It's The Ashes!

[crackerjack]

Flintoff clearly isn't even England's man of the series, and won't win it.

after that throw, he can have whatever he wants

 

[Diggedy Derek]

Didn't someone say on this thread nothing could be as funny as Pratt running out Ponting?

Blimey.

 

[don_quixote]

please, put it on youtube or link it somewhere. i need to see it now!!!!

 

[Diggedy Derek]

So that last cup of tea, half an hour ago, did it have ACID in it or something?

 

[luka]

i guess you're either excited or you're not. i haven't been particularly. was quite looking foward to watching england win the ashes from sydney but its been a bit anticlimatic. no on here seems to care. very little press coverage etc.

and now Clark, in the tightest run-out I've ever seen. genius stuff from Strauss

this is the tightest run out ever. keep watching it.

this is incredible! if flintoff does nothing else this test, it's already a great swansong.

 

[Diggedy Derek]

Fantastic video, thanks a lot for that.

 

[luka]

today, for example, is not terribly exciting.

 

[simon silverdollar]

could this be harmison's last test too... ?

 

[Diggedy Derek]

Stumped!

All the inventive dismissals today. Let's try and sledge someone into hitting their wicket.

heh heh, Siddle's the target - beneath all that war paint there's a scared baby

 

[crackerjack]

could this be harmison's last test too... ?

think he's bowling ok (better than Headlngley), but he's gained weight and lost pace and looks incapable of scaring batsmen out like he used to

 

[don_quixote]

come on handled ball!!

 

[Diggedy Derek]

What about if Flintoff, in a stunning display of character-packed fillibustering, keeps a new batsman chatting for so long before he makes it to the crease that he's given out Timed Out?

matthew hayden: how can such a pillock on the cricket field be a likable and jocular character behind the mic?

johnson c collingwood b harmerson

has boycott twatted him yet?

I presume others have been listening to TMS - I think the Australian commentators have been excellent. Even and especially when The Ashes are steadily slipping away.
