All we need to do is pitch the ball outside off-stump for Ponting and then he will push at it, like he has done in all of his dismissals in this series, and we will be in business.
Is this the way to win the Ashes?
(To the tune of ‘Amarillo’)
When the day is dawning,
On a sunny Thursday morning,
How we long to be there,
With the Army drinking a beer there,
Every run and wicket, on every single day,
We want to see the cricket, and the Ashes here to stay
Is this the way to win the Ashes,
Vaughany strokes and Freddy smashes,
Dreaming dreams of winning the Ashes,
And sending convicts home again.
Show me the way to win the Ashes
Gilo's guile gets blades a-flashing
Thorpey bagging loads of catches
To send the convicts home again
Tresco and Straussy starting,
Leaving McGrath and Dizzy smarting,
Then the Brett Lee no-balls,
Bringing even more four balls,
Then they bring on Warnie,
He goes the distance too,
Flying over Langer,
But he's only five foot two.....
Is this the way to win the Ashes,
Vaughany strokes and Freddy smashes,
Dreaming dreams of winning the Ashes,
And sending convicts home again.
Show me the way to win the Ashes
Gilo's guile gets blades a-flashing
Thorpey bagging loads of catches
To send the convicts home again
yes I seem to remember being told off on here for stating that most of you were moaning about the state of your team when you lost the first test - now look at the lot of you!!
in this situation england wont worry about how many australia are on cos there is no need as we have so many runs to play with.......
the amount we are defending is a reason as to why giles is not bowling as tighter line as he usually does.......tossing a few dollys up may entice a loose stroke.....
