The Ashes 2013

[A Century United]

Part of me would like Agar to get a ton

Indeed, so long as Hughes promptly gets himself out. There are so many records going here. Astonishing stuff.

101no would be fine with me. Game is still in our favour I think.

As I say, take the loss and buck our ideas up in the next test.

Amazing stuff, though I think game certainlly isn't in our favour and in fact the series if he keeps this up. :stunned:

How is game in our favour when they lead by 60 on first inninigs having had tehm 100 adrift with one wicket left? I said the series would be decided by the waggliest tail and this is it. Cannot see how we will recover from this in this Test Match. Can see us being 3 or 4 down before we wipe out any deficit. Frankly crap from England here.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Agar out on 98. Rough!

Agar out on 98. Rough!

Only rough in respect that it wasn't 99 not out and Hughes was the man out. Preferred him to suffer in that way. He is Australian, therefore, horrible.

Rough was the third umpire's erroneous decision to reprieve him when he was on just 6.

Surely doesn't matter where they were - that's history. All that matters is the 60 first innings lead as we go into a still useful but steadily turning pitch. I've not seen Agar play his innings, but it does suggest that the wicket is pretty good for batting RIGHT NOW before it turns to a bowler's wicket. Delicately poised I'd say but the forthcoming deterioration has to give us a lot of hope.

Amazing start to the Series!

 

[BrettieAngell]

What a game!

 

[C C Csiders]

11/2. This game could be all up by close today. Absolute shambles. Pathetic.

 

[Jam_Man]

11/2 Ouch.

Come on England!!

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Sums up why Test cricket is still the best form of the game. Impossible to call who will win this.

 

[Shrimper]

Personally would be amazed if we won this.

 

[Jam_Man]

Never watched cricket before. Enjoying this more than I thought I would to be honest. Helps I can have the TV on whilst working I suppose...

 

[BrettieAngell]

Seriously?? After what's happened so far, anyone can win this.

Oh dear, how do you manage to get out of bed in the mornings? I think you need to watch
