Yes it would be such a shame to retain the Ashes like this, winning two out of three tests.
Not.
LOL Not saying we don't deserve it, but the grounds been less than half full all day, The Ashes is huge and just seems a bit of a lame way to win it relying on the weather. I'd rather we won it solely on merit, which I'm sure we would.

It's a shame it's raining. Our chance to go 3-0 up in the series has gone

The fact there isn't one post itt and we've won The Ashes kind of sums up my point!

Because we have not won the ashes, merely retained them.

Dunno man, I think we are a decent enough team but are quite up and down. I think our bowling is pretty good and a match for anyone, its our batting that is inconsistent.

With todays play getting stopped for bad light it got me thinking. Did tests in England not used to start at 10.30am? If this was the case then why the move to 11? Something tells me it's so their would be no dew in the outfield?

They always used to start at 11 then, when Channel 4 started covering it, they moved the start time to 10:30 so that the day's play would be over before Hollyoaks.

This is getting interesting, very interesting.
Broad is having one of those spells, which makes you realise why we constantly pick him.

Just when you think you are over Stuart Broad, and the Nicor-Broadette patches have worked, he comes up with his one spell/match of the series to stay in the team for another year!

agreed when broad gets going he is unplayable
Bresnan played a massive role in this as well kept in fairly tight in the dry spell
