If anyone who said test cricket is boring, watch the Ashes now !!

I think the first three days at SCG have been sold out ! Monday is a work day, so may be not this time , but if there would be an early result on the forth day and the SCG opens it's door after lunch time like Sunday at the G!

I'll be taking the afternoon off !!

And from the SCG - may be Ginza, 316 Central or 888!

Got to plan ahead......haha

where did you go this afternoon?

Two bets to run in this Ashes series:

Aussie to win 5-0 @$2.88 !

It was $19.00 at the start of the series, didn't get on , not in my wildest dream !!

Michael Clarke to be the top run scorer of the series @$3.30 but he is more than a 100 runs behind Warner !

If both bets cum off, it will be a good start to 2014 !

[AHLUNGOR]

3 for 78 and the captain is gone !

Not a good start!

Cook finally won a toss and sent the Aussie in,

Watson and Smith needs a big partnership !

C'mon Aussie

[AHLUNGOR]

4 for 94 !!

Watson is out LBW for 43 and England is on top !!

Smith and Bailey to bat after lunch, the selector has shown great faith in Bailey for keeping him - it's time to stand up and contribute for the team !!

[AHLUNGOR]

England strikes again immediately after lunch,

5 for 97! We are in deep shit !

1 over wonder Bailey got 1,

And Cook didn't drop this time and the Poms are looking good

[Oneonone]

Bailey should not be in the team he had no idea.

Come on Smith and Haddin

Cooke is not a good captain he goes on the defense far too easily

[AHLUNGOR]

Haddin should get man of the series - although Mitchell Johnson already won 3 times man of the match,

5 tests, 5 top first inning batting performance pretty much saved Australia everytime - all over half centuries and one ton. Awesome batsman/keeper.

So great to see him and his daughter Mia at the middle together for the National Anthem, I hope he is not thinking retirement - we need him in South Africa and may be even the World Cup in 2015 !

96 runs partnership with Smith while Smith is closing in on his own half century, the sixers and sevens are doing their job for their country !

[AHLUNGOR]

5 for 201, I think the Aussies are back on top !!

Haddin and Smith's 104 runs partnership has steady the ship !

Have to agree with you here Haddin man of the series and apart from his batting his wicket keeping has been first class.

[AHLUNGOR]

Just as I predicted and hoped for.
1. The sun came out.
2. The pitch became better for batting.
3. Haddin saved the innings. (good on ya Smith!)

I also reckon Bailey wont be in the 11 for South Africa.
He will make up his test failures in the ODI series.

I told u before Aussies play best when their backs are against the wall.
Never count out an aussie!!
5/97 is now 5/200.
This Ashes series was the revenge of the dropped players!
Johnson and Haddin are an inspiration to anyone thats been down and out.
Comeback Kings!

Very good call,

Happy to see that you are spot on !!

Cheers

[AHLUNGOR]

A 300+ runs score from here will be looking very good !

[AHLUNGOR]

Stevie Smith a good looking century !

104 off 143 balls, 16 Fours and 1 Sixer !!

7 for 289 - 320 to 350 is now within reach !!

[AHLUNGOR]

25 min to get a few early wickets on the England side !!

Nathan Lyon, still undefeated about 5 innings, pretty amazing !

[Oneonone]

Great nock by Smith pity he got out

[AHLUNGOR]

Harris to open the bowling and get the day underway:

Cook is gone LBW, first over !! what a start !!

And bloody Watson, dropped Bell on his first ball, Harris could have been on a hat trick !!
