    yep its just broken up for Lunch. I think England can do it now. If we can get them all out today for not that many runs then take the light we can finish off the aussies tomoro with No problem. At the moment i cant see the Aussies getting a 2nd inning but i think England could so i think the ashes will be Englands on Monday at 6'o clock

    hmm.. i will agree with you but not completely. If England are offered light then Australia can ask the umpire that they will bowl with two spinners in bad light and according to the rules that can be done until the light is not very bad, which seems to be the likely situation unless it rains.

    england are being gutless by not batting because of "bad light" they are only facing spinners too! personally i think it is pathetic that they won't stay out there and get an actual result. just a really poor way to hand over the ashes if thats what it comes down to! Go Aussies!

    OMG i sometimes can't believe how uneducated lots of yanks are :rofl:

    cricket is way older and just because you don't like it (not refering to the quote) doesn't mean its gay. I die of boredome watching american football (which shouldnt be called football since football [to yanks known as soccer] was called football first and by nearly all countries in the world.) since there are adverts every three minutes and the guys seem to play for 3 seconds then rest for 30 secs then play for another 3.

    back on topic though, England seem to be playing supprisingly well and could take it B) :D , but hopefully the aussies can't claw their way back into it, since if it is a draw the aussies thake the ashes by default.


    Go ENGLAND

    here are the latest updates. England lead by 40 runs with 1 wicket down(Warney got Strauss) , lets see what happens tommorow. Also, it was amazing decsision by the umpires to offer light to Vaughan because they were only playing spinners. Anyways the game is still in Englands bag.
