes, long white trousers, a white shirt and he had these two big long pads from his feet up to and over his knees, one on each leg".
"Sounds to me like he was a cricketer, most probably a Batsman", said the Sergeant.
"Yes", said the lady, "He must have been an Aussie Cricketer".
"That's very observant", said the Sergeant,"You worked that out from his accent?"
"No", she replied."I worked it out because he wasn't in for very long".

Re: Cricket...
Coming away from this series having only retained the Ashes with a 2-2 scoreline would be an enormous disappointment, and would almost feel like a failure given how close we are to winning the series, and how poor this Australian team is.
I think it's unlikely that this match will finish in a draw unless the weather takes a turn for the worse (Wednesday and Thursday look good, although there is some rain forecast for Friday), so it looks like 2-2 or 3-1 are the most likely scorelines. I think the first two sessions tonight will have a massive bearing on the final outcome.

Re: Cricket...
Yes 2-2 wouldnt be a fair reflection because of how poor the aussies have been but, they deserved to win at the WACA so 3-1 would be a better reflection. Plus has anyone seen the sprinkler celebration?
