RE: The ASHES 2006/7


reports suggest that Shane Warne is going to retire after this series.


Great loss to cricket but a great fillip for England teams of the future

Langer will quit after Sydney, too!

The Age of the Aussies is over. The Time of the English and the Welsh has come.

Glenn McGrath is predicting a 5-0 washout again, but we know what happened last time he said that. (2-1 England...)




Fair play to McGrath. He was right this time

The end of a very disppointing thread.


Maybe we could delete it so we can all forget!

Yes. You were right.


But I still can't decide if you were being pessimist who struck lucky or a realist. We shouldn't have lost 5-0 at the beginning of this series.

I'm no pessimist. Me and my mate at work were telling everyone who would listen that we were gonna win the ashes for about a year before we did. We were also telling everyone we were gonna win the world cup lol that one didn't go so well. It's just that this time everything was going wrong. Absolutley everything. You can put a brave face on things and talk about the spirit of this team or you could be realistic and say that to beat the Aussies you need a certain slice of luck and for things to go your way (ie not lose half your team through injury and have your best bowler suffering from his usual home sickness/panic attack/lack of confidence/being a useless knakcer). This didn't happen and I thought it was pretty obvious we had no chance. Our bowling attack looked far too weak to take 20 Aussie wickets in a test match as it proved. The batting lineup was inexperienced and also weak in comparison to the Aussies.


But who knows. If Monty Panesar had started in the first test and put it up em right away would things have been different? Maybe. Will we put up a better fight in 2009? Maybe. Will we win the world cup? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL NO.
