Nothing tops the cricket calender like the Boxing Day Test match and add the ashes to it ... Oh yeah !

Hey!!, Just heard the news... Swann has just pulled the pin... retired from all forms of the game. Not sure if it's Now! or from the end of the Ashes series. Pity, as he brings fun and feistyness to the contest.

I think we're going in with an unchanged squad.

Looks like he's on his way now

Said few choice words aimed at his former teammates etc as well.

Prior might be dropped as well .
Harris for us might be given a rest.. (dicky knee)

We will find out in a couple of hours....

Here you go Al....      Pretty sure no one else will get the Jist in regards to Harris

Ha Ha !!
Thought about it after pressing send !!

Aus won the toss... again.

We are bowling ... and side is unchanged.
England dropped Prior for Bairstow

Looks like bowling first has backfired on Clarke.
Aus 9-160 odd ... almost 90 runs behind...
It'll take some pretty good bowling and england bad batting to get back into this game.
Your boys bowled well today.

Hi
England.... too little ........ too late...

the same thing Zeb

Unfortunately ....
It was too little guys...
4-0 !!!

I did not see this coming at all !!
You aren't playing well in all facets of the game and we're riding on a high.
Stokes seems to be the only shinning light.
They simply didn't recover from the pounding in the first test in Brisbane. ... Just my thoughts...
Any other reasons ?
