Is it just me, or is everyone else excited about the ashes?!?! I cannot wait! I've been waiting for a year and a half now and tonight I am finally going to get some of the finest cricket action! Yaaayyyyy =)

shame it starts at such a silly billy time lol

Yeah lol, only aussies could have such a stupid time zone!

lets hope they're all as inubriated (i know its spelt wrong) as i'll be at that time - we might stand a chance this time round!

oh - and i think trescothick is having 'showbiz' issues like sol campbell - would explain how he holds the bat?

All i can say is thank god i don't have work tommorow

come on the aussies. finally show wat ye's r capable of and put the limeys out of their misery. the english are poor at football>>>>cricket>>>>rugby>>>>>>and anything else ye's build yourselves up to. ye's have, supposedly, the best players playing for ye's but seriously lads ye's arent that good at anything, considering wat ye's r built up to, by the media and ur fans etc!!!!!

Well that was rather dissapointing, but hopefully the guys wont be so nervous on day 2 and make a comeback. With some luck we can draw this game, if the top 4 get stuck in. We've never been good starters in the ashes series, so it will get better from here on in. Could be worse.

Again, how crap!

England?All hype no substance as usual.Your press lead you astray time after time.When will you learn that you are no world force at anything

Yeah just like the 2005 ashes series, all hype and no results. Was the dullest series I've ever seen.

Where are you from Fojo? I always forget that Ireland are the elite of all sporting competition. Their cricket team tells you as much as you need to know about their sporting pedigree.

'' When will you learn that you are no world force at anything ''

Well i think we have been don't you? (just not at cricket.) If you need a reminder just post and i'll give ya a few reminders m8!!

truthfully no1 can say they expected us to go there and win a mean the first ball on day 1 summed up what the whole tour wil be like just 1 big humilation
