MERGED - The 2010/2011 ASHES tour thread...all Ashes related chat here please!

Aren't national anthems the most pathetic thing imaginable.
 
So this has started and I still haven't had several hundred PMs about cricket pavilions and what not yet?

Excellent
 
Strauss gone for a duck. The hilf strikes
 
He guided it straight to gully, poor shot, big wicket for the Aussies
 
Maiden wicket to start the series, big loss for England, Strauss was the key wicket for me and he'll be gutted with that shot.
 
Hilf stretching a bit, hopefully nothing serious.

England get a boundary off the edge of the bat.
 
Trott gets 2 4's

Close shout for LBW... review is called
 
Looked close first time, might just be going down leg though...
 
Not out, survives on umpire's call. Ball was clipping leg stump
