Matthew Le Tissier Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Not seen a thread started yet so thought I would do the right thing =) Fancy England to win the series 3-1 Gabba - Aus Perth England Adelaide England Melbourne England Sydney draw Pieterson to shove it right down the Aussie medias throat by being top run scorer follwed by Cook and Watson. Tremlett to be top wicket taker if he gets his chance. If not him then Jimmy Anderson. Come on England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpos Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 think it will be a tight series, but just England to shade it. looking forward to watching tonight, got the day off tomorrow so an all nighter getting pulled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Kilpatrick Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 It's funny. Maybe because I bought my Boxing Day tickets back in July I haven't even thought about it starting. That said, I can see this being The Great Escape Series for England: - Gabba - Aus win Adelaide Oval - Draw (interesting note: This is the first drop-in pitch at Adelaide since Port Adelaide will be using it for AFL next season. Whether that changes it from being a road remains to be seen) WACA - Aus win MCG - Eng win SCG - Eng win 2-2 and the Ashes retained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny ******* Powers Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'm going for 2-1 England. Thursday & Friday off. Finish at 1.30 today so afternoon nap to try and get on Australian time for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merse Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I don't follow the cricket much but was the Ashes not just in the Summer - how come they are playing again so soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Kilpatrick Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I don't follow the cricket much but was the Ashes not just in the Summer - how come they are playing again so soon? Because the cricket world cup is Down Under next year when the Ashes was due to be played. To keep the focus on that the Ashes was brought forward a year but they couldn't be moved forward in England as well because of the Olympics.

babywhalo Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'd guess England will win by 1 or 2 Tests Excited about tonight. Australia have an epic record at Brisbane, anyone have a theory why? 1st test to be a draw IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I don't think England will lose a Test. The are still vastly superior to Australia, and both teams know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Palmer Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Australia are pish. England 5-0 But probably closer than that. TMS on during the day too. (Edit: Scotland lost to Kenya in World Cup qualifying, 3rd defeat from 4 games, they should probably just give up now.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun.lawson Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Going for an upset and a 2-1 win for The Aussies. Me too. The change in mood prior to this series compared with the summer is alarming. All of a sudden, most of the questions seem to be about England... So I'll emulate Geoff's match by match shouts, with one exception: a draw at the SCG which dooms England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flecktimus Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 England didn't play that well during the summer to beat the Aussies 3 -0 So i am with Boris, England will not lose a test match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takis4king Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 fancy england strongly for this. as mentioned, they didnt play well in the summer and walked away 3-0 winners. cant see england losing a test, maybe a couple of draws but that could be as good as it gets for the aussies! anderson to have a fine series and be top wicket taker and hopefully cook can lead from the front and keep himself at the crease for a while!

JWL Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Weather not looking too great for Sunday so we may be kicking off with a draw. So, GABBA - Draw, WACA - Australia 1-0, Adelaide - Draw 1-0, MCG - Australia 2-0 Ashes regained, Sydney - England 2-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I've just realised that I haven't bought any tickets for the Sydney test - so when I went online to see if there were any for the opening day (the only day I'll be here), they're all sold out. Ah well. A good friend has just installed a massive TV in their pool cabana and a new beer fridge. I suppose that'll have to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennedy Bakircioglu Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 ?400 on England winning, with draw no bet. Probably should have bet after the first test as Australia may well grab the first test. But I'm going by the old saying - form is temporary, class is permanent. England simply a better team. Better coach, better spinner and more capable of taking 20 wickets. However which team scores more runs in the middle order may be the deciding factor. KP, Bell, Root & Prior >>> Clarke, Smith, Bailey & Haddin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWL Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Massive wicket. Hands the morning session to England. Huge session of cricket coming up now, which may well define the series even this early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJGJ Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Massive wicket. Hands the morning session to England. Huge session of cricket coming up now, which may well define the series even this early. Very important.. honours even in the first session of the first test...........could be a sign of what is to come 2-2 series drawn or if pushed England to just win the series. The weather down under would seem to make a draw more unlikely unless there is exceptional batting by both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
