Ashes Series

NickP16AUS · Posted: Mon Dec 20, 2010 2:13 am Post subject: Ashes Series

Who do you think will win the Ashes 2010-2011 series.

England who's on fire with Alasteir Cook leading the score sheet with a whopping 236* not out plus other scores and Anderson who is on fire with the bowling.

Or

Australia who has Michael Hussey who is fire with 195 as his highest score this series (his also scored over fifty in all of his appearances this series) and who's in carrier best form and Mitchell Johnson who was off the rails at Brisbane then came back with a spell of 4 wickets for 3 runs?

The series stands at 1 all and a draw but England needs a draw or a win to reclaim the ashes. And Australia needs 2 wins in a row to bring the ashes home. With two tests left who will WIN?

Who do you think and why?

With the series tied at the moment England will expect to put in a better performance than they did last time,but as Australia have to win it out-right and England only have to draw to retain it i'm going for England Shocked

(nice post by the way Nick.P +1 rep)

Thanks but i think the Aussies will come and win the ashes because there conferdence is sky high and England is on a low with Peiterson a duck then 3 and cook is even going bad with 36 and 24 i think. But then Brad Haddin 53 and 7 i don't know.

Peiterson also, i have noticed has had consentration problems after he gets over 100 runs look at this video

At least he doesn't do this

Also it's pretty obvious that England tactic is to go after Mitchell Johnson and put his conferdence to a low and get him back in the state of mind he was in Brisbane.

I don't know if the Aussies will win i hope they do but it's going to be a great test for boxing day.

I'm going to the BOXING DAY test YAY.

If only we had Warney look at these

Well England have the advantage with the draw, both team's are fantastic, I think England will hold on, but Australia are a team that play hard but finisher harder.
Should be an interesting end to the Ashes.

New Zealand used to be desent at Cricket, but our team the black cap's have really gone down hill in the past 5-10 year's.

Best of luck to England + Australia, to win the Ashes will mean alot to both side's.

I think in a one on one day game or test i would back Australia to win.
There closer to home, and i think they are consistantly the better team.

Well i agree with white wolf Australia will finish hard and with a 5 pace attack it will get us to the and we also have 2 spinners.

Here's the Australian Line Up and what they scored in runs and the bowling:
Name: Runs Figures/wickets
...............................................................................................................
Phillip Hughes 2 @ 12 DNB @ DNB
Shane Watson 13 @ 95 DNB @ DNB
Rickey Ponting 12 @ 1 DNB @ DNB
Michael Clarke 4 @ 20 DNB @ DNB
Michael Hussy 61 @ 116 DNB @ DNB
Steve Smith 7 @ 36 DNB @ DNB
Brad Haddin 53 @ 7 DNB @ DNB
Mitchell Johnson 62 @ 1 6/38 @ 3/44
Ryan Harris 3 @ 1 3/59 @ 6/47
Peter Siddle 35 @ 8 1/25 @ 0/8
Ben Hilfenhaus 13 @ 0 0/51 @ 1/16

That's there results Mitchell Johnson Man of the match.

If Australia preforms like this again there is doubt that we will win.

That's what they want to win. Does anyone now what inside the ashes like what are the ashes burn from?

Yes i dont think it's very well known in America.
Just like Rugby.
Which actually surprises me, as American Football is so popular, why not rugby. Take away ALL the pad's and the Helmet's, change a few rules and you have Rugby.

No easy task against Australia.

Well done England!

Normally cricket doesn't interest me but as the Ashes series is quite short I don't mind it too much.

This is terrible for Australia they preformed in a disappointing manner thank goodness they finally got rid of Ricky Ponting but now we have Michael Clarke as captain that's even worse drop the two of them and make Hussey captain and Shane Watson Vice.

Well Done England Great Performance.
